New 760i V12

[Blitz]

I didn't think BMW would make a V12 anymore. Twin turbo's which is weird.



544BHP and 750 Nm torque.

Thats a proper chariot. I'll have one in 15 Years time when they're on ebay for £400

Mirrored my thoughts! Proper tree stump pulling power there!

What a car

New rear end is a vast improvement but it has a face like a blistered piss pot.

Twin-turbos seem to be being used in all the newer BMW set-ups.
Interesting that the power and torque are pretty similar to the new X5-M and X6-M V8's - makes you wonder why they bothered and didn't just go M7...

they also do 4.0L straight six's they seem to have gone mad with the 7's

[Pilsbury]

Do they? In what?

740i

i'm sure they will bring it into other models like the 5's in a couple of years

there also twin turbo straight 6's

740i is the same engine as the 135i, 335i and new Z4 - it's a 3.0 twin-turbo, apparently in a different state of tune, although most 135i's and 335i's seem to make the same sort of figures on a dyno.

0-62 in 6 sec's and top speed 155mph

stupid, although i read some where that they had 4.0 engines, i'am 99% the bmw site said it had a 4.0 engine too when they first started showing it on the site

[Alex]

just been through the site, bmw do the following size capacity engines

2.0
2.5
3.0
4.0
4.5
5.0

(excludes M cars)

i'm shocked that thats the only sizes they do, i know they tune them differently but thats shocking.

no more 1.6, 1.8, 2.3, 2.8, 3.5


looks like a way to cut costs to me

0-60: 4.6s (M3 quick)

I am no longer a BMW fan,but I did like the outgoing 7 series!
