BMW published information about a new model called 720i on its official German website but it quickly took the page down. Although pure speculation at this point, the 720i could be powered by a slightly modified version of the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine currently found under rthe hood of the European-spec 320i. The mill makes 184 horsepower in standard tune or 170 ponies when detuned and fitted to the eco-friendly EfficientDynamics model.
An engine as small as the 320i’s would not have an easy time powering a car as big as a 7-Series but it could help BMW reduce its fleet’s CO2 emissions. Additionally, a 7-Series powered by a 2.0-liter four would likely appeal to buyers in markets such as France and Italy where cars with a large displacement engine are subject to exceptionally high taxes.
BMW has not commented on whether it is on the brink of introducing a four-cylinder-powered 720i or if the rumor stems from a mere typo. If true, look for the 720i to bow in select European countries later this year with a base price that could lie in the vicinity of €70,000 (roughly $95,700).
