The BMW 745Le is definitely a clear step up compared to the old 740e model. Those two extra cylinders under the hood make a huge difference and they also offer tuners the possibility of adding some extra power to the mix, on top of what the car comes with as standard. Swiss tuner Dahler is no exception and came up with a kit for the plug-in hybrid 7 Series that would turn it into a proper 750i rival.

The standard BMW 745Le comes with a total of 394 horsepower and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque, figures good enough for basically any sort of need. The torque delivery is instant, the straight-six engine is smooth and the whole car feels like a refined product, with a great balance between speed, luxury and efficiency. With this newfound level of power Dahler infused in it, the 745Le is even better. But what kind of numbers are we talking about here?

Well, according to the Swiss company, they managed to squeeze 408 horsepower out of the internal combustion engine under the hood, basically increasing the output by 122 horsepower. The torque also went up from 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) to 600 Nm (443 lb-ft). The electric motor couldn’t be upgraded for obvious reasons and therefore remains the same, with its 113 horsepower and 265 Nm (195 lb-ft) of torque. Overall, the car can now deliver up to 521 horsepower and 865 Nm (637 lb-ft) of torque.

With these figures, the closes model in terms of performance to it would be the BMW 750i with its massive 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 and 530 horsepower/750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque. But even that car would fall short in the torque department. There’s no mention of the 0-100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time with these upgraded specs but we’re expecting to see numbers close to the 4.1 seconds of the 750i if not even better, considering this too is an xDrive model.

BMW has given its 7 Series plug-in hybrid family an update in 2019. The new BMW 745Le and 745e inherited the powertrain from the BMW X5 xDrive45e to provide additional power and electric range to its customers. The 745Le is simply labeled as the 745e in the United States, but the European market gets a choice of a short or long-wheelbase 7 Series hybrid.

The new plug-in hybrid system now includes an in-line 6-cylinder petrol engine that has been adapted on a model-specific basis to produce a peak output of 210 kW/286 hp. An electric motor with a rated output of 83 kW/113 hp and a rated torque of 265 Nm is paired with the combustion engine.

When the driving experience switch is set to SPORT mode, an overall system output of 290 kW/394 hp is available and a maximum system torque of 600 Nm. The new BMW 745e accelerates in 5.2 seconds from zero to 100 km/h, while the new BMW 745Le takes 5.3 seconds.

Meanwhile the new BMW 745Le xDrive reaches the 100 km/h mark from standing in 5.1 seconds. The maximum speed for all three models is electronically cut off at 250 km/h.

The new high-voltage battery for the plug-in hybrid models of the BMW 7 Series now has a gross energy content that has been increased to 12.0 kWh.  In HYBRID mode, the new BMW 745e, the new BMW 745Le and the new BMW 745Le xDrive can travel at a speed of up to 110 km/h – 20 km/h faster than the predecessor models – in purely electric mode.

In ELECTRIC mode, the power of the electric motor alone is even sufficient to reach a speed of 140 km/h. The electrically powered range of the new BMW 745e is between 54 and 58 kilometers, while the new BMW 745Le reaches 52 to 55 kilometers. The new BMW 745Le xDrive achieves an electrically powered range of 50 to 54 kilometers (31 to 33 miles) on the WLTP cycle. The more stringent U.S. EPA rating shows around 16 miles.

For the European models, the exterior design Pure Excellence and the M Sport package are available as options for new BMW 745e, the new BMW 745Le and the new BMW 745Le xDrive. The M Sport Package can be seen in our photo gallery below:
