BMW 740i to North America for 2011?

Sections: E90 3 Series, F01 7 Series, Rumor, Sales/Marketing Dec 10th, 2009 2 Comments

We are categorizing this as a rumor for the time being as it is unconfirmed. We felt that it was too juicy to push to the side and this information has some merit to it, it is not just someone guessing. We have heard from a reliable source that BMWNA is considering bringing the 740i to the US market this spring as 2011 model. This same source indicates that several other models will be introduced at that time as well. The other launches we were tipped to include the 3 Series coupe and convertible Life Cycle Impulse (facelift) equipped with an 8 Speed transmission in addition to cosmetic upgrades. We as always will keep you up to date as we hear more.

If the coup and convertible get the new ZF 8-speed transmission, what are the chances that the 3 Series sedan and touring will get it too before the models are replaced?

TBeam- The sedan/sportwagon will remain the same until replaced. Let’s just say that over the next week we will be able to give everyone some more solid information on what to expect from BMW this Spring… maybe even tonight

About BimmerFile

BimmerFile is dedicated to bringing you the most interesting news, links and reviews related to the BMW brand and it's vehicles.

We believe in the old school BMW ownership experience. We believe in garage nights with a six pack and some friends. We believe in 2002s, in E30 M3s and E34 540s with the 6 speed. We believe in progress in both design and engineering but we haven't lost sight of what made the brand and its products great all those years ago. And yes, we believe in the manual transmission.

We long for the days of the wave and for the days of roll-up windows. Yet we love the gadgets on the inside and the xenons on the outside.

In short, we can't get enough of BMWs. This is BimmerFile.
