The new BMW M760Li xDrive. Additional pictures and new editiorial content.

With the new BMW M760Li xDrive, the freshly launched new BMW 7 Series
is gaining a prestigious flagship model. Headlined by its exceptional
refinement and supreme power delivery at all times, the 12-cylinder
petrol engine with M Performance TwinPower Turbo technology under the
bonnet reinforces the new car’s range-topping status. The boldly
dynamic driving characteristics of the BMW M760Li xDrive combine with
superior ride comfort to make a compelling statement and set a new
benchmark in the luxury sedan segment.

Powerful and authoritative.

The new BMW M760Li xDrive gives a debut to the new
M Performance TwinPower Turbo 12-cylinder petrol engine. Concealed
under a cover bearing “M Performance” lettering, the 6.6-litre V12
develops output of 448 kW/610 hp at 5,500 rpm and peak torque of
800 Nm (590 lb-ft) at 1,550 rpm (fuel consumption combined: 12.8 l/100
km [22.1 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 294 g/km)*. The
high-performance unit with leading-edge M Performance TwinPower Turbo
technology accelerates the BMW M760Li xDrive from 0 to 100 km/h
(62 mph) in just 3.7 seconds on the way to an electronically limited
top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). If the optional M Driver’s Package is
specified, the speed limiter doesn’t cut in until 305 km/h (189 mph).
Power transfer is via the state-of-the-art eight-speed Steptronic
Sport transmission as standard. The M Performance-specific tuning of
the shift programs, delivering sportier gear changes and more
instantaneous downshifts throughout the rev range, has been specially
adapted to the characteristics of the V12 engine. With its optimal
internal efficiency and a gear-change strategy assisted by navigation
data, the eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission contributes to the
authoritative driving experience and works seamlessly with the
standard Auto Start Stop function.

Outperforming its segment rivals in driving dynamics and ride
comfort.
The innovative Executive Drive
Pro suspension system is a passport to dynamic sharpness and
unbeatable ride comfort. Active roll stabilisation minimises body
movements, and the system teams up with performance tyres, fitted to
exclusive 20-inch M light-alloy wheels in matt Cerium Grey metallic,
to give the new BMW M760Li xDrive the best driving dynamics in its
class – without impinging on ride comfort. The rear-biased BMW xDrive
intelligent all-wheel-drive system takes its lead from the available
grip levels to distribute engine power to all four wheels as the
situation demands. In the process, it delivers the dynamic excellence
you’d expect of an M Performance model and a supreme level of
performance in all conditions. Active safety and driving dynamics are
also beneficiaries of the standard Integral Active Steering system in
the new BMW M760Li xDrive, which complements the more direct steering
ratio at the front axle by adjusting the steering angle of the rear
wheels according to the situation at hand. This reduces steering
effort at low speeds and in dynamic driving, further enhancing agility
and active safety. The new 19-inch M Sport brakes, boasting blue
metallic brake callipers and M badging, set the seal on the dynamic
armoury of the BMW M760Li xDrive and ensure unbeatable deceleration at
all times.

Innovative driver assistance systems.

The new BMW M760Li xDrive is fitted with the same
extensive package of innovative driver assistance systems as all
variants of the successfully launched BMW 7 Series model range. The
Driving Assistant Plus system includes the Steering and lane control
assistant, Lane keeping assistant with active side collision
protection, Rear collision prevention and Crossing traffic warning
functions. Meanwhile, the Traffic jam assistant – which involves
semi-automated driving – can be used on any type of road. And the
Active Cruise Control with StopGo function now only requires
drivers to press a button to incorporate speed restrictions detected
by the Speed Limit Info function. The new generation of the Surround
View system now also includes a 3D View and Panorama View option in
the Control Display.

Dynamic focus underlined by the exterior styling.

In its exterior appearance alone, the new
BMW M760Li xDrive embodies the dynamic mission statement of the
BMW M Performance Automobiles with unmistakable clarity. The M
aerodynamic package with larger air intakes in the front apron and
exclusive 20-inch M light-alloy wheels in double-spoke 760M design
with matt Cerium Grey finish guarantee an elegantly sporty appearance.
The exclusive galvanised Cerium Grey finish for the kidney grille
frame and the fronts of the grille bars, along with the front apron
strip, the strips on the exterior door handles, Air Breathers, side
door trim elements and boot lid handle, all add colour accents, subtly
highlighting the special status of the BMW M760Li xDrive within the
BMW 7 Series model range and the BMW model line-up as a whole. Other
notable exterior features include the mirror caps, likewise in Cerium
Grey, V12 badges on the C-pillars, the M logos on the sides of the car
and the xDrive lettering and model badge at the rear. A new M sports
exhaust system with flap control generates an emotionally rich V12
soundtrack and adds the finishing touches to the signature
M Performance look with its galvanised Cerium Grey twin tailpipe
embellishers in exclusive design positioned on either side.

Familiar M Performance accents for the interior, too.

The now familiar BMW M Performance character is also
present and correct inside the car. The exclusive M leather steering
wheel carries the M logo, has Pearl Gloss Chrome multifunction buttons
on its spokes and shift paddles for manual gear changes on the
reverse. Door sill plates with an illuminated V12 logo whet the
appetite for the driving pleasure to come, while the instrument
cluster contains an exclusive speedometer featuring the model
designation and a dial now extending to 330 km/h (205 mph). Like the
M pedals and M driver’s footrest, the special speedo points to the
performance potential of the BMW M760Li xDrive. The area of the centre
console around the selector level and iDrive Controller is adorned
with a BMW Individual decorative inlay in Piano Finish Black and with
V12 badging. The optional Touch Command Panel in the rear
compartment’s centre armrest hosts a similar V12 identifier.

Comfort features generate a modern and luxurious ambience.

The electrically adjustable front comfort seats with
memory function and the Fineline black fine wood interior trim strips
with high-gloss metal effect team up with high-quality deep-pile floor
mats in the rear compartment and an Alcantara Anthracite headliner to
generate a luxurious ambience. Exclusive Nappa leather trim covers the
seat surfaces, seat side sections, head restraints, door cards, centre
armrests and side armrests to round off the elegant atmosphere in
tasteful style.

BMW M760Li xDrive V12 Excellence option also available.

For customers looking to trade the overtly dynamic
appearance of their BMW M760Li xDrive for a more discreet luxurious
look, the optional BMW M760Li xDrive V12 Excellence is available at no
extra cost. This character variant significantly alters the
personality of the BMW M760Li xDrive, shedding the M aerodynamic
package and adding 20‑inch BMW Individual light-alloy wheels in
W‑spoke 646 design high-gloss polished with mixed-size tyres (front:
245/40 R20, rear: 275/35 R20). There is also a high-gloss Black finish
for the brake callipers. Customers choosing the V12 Excellence model
can expect their BMW M760Li xDrive to feature a chrome bar extending
across the full width of the car in the upper section of the air
intake grille. In addition, the kidney grille bars are in Silver with
chrome fronts and surrounds likewise in bright chrome. All the other
trim elements on the body also come in bright chrome. In place of a
model designation, the BMW M760Li xDrive V12 Excellence has a “V12”
badge on the boot lid. The comfort-oriented exhaust system’s pair of
chrome, rectangular tailpipe embellishers are now framed by additional
chrome trim. Inside the car, meanwhile, the BMW steering wheel
features wood inlays, and the V12 lettering in the instrument cluster
– whose speedometer extends as far as 260 km/h (160 mph) – illuminates
when the driver fires up the engine. The comfort-biased exhaust system
with its refined soundtrack also helps to accentuate the specific
character of the V12 Excellence model.

Intuitive operation with touch display and BMW gesture control.

As in all variants of the new BMW 7 Series, the
monitor of the iDrive operating system in the new range-topping
BMW M760Li xDrive comes in touch display form. This means customers
will be able to navigate around the system in the same way as with
modern electronic devices. In addition to using the Controller to
operate the system in the familiar style, its functions can also be
selected and activated by touching the screen’s surface.

The iDrive system also features the gesture control system presented
in the BMW 7 Series for the first time. Hand movements detected by a
3D sensor control infotainment functions in an extremely intuitive and
user-friendly fashion. The gestures can be used for a number of
functions, including controlling the volume in audio applications and
accepting or rejecting incoming telephone calls. There is also the
option of pairing a specific gesture with an individual choice of
function. Also joining the fray is a new smartphone holder integrated
into the centre console, which enables wireless, inductive charging
for mobile phones for the first time in a car.
