Bangkok. BMW Thailand recently celebrated the delivery of two BMW 730Ld M Sport limousines to Rosewood Bangkok, a luxury hotel in the heart of the city, to offer hotel guests world-class and unprecedented ride experiences as well as to reaffirm the hotel’s reputation as a leader in hospitality.

 

The BMW 730Ld M Sport's refined appearance evokes a sporty sense of luxury while still presenting a harmonious blend of supreme comfort and dynamic driving characteristics. The adaptive full-LED headlights and chrome kidney grilles – including an air flap that only opens when there is an increased need for cooling – define the unmistakable appearance of the BMW 7 Series range. The powerful 6-cylinder, 195 hp engine is coupled with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, which reduces fuel consumption to an average of 18.2 km/l, while rear-axle air suspension with self-levelling technology ensures a supremely smooth journey for passengers.

 

In addition to elegant design, the luxury sedan features an expansive interior and generous luggage space for the convenience and comfort of passengers. This ultimate on-the-road experience for drivers and passengers alike is enhanced further with new soundproof materials added to reduce undesirable noises. The back seat comes equipped with a new design and comfort package, including massage function in the backrest, Harman-Kardon surround sound system with 16 speakers and Sky Lounge Panorama glass roof – a unique and exclusive offering in the luxury sedan segment. At night, light emitted from side-mounted LED modules is directed evenly onto the glass roof, illuminating an atmospheric motif mimicking a starry sky.

 

The entertainment system includes a 9.2-inch display and iDrive controller on the armrest, which is further enhanced by the new BMW gesture control which detects hand movements via a 3D sensor and provides passengers with full control of various vehicle systems and infotainment functions in an extremely intuitive and user-friendly fashion. Additionally, BMW Touch Command function allows passengers in any seat to control comfort functions such as seat adjustment, interior lighting and air conditioning, as well as infotainment, navigation and communication systems through a removable tablet with 7-inch screen.
