BMW 7 Series model offers pioneering character combined with the BMW brand’s
eDrive technology. It features outstanding sustainability-led qualities and

is known for! Here at your Chicagoland BMW dealers, Fields BMW Northfield, our team is excited for this impressive
new hybrid to hit our lot sometime this month. Keep reading to find out more!
The 2017 BMW 740e xDrive iPerformance is powered by a
plug-in hybrid drive system that combines the precise interplay of the BMW
brand’s four-cylinder gasoline engine with the BMW brand’s TwinPower Turbo
technology, all-wheel drive, and intuitive Steptronic transmission. The BMW
TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder engine will generate 255 horsepower and 295
lb-ft of torque. It comes paired to an electric motor that will deliver a maximum output of 111 horsepower and peak torque of 184 lb-ft of torque.
When working together, the combustion engine and electric drive system will
combine to have an output of 322 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. It
will come paired to an eight-speed Steptronic transmission and the BMW brand’s
intelligent all-wheel drive system (xDrive) that distributes the combined power
between the front and rear wheels
Drivers will also have the use of an “eDrive button” on the center console that will allow him or her to select from the AUTO eDRIVE, MAX eDRIVE, and Battery Control settings that will determine the operating approach of the plug-in hybrid drive system.
