BMW has debuted a diesel-equipped version of its flagship 7-series sedan in the US. Jack will not be driving one.

The 2014 BMW 740Ld xDrive features a direct-injected, turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder diesel expected to return a 25 to 30 percent increase in fuel efficiency. With its 8-speed automatic transmission, 255 horsepower and a blonde hair over 400 lb-ft of torque. The interior features are typical of BMW, featuring all the latest in optional Bavarian gizmos.

We’re told the base MSRP for this big body Beemer will be $83,425. Expect to see them in showrooms this spring.

I haven't seen if these are available with the AWD system yet - I was astonished with I drove one of the first 4-wheel'd 7's over Eisenhower to Vail. Not that most of your image-conscious Seibener shoppers are going to spec the Diesel AND the AWD.

ToolGuy Companies that don't have plans in place for significant EV capacity by this timeframe (2028) are going to be left behind.
Tassos Isn't this just a Golf Wagon with better styling and interior?I still cannot get used to the fact how worthless the $ has become compared to even 8 years ago, when I was able to buy far superior and more powerful cars than this little POS for.... 1/3rd less, both from a dealer, as good as new, and with free warranties. Oh, and they were not 15 year olds like this geezer, but 8 and 9 year olds instead.

ToolGuy No hybrid? No EV? What year is this? lolI kid -- of course there is an electric version.
