Bmw 740i Vs 740il

740i vs 740il - Whats the difference external? Jump to Latest 18K views 5 replies 3 participants last post by QSilver7 Dec 22, 2016 F. The BMW 740i starts at $86,800, and it's equipped with a 335-horsepower six-cylinder engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive. Upgrading to all-wheel drive costs $3,000.

The main difference between the 740i and 740Li from a marketing and consumer utility perspective is that the Li is 5.5 inches longer. BMW claims that "all of this is used to increase space and comfort in the rear.". I wrote this huge long post talking about why I am on the fence of buying either a 740iL or a 740i but I figured I would ask if any of you know of a good 740i vs.

740iL debate that I could read. Basically my concerns are that the 740iL will be too loose in the suspension and handling department compared to the shorter 740i. I am in love with the look of the 740iL, love that rear door, but.

I'm looking to purchase a BMW and I like the 740's, but I have noticed some differences in the models. I would like to know the differences between the 740i and the 740il. I have heard that the 740il is actually a longer vehicle, is this true? What do the initials stand for anyway.

Hottrodd72 SF, Ca. Question about 740i vs 740iL Just a quick question here about the 740i vs 740iL. I know the difference in the wheelbase between the 2 models (at least in the 1994-2001 E38 series) is about 6", 115 inches for the i, vs 121 inches for the iL.

It seems like the 740i short wheelbase sport is the most popular, but is it worth the extra price? They are significantly more expensive than the long wheelbase 740il. On the list of features that the 740i sport has over the 740il, the only ones I'm concerned with missing out on are the seats, and the overall shorter length. 740i and 740iL differences? I was doing a little research on specifications and apparently (2 sources) there is a 200kg weight difference between a 740i and 740iL.

I can't figure out where all this added load comes from, can some one shed some light on the subject? Thanks. Bimmerforums is the preferred online BMW Forum and community for BMW owners. At Bimmerforums, you will find technical how.
