A big and heavy luxury sedan with a diesel engine is far from being a track toy but that didn\u2019t stop the owner of this BMW 740d from taking his luxobarge to the Green Hell. It\u2019s a previous-generation model from the pre-LCI years with the M Sport Package that has had some work done since it\u2019s no longer stock. You can easily tell it rides closer to the road courtesy of a modified air suspension lowering the ride height by 35 millimeters (nearly 1.4 inches).<\/p>\n

There are more changes than meets the eye because the inline-six engine has been tweaked as well. The turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel no longer produces the series 315 horsepower and 680 Newton-meters (502 pound-feet) of torque since it has received a stage 1 upgrade. That B57 now pumps out a massive 402 hp and a mountain-moving peak torque of 806 Nm (594 lb-ft). To match the extra oomph, stopping power is supplied by M Performance brakes.<\/p>\n

The BMW 740d\u2019s owner regularly drives his car on the track and decided to let N\u00fcrburgring resident Misha Charoudin experience that low-end torque delivered by the beefy diesel. While a fullsize saloon that weighs nearly two tons will not take down any circuit records, this thing pulls like a train and effortlessly reaches high speeds while remaining perfectly comfortable.<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t even the range-topping diesel 7 Series of its generation since BMW had the 750d with a quad-turbo version of the same engine. It had 394 hp and 760 Nm (561 lb-ft) from the factory, but sadly, the 750d has not returned for the latest-generation model. In fact, the quad-turbo setup has been phased out<\/a> altogether due to high production costs, low demand, and stringent emissions regulations.<\/p>\n

In 2023, BMW is among the last automakers that still sell performance diesel models such as the M340d<\/a> and X3 M40d powered by the same B57 as mentioned above. However, with the Euro 7 standard looming, the future doesn\u2019t look particularly bright for sporty oil-burners. Plug-in hybrids with the instant torque of an electric motor will indirectly replace diesels in the coming years.<\/p>\n
