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 441 kW/600 hp* at 5,500 rpm* and peak torque of 800 Nm (590 lb-ft)*
at 1,500 rpm* (fuel consumption combined: 12.6 l/100 km
[22.4 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 3.9 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 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.
