Review: 2015 BMW 740Ld is the ultimate cruising machine - The Globe and Mail
Thrifty performance an oxymoron. BMW’s long-wheelbase diesel 7 inspires those questions, has luxury’s requisites, and relegates the ActiveHybrid 7 to those who drive a few km per day. From blunt double-kidney prow and angel-eye headlights to rear pillar Hofmeister kink echoed in the taillight tubes, the 740L is classic BMW—no guessing if it’s a sedan or a coupe. Despite the luxurious long-wheelbase proportions it takes well to black trim, deeper bodywork and M-inspired 20-inch wheels, more sleeper than those uber-sedans with flaring nostrils and more pipes than an organ. But if you look for a yellow Benz Gaggenau you’ll find one of Carey’s favourite and most challenging finds. “The Benz Gag is pretty rare so we were lucky to find it. It was in really rough shape too, but we got it done,” says Carey. Source: www.theglobeandmail.com
