BMW 730i
After the successful introduction of the fourth BMW 7 Series generation in 2001, an inline six-cylinder petrol engine was also supplied from 2003. This engine was the engine known as the M54 already powering the BMW 5 Series, the BMW 3 Series and the BMW X5. The crankcase and the cylinder head are made of a lightweight aluminium alloy in order to cut down weight. Fully variable control for the opening of the inlet and outlet valves helps to make the engine fuel efficient.

BMW Hydrogen 7
The BMW Hydrogen 7 is the world’s first luxury saloon for everyday use powered by hydrogen. It is based on the BMW 760Li saloon and is able to run on hydrogen as well as on conventional petrol. The aim of developing this vehicle was to achieve a high level of compatibility with practical applications and thereby fully integrate the car in everyday operation. This vehicle passed through the complete series development process before being manufactured as a limited series of 100 units and made available to selected external customers. All the BMW Hydrogen 7 cars have jointly covered a total of more than 4 million kilometres.
