    BMW 7 Series [2019-2023] 730Ld DPE Signature [2019-2020] Review

    So how's the new BMW 730Ld to drive?

    What is it?

    Why will I buy it?

    Potent diesel engine, incredible seat comfort, impressive driving dynamics

    Why will I avoid it?

    You get more character with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class


    This facelifted BMW 7 Series went on sale in the Indian market two months ago. Of course, the obvious question to answer is what's new in this iteration? And, apart from the looks (which we'll get to in a bit), the new 7 packs-in the latest tech, the brand's latest iDrive system, fresh trim options, and a host of new features.

    But before we get to any of that, let's get the exterior design out of the way. The 7 now gets the brand's laser headlamps which unquestionably gives it a mean appearance. But, we have to admit that BMW went overboard with the dimensions of the kidney grille. Its shockingly large! But like they say- if you like your bling..big, then you might take to it easier than I did!

    As for the profile, the 7 Series lineage is hard to miss. An extravagantly long bonnet that flows on to the rear revealing a smooth silhouette, sharp creases and a strong shoulder-line. I admit that I liked the rear section best (pun intended). The straight lines across the boot’s sheet metal run parallel to the exceedingly wide tail lamps, and the shroud enveloping the twin exhausts- a trick effect that exaggerates the already wide stance of this sedan.

    How is it on the inside?

    Considering that majority of the owners will be chauffeur driven, let’s get straight to the rear. Our car had beige interiors, and this along with the large twin-sunroof brightens the cabin tremendously. And then, the sight of the humungous leg-room ahead of the comfy rear seats that’s split apart by a large arm rest (with a tablet lodged in) makes you itch to jump in and feel everything.

    I obliged, and behind me, the soft shutting doors did its job by cocooning me from the rest of the deprived world. Being an automotive journalist, the critic within me was eager to get to work, and I went through the endless buttons and options. While at it, I found a button that pushes away the front seat to the extreme end, and a leg-rest popped out! Although, one can stretch out and relax here, the system also prompts the driver if the front passenger seat is blocking the door mirror view!

    Now, the rear seats can be electrically adjusted for recline, and head, thigh and lumbar support for a supreme tailor-made posture. Furthermore, they aren’t just ventilated and heated, but there are some serious massage options with intensity levels that you can take advantage of. And, in case you were paranoid about those prying eyes watching you adore the massaging affects (while inching through traffic), there are electric window blinders that instantly shut the outside world off!

    All in all, we found ourselves heating and cooling our seats, picking naughty positions (seat!), and massaging our backsides- showing how deprived our lives are! Before I deviate any further, there are two screens behind each front seat so that you can watch your favourite media aloud, or plug in a pair of ear phones. These screens allow you to also set some of the car’s settings like the cabin lighting, make seat adjustments, and alter the climate control.

    And, if you’re the lazy kind, and felt the buttons and screen were too far out to reach, there’s a Samsung tablet that can be detached from the arm rest. This makes it handy to make seat adjustments, opt for the massage modes, set the climate control, operate the sunroofs and use the navigation and media player. 

    Moving on to the front, the gorgeous beige-tan dual theme adds an expensive flavour to the unmistakable BMW design theme. Fit and finish is of high order, and coupled with the immaculate use of soft touch materials, glossy-wood finish, and brushed steel and piano black inserts, these elements collectively make the cabin feel exceptionally plush.

    What also adds to the premium experience, is the all-digital instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment system- both of which offer excellent high-resolution graphics. The touchscreen, in particular, is easy to use on the go, not just because it is wide and positioned at eye level, but also due to the touch-sensitive panel and snappy frame rates.

    Furthermore, all controls to the car’s features and functions are ergonomically placed within reach. And, in terms of storage, there’s ample stowage in the large door pads, inside the arm rest, and then some in the flat glove-box. Let’s move on to the front seats now. ‘Drivers’ will revel in the comfort and support offered via superior cushioning, great contours and numerous seat adjustments including lumbar, and massage options (driver seat only). Additionally, there’s lots of headroom, shoulder-room and knee-room here too.

    As for the boot, although deep, it isn’t as wide and tall as you’d imagine. You guessed right- it has a lot to do with the spare wheel robbing it of space. At most, this boot can swallow 2 medium sized suitcases along with some soft bags. Furthermore, the car you see in the pictures is the 730Ld DPE Signature and we’ve explained the features in detail here.

    How does it drive?

    Under the 730Ld’s stretched-out hood is a 262bhp, 3.0-litre inline-six diesel with a massive 620Nm of torque, and an eight speed automatic transmission. As expected of a car of this league, NVH levels are well contained thanks to excellent cabin insulation. As I prepared to drive off the mark and fed some throttle, the 730Ld just shot off with absolutely no effort!

    Amazed at how the 620Nm easily lugged over 1900kg into motion, I hungrily mashed the accelerator pedal even further, and the car nudged ahead with even more zest (in comfort mode!). As a draft of evil air caught my breath, I quickly hit the Sport mode button and floored the throttle at around 60kmph.Almost instantly, I could feel the added grunt hit the wheels, and the 7 simply scooted to triple digits speeds in a linear fashion, with a blink of the eye. 

    The gain in momentum was so rapid that my eyes strained to focus on the light-poles which’d begun to fade in the foreground! To give you a perspective, our VBox software recorded the 0-100kmph sprint in a staggering 6.37 seconds, which is quite sprightly for a car of its nature and size. After which the 730Ld went on to hit 160kmph in 15.76 seconds. Even overtaking is a breeze; the 20-80kmph and 40-100kmph runs in kickdown take just 3.94 seconds and 4.74 seconds.

    Now, let’s admit it; the reduced responses in Comfort and EcoPro in return for frugality and driving comfort may persuade you into thinking that these modes make the 730Ld a dud, right? Surprisingly, the response is so keen that driving in most situations, even in Comfort and EcoPro is nothing short of brisk.

    What helps the overall responsive nature of this motor, is the slick eight-speed transmission with well-judged gear ratios, that’s well calibrated to this engine. In fact, the only instance you feel the distinct gearshifts, is in Sport mode since the system is bent on extracting the most grunt to keep the momentum on boil.

    As the 730Ld rides on air springs, the ride quality is irrefutably comfortable, regardless of the speed you’re travelling at. This holds true in either of the preset modes (EcoPro, Comfort and Sport mode), as the ride is extremely absorbent. The suspension simply soaks up all the road imperfections and undulations without a fuss. There is one downside though; the run flat tyres can get audible when going over bigger bumps and expansion joints on cement roads.

    Having said that, selecting Sport mode makes the 7 far sportier to drive since it markedly firms up the suspension set-up, and renders it less floaty. In fact, it dials down the roll considerably too. On a different note, the ability to adjust the ride height via a button on the 730Ld’s centre console helps when the road conditions deteriorate severely.

    Another delight on this 7 is the favourable steering response. It just sucks the effort out of the equation, and makes driving this large luxury sedan a joke. What’s more, you don’t have to wrestle with the steering wheel while attacking a tight bend, or even while manoeuvring through tight city spots. What inadvertently helps here, are the preset modes which also affect the lightness of the steering between EcoPro, Comfort and Sport; the extra heft in the last mode lending the 7 its sportier character.

    Should I buy one?

    There’s hardly anything that puts you off the edge in the 730Ld unless you had to literally nit-pick. So yes, there’s some tyre noise over cement roads, and besides that, one needs to also get over the paranoia of driving in tight confines.

    On a positive note though, the 730Ld has so much to like. For one, you’re blessed with a rich aura when seen in one. Then, there’s the pristine and comfortable interiors, an endless list of safety and comfort features, a swift diesel motor and very usable road manners. After spending two days behind the 730Ld’s wheel, I have to admit that I certainly wish I could afford one!

    Where does it fit in?

    The BMW 730Ld DPE Signature that we’ve reviewed here retails at Rs 1.59 crores (On-Road Mumbai). On the other hand, you can get the Mercedes-Benz S-Class for Rs 1.63 crores, while the Jaguar XJL costs Rs 1.35 crores.

            Timely services will keep a motor efficient and in top shape.

          • Engine Type
            BMW straight 6 diesel engine

            The official title given by the manufacturer in terms of the name of the engine, the displacement and the number of cylinders.

            A bigger displacement and more than four-cylinders generally indicate a performance-oriented engine.

          • Fuel Type
            Diesel

            All cars in India either run on petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG or electric power.

          • Max Power (bhp@rpm)
            262 bhp @ 4000 rpm

            Gives a good idea of the performance of the vehicle under full thrust. A higher figure here usually means a higher top speed as well.

            Higher the power, the peppier the engine but it can also affect fuel economy.

          • Max Torque (Nm@rpm)
            620 Nm @ 2000 rpm

            Relates to in-gear acceleration. A higher figure here means better roll-on acceleration, fewer gear shifts, and possibly better fuel efficiency.

            The more torque at low RPM range makes the engine feel more responsive. It also allows the engine to run smoothly without too many gear changes.

          • Mileage (ARAI)
            17.66 kmpl

            This is the maximum fuel efficiency that an engine gives. All numbers are provided by the manufacturer based on tests conducted and specified by the standards of the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India)

            Such fuel efficiency attained while driving in special conditions makes it unlikely to get it in real-world conditions

          • Drivetrain
            RWD

            Cars come with different drivetrain configurations depending on the segment.

            Front-wheel drive (FWD) is most common in mainstream cars while expensive cars or SUVs come with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).

          • Transmission
            Automatic - 8 Gears, Manual Override & Paddle Shift, Sport Mode

            Type of transmission used to transfer power from the engine to the wheels

            A manually operated transmission is the most popular type, thanks to its simplicity and low cost. Varied types of automatic transmissions are also available.

          • Emission Standard
            BS 4

            Set by the Indian Government, this governs the amount of air pollutants released by cars to make the atmosphere safer for humans.

          • Turbocharger / Supercharger
            Turbocharged

            Manufacturers today offer turbochargers to boost engine power without affecting its fuel economy. Superchargers are found in more expensive cars but on the downside, they are not very efficient.

            Turbochargers are more effective but require plenty of heat management. Superchargers, meanwhile, offer linear bump in power but they are comparatively more complex.

          • Others
            Regenerative Braking, Idle Start/Stop
        • Dimensions & Weight

          • Length
            5219 mm

            The length of the car decides its segment. In India, cars that are less than 4 metres in length enjoy reduced excise duties.

            Length
            • Length: 5219

            Longer length results in more cabin space. It also adds to straight line stability.

          • Width
            1902 mm

            A car's width is defined as its widest point without its mirrors.

            Width
            • Width: 1902

            Although more width gives you more lateral space inside the cabin, it makes the car more difficult to park in narrow spots.

          • Height
            1481 mm

            The height of the car denotes the highest point of the vehicle from the ground.

            Height
            • Height: 1481

            Taller the car, the more headroom there is on offer inside the cabin. However, a tall boy stance also affect the car’s centre of gravity which can cause more body roll.

          • Wheelbase
            3210 mm

            The space between the center of the front and rear wheels.

            Wheelbase
            • Wheelbase: 3210

            The longer the wheelbase, the more space there is inside the cabin.

          • Ground Clearance
            152 mm

            It’s the space between the lowest point of the car and the ground.

            Ground Clearance
            • Ground Clearance: 152

            If the car has a good amount of clearance, it’s easier for it to clear big speed breakers and overall, deal with bad roads.

          • Kerb Weight
            1950 kg

            The total weight of the vehicle with all the standard equipment and all the required fluids.

            A lightweight car will always be more efficient and easier to manoeuvre whereas a heavy car would give you a sense of solidity while driving.

        • Capacity

          • Doors
            4 Doors

            The number of doors define the category of car. For example – four door means sedan, two-door means coupe while five-doors usually refer to a hatchback, MPV or an SUV.

            Doors
            • Doors: 4
          • Seating Capacity
            5 Person

            The number of people that can be seated comfortably in the car, which has also been mandated by the car manufacturer.

            Seating Capacity
            • Seating Capacity: 5
          • No of Rows
            2 Rows

            Smaller cars usually have two rows which can seat five, but some SUVs and MPVs have three rows and can seat around 7-8 passengers.

          • Bootspace
            515 litres

            Boot space defines how practical the car is with respect to how much luggage it can carry.

            Bootspace
            • Bootspace: 515

            A boot with a large and wide opening is ideal for loading heavy items. Additionally, a lower loading height also makes it easy to put in luggage.

          • Fuel Tank Capacity
            78 litres

            The official volume of the fuel tank of a car, usually denoted in litres.

            If a car has a large fuel tank, it can cover long distances without refuelling.

        • Suspensions, Brakes, Steering & Tyres

          • Front Suspension
            Adaptive 2-axle air suspension

            Almost all cars in India use an independent front suspension which is usually the MacPherson Strut type.

          • Rear Suspension
            Adaptive 2-axle air suspension

            The rear suspension can either be non-independent or independent.

            Most of the budget cars have non-independent suspension while the more expensive ones get independent rear suspension which offers better bump absorption.

          • Front Brake Type
            Disc

            Most of the vehicles sold in India get ventilated or non-ventilated disc brakes upfront.

            - The ventilated discs are more popular thanks to them providing better stopping power and it also works well in hot conditions.

          • Rear Brake Type
            Disc

            In affordable cars, drums brakes are fitted at the rear as they are cost effective.

            Disc setup at the rear is now getting more popular as cars are getting faster in the real world.

          • Minimum Turning Radius
            6.45 metres

            The official kerb-to-kerb minimum radius a car takes to complete a 180-degree turn.

            Shorter the turning radius, the lesser space you need to make a tight turn or to take a U-turn.

          • Steering Type
            Power assisted (Electric)

            Almost all steering systems in cars today have an assist to help park them better at low speeds - these can be hydraulic, electro-hydraulic or electric.

          • Wheels
            Alloy Wheels

            The wheels used on cars are either steel rims with plastic wheel cover hub or alloy wheels on higher spec models or expensive cars.

            Razor cut, or diamond cut alloy wheel design are not getting more popular. Manufacturers usually offer these in top-end trim of their car models.

          • Front Tyres
            245 / 45 R19

            The profile/dimension of rubber tyre that fits on the front wheels.

          • Rear Tyres
            275 / 40 R19

            The profile/dimension of rubber tyre that fits on the rear wheels.

          So the BMW has officially launched their New 7 series 2019 in India and talking about the performance and looks I really like the new 730 Ld DPE signature.The car has now a big front kidney grille which makes it aggressive than before,the quality inside the interior is really rich and premium that adds a "Wow" factor.When you'll step inside the car you'll be welcomed by a big infotainment screen in the middle and the I drive system of BMW is now more updated with the features like voice command that works like an assistant,the car has also got 4 zone climate control,seat massaging function,Panaromic glass roof sky lounge apart from it the car offers three engine options on offer 1 in diesel and two in petrol.Diesel is powered by a 2993 cc engine while petrol is powered by 2998 cc and there's another option of 6592 cc in petrol,the transmission is AUTOMATIC.The instrumental cluster of car is now fully digital.The new 7 series has got the adaptive air suspension which makes the ride really comfortable.Overall the exterior looks more wide and lengthy now. Front headlamps are LED and can be updated into BMW Laser.If you're looking for a True performances oriented car that is packed with so many features and Luxury then this is the car that you should definitely consider.BMW is always famous for their dynamic and futuristic design and the 7 series will not depress you.Hope this helps :)
