Its power is up, too, boosted from 493 to 513bhp, while peak torque remains at 516 lb ft.. While this results in improved performance figures — 0 - 60 now dipping below the 4.0 sec mark and the top speed climbing to 189mph — fuel economy and CO2 emissions have benefitted from the update, too.

The engine has a peak power output of 320hp and a maximum torque of 450Nm, the latter developed from just 1,300 rpm, giving this 7 Series the same performance as the outgoing 740i, but with fuel economy stands at 35.8 mpg with CO2 emissions of 184g / km.

Anthropogenic emissions of CO2 are increasing, and accelerating, and current proposals for reducing them present no plausible scenario in which emissions will actually peak and decline in anywhere near the time frame that is required to avoid what are generally considered «dangerous» levels of CO2 (although points 1 - 3 above suggest that the current levels are more dangerous than has been generally believed).
