QuirkEinstein Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I own a 2018 BMW 740i and have seen that the central console sometimes becomes quite heated, namely on the passenger side. The temperature on the driver's side of the console remains consistently chilly without any fluctuations. Does anybody has knowledge on the potential causes of this phenomenon? Initially, I hypothesized that the activation of the temperature controls may be the cause; but, even after deactivating them, the elevated temperature persisted. Could the issue maybe be related to the air conditioning system? I am uncertain about the potential causes behind the sensation of overheating emanating from the passenger's side of the central console. I am curious if anybody has any insights or perspectives on this matter. Expressing gratitude is a common social convention that is often used to acknowledge appreciation or thanks in many contexts.

Darrellll Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I have seen the presence of the 730d. The price of the item in question is £18,995.00, and it has accumulated a mileage of 54,000 kilometres. As a result of a recent shift in employment, I am now required to do an additional 12,000 units each year in Grade 11. Presently, I anticipate that I may potentially earn a maximum of £37,000 for this endeavor. The proliferation of Low-Cost Carriers (LCCs) and the subsequent increase in the number of flights they operate have led to a significant rise in air traffic. In order to address the challenges I am now facing, I propose considering a reversal of the current course of action, which would include placing less emphasis on concerns related to devaluation. Alternatively, will both vehicles have an equivalent depreciation rate, irrespective of their individual characteristics? This approach first seems to be straightforward and intuitive; yet, it lacks any guarantee or warranty, necessitating additional expenses for repairs and maintenance.

br1anuk Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I perused some of the issues you have had with your vehicle. It is important to consider that RunFlat tires are specifically engineered to bear the vehicle's weight in the absence of air pressure, while also ensuring stability at speeds ranging from 60 to 80 kilometers per hour. The ride quality of the vehicle is characterized by its harshness and noise, which results in a heightened perception of even minor irregularities on the road surface. Do the front and rear tires possess identical dimensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSM10000 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 The 2019 740 I drive has 19-inch wheels and provides a silky smooth ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithmerc220 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 The optimal wheel and tire combination for this particular vehicle is achieved by using 19-inch rims with 245/45 tires on the front and 275/40 tires on the rear. Upon the return of my 740d xdrive, I want to replace the current set with a set of 20-inch wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithmerc220 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 It's the 20" that's causing problems, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithmerc220 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 It is recommended to get a set of 19-inch wheels for your vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGreedy Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 The 750i xDrive M Sport model was equipped with a 19-inch wheel size and a square tire arrangement measuring 245/45. If the width of the rear wheels is sufficient to accommodate the 275, then this configuration would be considered optimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithmerc220 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 At now, I am in possession of a 730d loaner vehicle, which is equipped with a factory configuration with tires of size 245/275, with the same width as my 740d (which is equipped with 20-inch tires). However, the 19-inch tire setup on the loaner vehicle has larger sidewalls measuring 45/40, in contrast to the 40/35 sidewalls on my 740d. This disparity in sidewall size significantly impacts the overall performance and characteristics of the vehicle. The experience is like to operating a distinct automobile.

br1anuk Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 One highly sought-after tire known for its exceptional smoothness and comfort is the CONTINENTAL DWS tire. The acronym DWS is an abbreviation for DRY/WET/SNOW. The all-season tire has the load rating suitable for heavier vehicles, exhibits excellent cornering ability, and offers a very smooth and quiet ride. When the tires were installed on my father's CL63 AMG, it was observed that they exhibited a remarkable level of quietness. The Continental tires are also available in DW configuration, which caters to those living in regions with a perennially warm climate seeking a livelier tire option. Additionally, the tires are arranged in a staggered configuration, consisting of DW and DWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpaco45 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 BMW is now experiencing a state of identity crisis. The sales figures for the 7 series are much lower in comparison to the S class, and there have been reports suggesting that even the LS model has surpassed the 7 series in terms of sales this year. In the past, BMW was considered the preferred option for those seeking a dynamic driving experience in comparison to the S Class. However, BMW no longer fulfills this expectation and fails to match the luxurious qualities offered by the S Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEERMAN Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I agree with the notion that the level of luxury in the 7 does not necessarily need to match that of the S. However, I much appreciated the exceptional driving experience provided by my previous vehicle, and I find that the current one, although pleasant, lacks the same dynamic prowess.

WordSmith Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 The sales figures for the BMW 7 series in 2015, which marked the last year of the F01 model, amounted to a total of 9,292 units. The sales figures for the year 2016 amounted to 12,918, but in 2018, they decreased to 8,271. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has consistently surpassed the BMW 7 Series in terms of sales, however, it is seeing a more pronounced decline in sales compared to the 7 Series. In the year 2015, the total number of S class vehicles amounted to 21,934. The sales figures for the years 2016 and 2018 were recorded as 18,803 and 14,978, respectively. According to the sales figures provided, the Lexus LS model experienced sales of 7,165 units in 2015, 5,514 units in 2016, and 9,301 units in 2018. Based on these numbers, it can be concluded that the Lexus LS model outsold the 7 series model in 2018. The Lexus brand exhibits fluctuations in performance, although it maintains a robust level of customer loyalty. I have not personally experienced a luxury suite (LS), but I have had the opportunity to be a passenger in one. In my humble opinion (IMHO), I found the experience to be pleasant, although lacking in distinctiveness and character. The price of the Audi A8 model had a decreasing trend throughout the years, with the 2015 model priced at 4990, followed by a decrease to 4149 for the 2016 model, and a further decrease to 1599 for the 2018 model. It is likely that Audi is incurring financial losses in relation to the tooling expenses for the A8 model. The source used for this analysis is a reputable website known as "Good Car Bad Car." It seems that BMW is not seeing a significant decline in market share compared to Mercedes-Benz, while it is not making much progress in narrowing the gap either. The specific sales targets of BMW are not well known. It seems probable that Mercedes is seeing a decline in its client base, with Lexus emerging as a formidable competitor in the segment of premium vehicles that prioritize comfort and elegance above sportiness. In my humble opinion, the BMW 7 series continues to serve as a more athletic option in comparison to the Mercedes-Benz S class. Having owned both vehicles, I must acknowledge that the Mercedes-Benz is really a commendable automobile; nonetheless, my personal preference leans towards the BMW.

TDudette Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 There is a declining demand for conventional automobiles, with the exception of specialized models that cater to certain market segments. Please refer to the work of Ford. Henceforth, the company will only provide two automobile models for sale: the Mustang, a well-known vehicle, and an unidentified economical model. There is a widespread desire for trucks and SUVs among individuals. The Porsche dealership in my vicinity mostly specializes on the distribution of Cayenne and Macan models.

WordSmith Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 This observation is really valid. Unfortunately, those such as me who possess a preference for automobiles rather than sport utility vehicles are at a disadvantage. Based on the prevalence of station wagons in Europe, it may be inferred that I am of European origin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpaco45 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 In the past, I had a strong affinity for the 7, since it undeniably possessed a very athletic demeanor. Comparatively speaking, the level of sportiness shown by a vehicle surpassing that of a S class is not very noteworthy. The 7 Series may be described as a sporty and spacious sedan, distinct from both the S Class and conventional sedans. As previously stated, the phenomenon of identity crisis manifests as an individual's struggle to embody many roles or identities, resulting in a lack of proficiency in any one domain.

BEERMAN Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Currently, the prevailing circumstances are favorable as many items are being offered at reduced prices. I was able to get the seventh iteration of a certain product at an attractive cost, as the X7 model is being sold without any markdown and has garnered significant popularity among consumers. What would stink is if the Euros go the way of Ford and GM and get rid of their automobiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamWeaver Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Individual experiences vary, but, this is the approach I would use. Prior to exchanging tires, it is advisable to check the tire pressure and adjust it to the manufacturer's recommended specifications. If the noise level and tone of their speech continue to be excessively loud and abrasive, it may be advisable to decrease the volume by one level. It is important to note that the wheel size for the basic 7 series is 18 inches, as opposed to 19 inches or 20 inches. I have just acquired a set of 7 series base wheels for installation on my 640 GT vehicle, resulting in a noticeably smooth and noiseless riding experience. After experiencing a wheel fracture of 19 inches, I attended this event and have not had any more issues. These automobiles exhibit exceptional qualities and may need some time to align with one's specific requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrvesBMW Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I have acquired a collection of 19-inch wheels for my BMW 750i, which have been equipped with All Season tires in preparation for winter conditions. The quality of the ride exhibits a marginal improvement, yet it falls short of the significant disparities that are being expounded upon inside this discussion. Perhaps the reason for this might be attributed to the possession of Executive Drive Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamWeaver Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 The standard 740 model is equipped with tires of size 245/50R18. Fancy hotels choose for the BMW 740 model to accommodate their clientele, consistently specifying the recommended tire size due to its advantageous attributes. When the 7 series is tested with the specified factory pressure specifications, it offers an exceptional level of comfort throughout the ride. The assertion is not that individuals are required to alter their tires and wheels, but rather that recognizing the significance of tire pressure and size will foster an understanding of the exceptional ride comfort that the 7 series offers. The vehicle in question was a 1995 BMW equipped with 235/60R16 tires, which provided a quite satisfactory riding experience. Contemporary bigger wheels have enhanced aesthetic appeal and improved handling characteristics; yet, they compromise the formerly seamless ride quality.

keithmerc220 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I am somewhat uncertain about my assessment, since I had owned five consecutive M vehicles before to acquiring the 7. In my opinion, the driving experience of the 7 series can be characterized as sporty, particularly when opting for the rear-wheel drive variants. However, the all-wheel drive (xDrive) versions do not exhibit the same level of sportiness due to the somewhat heavier front end. Nevertheless, while navigating high-speed sweeping highways, the 7 series has a commendable ability to maintain a low center of gravity, resulting in enhanced stability and a heightened sense of assurance. While it may not possess the characteristics of a vehicle specifically designed for navigating canyons, it surpasses the A8, S-Class, and Lexus in this particular aspect.
