A limited amount of special edition BMW 760Li are being badged with exterior M-badges for the Middle East. Powered by the same V12 biturbo as the standard 760Li it goes to 60 in a impressive (for it's size) 4.6 seconds. It gets plenty of other M goodies like the body kit, paint choices, wheel selection, and other bits. I'll take one in Monte Carlo blue please.

Saw a 760Li two days ago in the city. It raced a Hyundai Genesis Coupe, it was funny. The 760 annihilated it.

I thought that was only AMGs?

BMWs stance of not wanting to dilute the M brand stops short of the 7 series.

While AMG and the S65 sit on the other side laughing their asses off.

I love BMW, but my god, these people have been stuck in a midlife crisis for the past 5 years and it's getting worse. Even numbers are coupes, unless they are grancoupes. The M5 is now a tank with fake engine noises. And now the premier luxury icon of the brand is trying to be sporty. It's like seeing a 50 year old man wear Ed Hardy shirts and skinny jeans.

No, I also saw a Pontiac G6 sedan today it looked identical to this:

But with this badge right next to the V6 badge

But, who knows, could have actually been a jalopwetdream car.

This has badges from the factory, although not on the rear where it says 760Li

0-60 in 4.6..Audi S8 says that's cute. For real BMW build a legit M7.

Hey the 760Li is bigger than the S8 so it still is pretty impressive

I thought from what some Brits had to say about past generations of the 7 series ("about as much suspension travel as a table" if I'm not mistaken) it was already M enough?

Haha have you driven one? I recommend you do, the ride will surprise you for a car it's size. If I could afford one, I probably wouldn't buy it because I'd rather have an M5 because 6MT
