BMW M760Li xDrive: PH Videoblog

BMW's new flagship 610hp V12 7 Series uber barge put through its paces on road... and track

---

As you may have read in our review, the M760Li xDrive is designed to be the most luxurious way yet devised to travel behind a BMW roundel. Whether you're being driven out of the city to your country pile or simply to a fancy restaurant the other side of town its technology aims to sooth and cosset you in leather-lined opulence or act as a fully connected mobile office depending on your needs. So obviously the first thing WE did was drive it round a race track...

That'll be the M Performance part of the equation of course, BMW wanting to prove the M760Li is a limo you'll want to drive as well as be driven in. Does it achieve both goals? Over to Dan to find out...

I don't mean to be rude but that was incredibly boring.

why not pop the bonnet and show the engine?

Because it looks like a large piece of black plastic.

Feel like it's a shame you can't get this engine in more of a luxury spec styling wise without all the M bits all over the show. It's an impressive machine no doubt but the B7 is so much more appealing.

It's fast, but at £132k it will depreciate faster.

Interesting car and a technological masterpiece but you'd need a very long bargepole when pondering a 10yr old one.

BMWs best engineers must have worked long and hard on that engine!

I mean, to get just 91bhp/litre from a it must have taken a HUGE amount of work and calibration. I suspect the throttles aren't even allowed to be 100% open at peak power......... ;-)
