Just as promised, the BMW US people brought the new BMW 740Ld xDrive to the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, marking the car’s North American debut and entering a new day and age for BMW’s diesel expansion.

The new car arrived dressed in Sapphire Black and fitted with a plethora of optional features, including the exterior M Sport package. On the bonnet, the 740Ld moniker was shinier than ever, announcing a new day for the BMW line-up in the US.
The 7er will be using a 3-liter turbocharged diesel engine that makes 258 HP and 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) of torque and the xDrive all-wheel-drive system.
The 0-60 mph sprint is done with in just 6.1 seconds, despite the car’s near 2 tone weight, thanks to the brilliant 8-speed automatic gearbox it comes with. Fuel consumption is rated at 5.6 l/100 km (42 mpg), not that anyone buying this car would be terribly worried about the mpg rating as prices start at $83,425 (including handling).
