Thanks. Very interesting. I didn't realize BMW went big with the Turbos.

The non-turbo N52, an interesting six with no iron liners in a magnesium-aluminum block, was BMW's mainstream engine from 2004-2015. After that, turbos took over.

That's actually the 740e that comes with a combined 2-liter turbo plus an integrated electric motor that starts at around $90K.
The lowest priced base 7-series model (740i) comes with a 3-liter I6 turbo engine.

Seems to me if you want a bigger lux BMW, you go with an X5 (or now the X7).
Agreed. You buy an S Class.

Maybe someone doesn't want an SUV, and would rather have a large sedan?

I'd still rather have the sedan. Minority opinion yes, but it's mine.
