More BMW does not work: With 148,100 euros the 760Li is currently the most expensive model in the Munich program. In exchange, there are over 2.2 tonnes of car, spread over a length of 5.22 meters. And a showpiece under the hood, as the 760er is currently the only BMW car with twelve-cylinder. We recall that in 1987 the Munich impressed the experts with the first German post-war V12 750i.
particularly in the markets of Russia, China and the Middle East, it must already be the prestigious V12 emblem on the front fenders. But you squint at BMW of course to the competition from Audi and Mercedes. We also do almost squinting, because when we started radiates extremely white leather on. No less impressive driving experience falls from the 760 Li: Already from 1.500 rpm are at enormous 750 Newton meters, more than the most powerful diesel 7 Series. This helps the Upper Bavarian Dick ship to an immense acceleration, spontaneous one feels on the highway like a Transrapid. Just 4.6 seconds elapse until the 100-km/h-Marke, although the 760Li weighs well over two tons. Effortlessly, the hyperactive diesel station wagons are suspended in the left lane while the driver sprawled on his very comfortable, ventilated seat and cradled by the four-zone climate control. Almost silently draws the landscape over in a hurry, six liters and the dozen cylinders making the engine for discrete Supporting Actor.
boastful limbers with 544 hp? Not necessary! Rest and relaxation are the order of the day. This eventually expect the oligarchs, sheikhs and line-toeing new millionaires, take in the lush rear space. Here, the long-wheelbase 14 inches longer than the standard 7 Series does not lanky anyway. How can you fall into the standard nappa leather upholstery including massage function in the backrest and rear cross one's legs casually. Even some TV and a cool drink complacent? Very happy, but then it costs just 4,500 euros extra.
However, there is no stark poverty already in the "normal" 760Li. On the contrary: The top 7 Series is resplendent with fine wood inlays including at the back of the front seats, and even the handles in the roof. This is a headliner in Alcantara and so you know in what one goes, mounted BMW V12 special door sill plates. Extras are nevertheless sufficiently: Who does not like the mention upholstery color can also get other colors or can be his equal 760Li completely customized paint. Even an M Sport package can be found for 2,900 euros in the price list, which is used to smooth the Zwölfender unofficial M7. And the competition? Because the model change is in the Mercedes S-class for the time being the long version of the S 500 with 455 hp the measure of all things, it costs 107 635 euros. Twelve-cylinder four-wheel drive, there are included in the 500-hp Audi A8 L W12, it is at 138,900 euros.
