The eight-cylinder petrol engines.
The larger displacement of the eight-cylinder powerplants increases power output to 270 kW (367 bhp) in the BMW 750i and 750Li, and 225 kW (306 bhp) in the BMW 740i and 740Li. Even at high engine speeds, the V8s remain vibration-free, thanks to their precise mass distribution. Valvetronic, the fully-variable valve control system, ensures the engines breathe freely. The result is breathtaking performance: the BMW 750i, for example, needs just 5.9 seconds from zero to 100 km/hr.

The straight six-cylinder petrol engine.
From the very second it springs to life, the straight six-cylinder engine in the BMW 730i and 730Li expresses the pure joy of BMW engineering at its best: naturally aspirated and with high engine speeds. With a maximum power output of 190 kW (258 bhp), and maximum torque of 300 Nm at 2,500 rpm, the responsive six-cylinder powerplant offers outstanding fuel efficiency thanks to BMW’s unique valve control system, Valvetronic, and a three-stage variable intake manifold.
