I like the trunk feature on 7-series, very precise. Is this the base model 7-series for Malaysia?

[alexlovesmac]

@1bentley4ever Yes. It was recently launched together with the top of the range 760Li Individual. Previously there was only the 740Li and 750Li.

[1bentley4ever]

@alexlovesmac Is the 730li the 228 hp 3.0 L6 model?

[alexlovesmac]

@1bentley4ever I believe it uses the N52B30 BMW engine. It has 2996cc, 258bhp and 310Nm of torque.

[1bentley4ever]

@alexlovesmac Ok, I'm not too familiar with BMW engines. Sounds like the previous 3 liter the US had. That was in the 330i and 530i. The less powerful 3 liters the US has are designated by 30 for the X5 and Z3, and for 3, 1, and 5 series it is the 328i, 528i, and 128i.

@alexlovesmac I thought it has 272hp?

[alexlovesmac]

@markus11chung the spec sheet says it has 258bhp.

[markus11chung]

@alexlovesmac The ones we get in HK has 272hp.

[alexlovesmac]

@markus11chung Oh? The 730Li? Em, if there such a model in HK called the 740Li Vantage?

[markus11chung]

@alexlovesmac Yeah, the 730Li. Yep, we get the 740Li Vantage, its cheaper than the regular 740Li.

[alexlovesmac]

@markus11chung What is the difference between the 740Li Vantage and non-Vantage if I may ask? Since I read on Wiki and didn't understand what it said.

[markus11chung]

@alexlovesmac The Vantage doesn't have the Navigation System Professional, no comfort seats, no USB interface, no rear seat entertainment system (only available along with navigation system). While the non-Vantage models have them as standard. I just don't see the point, all of them are available as options on the Vantage.

[alexlovesmac]

@markus11chung Oh I see. Who would buy that model?? To me, it's no use buying such a luxury car without all those amenities.

[alexlovesmac]

@markus11chung Btw, what's the price difference between the 730Li, 740Li Vantage and 740Li? And does the 730Li have all those amenities the 740Li Vantage doesn't?

[markus11chung]

@alexlovesmac The price difference between the 730Li and 740Li Vantage is around $100,000. The 730Li has the Navigation System Professional and comfort seats while its an option on the 740Li Vantage. The price difference between the Vantage and the regular 740Li is around $200,000.

[alexlovesmac]

@markus11chung Oh. So the Vantage is sort of like the base model?

[markus11chung]

@alexlovesmac It's a budget 740Li. The Vantage costs $1,198,000 while the regular 740Li costs $1,368,000. The 730Li costs $1,098,000.
