2013 BMW 760Li review notes - AutoWeek
I love this 2013 BMW 760Li. For $159,395 one should love it, you say. I have heard over the years that we have China to thank for BMW's V12-powered big sedan, such is the appetite the Chinese have for this car. About 25 percent of BMW's V12 production heads there and are used as executive limos and such. As you can probably guess the car is quick off the line and throughout the rev range and the eight gears. The chassis balance felt near perfect to me. I'd almost call the car nimble. I do still consider iDrive a bit of a headache, but it's getting a whole lot better with some stuff (climate for example) on separate controls. To the dude riding in the back on his mobile doing mega deals it probably is -- in some parts of the world it's arguably better than a Lear both in terms of efficiency and of course price. Personally, I'd love one in white. DIGITAL EDITOR ANDREW STOY: It was particularly interesting coming off the Beijing media drive of the Bentley Flying Spur -- a 600-plus-hp twin-turbo 12-cylinder itself -- and into the BMW 760Li. After all, the Rolls-Royce Ghost, a Flying Spur... I thought the Flying Spur was refined in its power delivery, but stomping the pedal on the big Bimmer offers the incongruous pairing of.
