The BMW 740Ld was a diesel-powered variant of the F01 7 Series that was introduced for the 2009 model year. The 740Ld was offered on the 7 Series' long wheelbase and was only built in a sedan body style. These luxury cars were powered by BMW's N57 engine, which was a 305hp twin-turbodiesel 3.0L inline six. From launch until the 2013 model year, a 6 speed automatic transmission sent drive to the rear wheels, but after 2013, an 8 speed automatic was used. Production of the F01 BMW 740Ld lasted until 2015.
