Thread: БМВ 740Ld дэбютуе ў Чыкага, разам з якой-то маленнем для дылераў не называю гэта "ЛД"

$Lets say you have 83,425 sitting around and you want to make найбольш эканамічным варыянтам можна besides, say, a Tesla, or a brace of Prius Plug-Ins augmented by suitcases of cash. Lets also say that youre the type of literal-minded decent human being who never once looked at the back of the mighty 750il and said, Heh. Seventy-five oil. Heh.
Ну тады, добры чалавек, у BMW ёсць свой аўтамабіль.

Новы 740Ld is basically a 740Li, only with BMWs 3. 0-liter TwinPower turbo diesel straight-six. Were expecting 255 hp and a robust 413 lb-ft of torque, likely making the LD a bit more sprightly in normal urban driving than the boosted gasoline six in the Li.
Пераважная большасць Siebeners ў гэтай краіне, напэўна, выходзьце ў дзверы на 899 $/месяц арэнда, і гэты дызельны варыянт не правоподобно для таго каб змяніць гэтую схему. Можна толькі гадаць, як бадзёра тыповая аўдыторыя для гэтага аўтамабіля будзе падладжвацца стоячы ў брудных лужынах са стаялай дызельнага паліва на грузавік спыняецца падчас бегавых прагулак. Так, заможныя людзі прывыклі глынаць абразы з ўзгараньне ад сціску ў 300TD эпохі, але гэта таму, што Мэрсэдэс-Бенц ў асноўным прымушаюць іх рабіць гэта і які працэнт з іх абраў замест таго, каб рызыкаваць наклікаць на сябе гнеў федэральны ўрад, каб прынесці ў жахліва недастатковая W123 230Е седан. Калі значная колькасць людзей, якія гатовыя рызыкаваць сваёй аплачаны наяўнымі бензадыазепіны захапілі ў доках і кінутыя ў Атлантычны акіян, толькі б пазбегнуць пакут, дызельнага паліва, гэта даволі салідны паказчык, што якасць жыцця, праблемы, звязаныя з Рудолфс соку з'яўляюцца значнымі.
In a future where the United States adopts a punitive CO2-emissions-based taxation policy for privately-owned automobiles, perhaps in President Hillarys second term, this 740Ld will be a guaranteed winner. Until then, it will be a curiosity, driven by people who want to make a point.

Well then, my good man, BMW has your car.

The vast majority of Siebeners in this country probably go out the door on $899/month leases and this diesel variant isnt likely to change that pattern. One wonders just how cheerfully the typical demographic for this automobile will adjust to standing in filthy puddles of stagnant diesel fuel at truck stops during cross-country trips. Yes, wealthy people used to swallow the indignities of compression ignition in the 300TD era, but that was because Mercedes-Benz basically forced them to do so — and some percentage of them chose instead to risk the wrath of the Federal government to bring in horrifyingly underpowered W123 230E sedans. When significant numbers of people are willing to take a chance on their paid-in-cash Benzos being seized at the docks and thrown into the Atlantic Ocean, just to avoid the miseries of diesel fuel, thats a pretty solid indicator that the quality-of-life issues associated with Rudolfs Juice are significant.
