About bmw 740li 2016
Even as crossovers continue to conquer America, and seemingly every automaker has a two-door vanity project to cast a glow over its lineup, big luxury sedans still project gravitas in the German-car business. Audi’s, BMW’s, and Mercedes’ largest cars remain totems of brand values and stylistic themes, as well as vanguards for the technologies that trickle down to the rest of the fleet. A year and 40,000 miles with Munich’s latest flagship, a 2016 BMW 740i, confirms what we’ve been saying for almost a decade: The soil under BMW HQ has truly shifted.
