2018 BMW M760i vs Porsche Panamera Turbo Comparison | Which Luxury Winter Beater Wins?

Here we have two of the most glorious cruise beasts out there, the Porsche Panamera Turbo and a BMW M760i, two big engined and super luxurious executive sedans that make you feel like a boss. If you have a supercar and put it away for the winter and are looking for a “winter beater” that’s not an SUV, these are both very compelling.

It might not seem like an apples to apples comparison, but as tested, these big sedans match up pretty closely in price in the $170K neighborhood, and despite them being totally different cars with totally different engines, it’s not crazy to think that people would cross-shop them. But after driving them back to back, we did realize that they’re aimed at two very different buyers.

She said that the BMW was "a bit too extra" while at the same time wearing a squirrel on her head.

The panamera just looks sooo good...

[@TheBorikua187]

Great review!!! 👌🏻👍🏻

[@jeffbrigatee9368]

The way you held that shift knob . YEEEAAH

[@denisleblanc4506]

If you're evaluating "winter beaters" you should drive them in a few inches of snow and on glare ice to see which one handles real winter conditions better. I realize it would mostly depend on the tires, but I'm curious how the stability controls handles these conditions with rear wheel steering. Does it make it worse, better or does it adapt to the conditions and speeds? That would have been nice to see.

[@waddyhirshy2989]

Denis LeBlanc completely different but could crash my x5 unless I tried in the show. Have crest continentals on it. Plows through deep snow too. Haven’t had an issue with the traction control systems in it.

[@WorldWide2017]

Such a joy to watch Jody review.

[@charlieryan1736]

So glad I found your channel just subscribed

[@hectorjdelossantos5120]

great video love your reviews very professional att Hector from Delaware.

[@rossipolak5611]

Why would you wanna review BMW vs Porsche?? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ Porsche vs lambo 👍🏼 BMW vs Merc 👍🏼 Two different classes!😂

[@itmustbelove08]

First I’ve ever heard of someone preferring less buttons and haptic feedback. Nice 👍🏽

[@DonaldSeymourjr]

I don't always agree with you, but I can truly tell that your critiques are genuine. On the BMW you hit the same controversial points I would hit without batting an eye. Kudos to you. Definitely enjoyed your take on both vehicles, very honest.

[@goodlife1500]

Great episode

[@FrankAutomotive]

Im taking the M760Li anytime. This car is so beautiful, Im looking at buying one this year.

[@UNOwen-eh8er]

Frank D Even the M550i's I've seen look & sound great, it should be here vs. Porsche V8.

[@nomad6-1]

Lucky you :) Do you have a driver or are you going to handle the beast by yourself?

[@FrankAutomotive]

Manufactured Goods Enthusiast I think I can do both. I mean I will not hire a driver because I really like to drive my cars but surely I will give it a try.

[@Mrjumperdude01]

when you can afford a $160,000+ you're not worried about the mpg.

[@nosleevefitness7604]

I watched a video and they said they didn’t make m for 7 series. Did they start doing m on the new one?

[@whoarie]

I really really love your reviews. Really.

[@southbeach09]

*I didn't know there was a difference between people and "real" people*

[@ankursharma8624]

I'd say the new M5 would've been a much better comparison to the Panamera Turbo. Of course the RS7 is for sure

[@versace_mel]

Bmw 7 series over the top? Massage and reclining seats is over the top? That’s all I needed to hear to know she doesn’t know what she’s talking about and know nothing about the history and owning bmw 7 series sedans.

[@supremeetnel7707]

Jamel Hudson that’s what saying 😂. She don’t know about luxury . If anything Mercedes is over the top. Imagine if she reviewed a RR .

[@UNOwen-eh8er]

Supreme Etnel Don't tell her about BMW Individual. Rolls Royce have a wait list for bespoke.

[@versace_mel]

She even said that the engine on this BMW was too strong and over the top. When have you ever in your life heard that an engine inside of a BMW was too strong and over the top?? That’s insane. I guess she would say the same thing for bmw M3 and M5.

[@kemaldzinic-meyer9647]

Exactly, she has no idea what's she talking about

[@mantlethelabradoodle9905]

BMW beats Porsche every day

[@1MrBryn]

Can we take a moment to salute Jodi's wardrobe choices?

[@azadr9231]

Good & fair review.

[@TheShahir362]

Should have tried Porsche Panamera Turbo Executive one

[@3204clivesinclair]

I know economy is something owners wouldn’t really care about in this class of car. But the Panamera Hybrid option is worth considering. Some cities charge for big motors and the better fuel economy and range help in a Grand Tourer

[@abdelalsweiti9872]

I’ve never seen anybody complain about having decking seats in the back

Honest and Ace review! Thumbs up anb subscribed!

[@Jacquelyndorindachic]

I Luv My BMW. I am getting the PANAMERA next

[@davidhall3747]

Zion Israel I've got the Panamera on our list of future acquisitions too. My baby girl talked me into acquiring one. Why not have the best of both worlds? It doesn't hurt.

[@Aurora_v_cali]

i love her reviews

[@chocolatewheelchair]

93Adamv23 no taste

[@ski808]

Jodi what about the rear passenger area of the Panamera? Enough gimmicks to play with? Cramped or voluminous?

[@ottototo8]

Wow. Great use of words like like and really and so... Really glad she took time away from her blog to so review these machines...like.

[@ioands]

This review is like those budget car practicality reviews. Those who buy these they for sure are not buying them for how practical the boot is or how much of a sports car they are. If they need a sports car they will get a proper sports car.

[@paperpro6102]

if you can afford a 170k panamera and you want a sports car why not buy a nice preowned GT3.

[@geraltofrivian516]

Porsche for sure is the winner. Love everything about it. Especially the wagon version

[@mrchongyl]

Andrew the Panamera shooting brake is gorgeous.

[@UNOwen-eh8er]

CandyMan BMW>VAG

[@geraltofrivian516]

Haha, whatever man. I will admit Rolls Royce>Bentley, but the rest of BMW's brands don't measure up to what VAG offers.

[@UNOwen-eh8er]

CandyMan I wouldn't give VAG a nickel. Since they sell 4X BMW's volume I would never compare them. Curious to see what BMW's 1st fwd. hatch will be like, Golf bores me. Friend's original Rabbit was fun to drive.

[@g.g4816]

This presenter's personality is off the wall funny - lol, especially 2:30 - 2:52. Subscribed

[@PunxsutawneyDave]

Dictator? Gang-boss? Run for your life dudes, Jodi is obviously contemplating becoming an evil overlord.

[@BREEZEONE1]

Put me down for the M760i. Now they need one as a pick up truck.

[@OMGz1122]

Would love it if you guys can also have a three way fight with the addition of the Mercedes s63amg

[@lazarusjoyner3768]

The more comparable car for BMW would be the Alpina B6. It's fir the DRIVER which if autoguide was educated enough, would of known. I would still take the m760. Driven it and was spectacular to drive. And the rear entertainment is just a plus.

[@mikealanzo]

Nice review........ a bit nag tho.... but good.... Nice cars, love the V12, but I'm surprised that it "only" puts out 590pft, while my 13 year old S65 AMG V12 with 10 more hp and 0.6L less engine volume than the BMW puts out 738pft.... that's almost 150pft diff.... anyway.... I love it... The Porsche on the other hand, well.... it's more sports than luxury, and more "in your face" than the more subtle BMW... the Porsche screams for attention, while the BMW (or the S65) kinda says it all.

[@Highlander_142]

you have a w220 65? that is impressive! it is very, very hard to find one, especially in a good condition... they're so much rare. regards

[@mikealanzo]

Thank you! :) I live in Sweden, and there are five S65's listed in the entire country, and I'm the only one owning the W220 model :) Feel free to check it out on FB page AMG of Sweden. Regards.

[@Highlander_142]

not at all! speaking about w220 S65, currently, there is only one car for sale in the whole of europe (according to autoscout)... newer generations are also rare with a v12. i'll gladly check it out, thanks for the info... :) regards

[@dannyz955]

The S65's engine has more boost pressure and is undersquared, hence the monstrous torque.

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Great presenter and very good channel. This woman is excellent as a presenter.

[@ErwinSchrodinger64]

Porsche beating BMW at their own game. As an everyday person, thank you, I will go purchase the Panamera today, along with a Cayman.

[@UNOwen-eh8er]

jaguarjaonzz Doesn't the 7 have more in common with a Rolls? If you want a V12 in the VAG you'll have to wait for a Bentley. Not even then, wtf is a W12? 2 VW 6's?

[@dininjaronin2002]

not really the bmw is much more refined in terms of driving experience///

[@Named50]

DININJA RONIN nigga what? We are talking about a Porsche which is king of driving experience

[@UNOwen-eh8er]

chris colmenares Panamera started on VW SUV platform. VAG is king of sh*t.

[@almac9203]

The Panamera is not built on a VW SUV platform. The platform is only shared with the Bentley GT. You are a BMW fanboy and not even a good one.

[@frylochenn]

Why would you say "over the top"?? If so, get a lower trim or base model... Geesshh

[@thebionicpig]

Her pitch reminded me of the airline stewardess giving you the safety instructions before takeoff.....up and finish the sentence down...

[@davidhall3747]

I like our BMW 760i- but why not have the best of both worlds- and aquire the Panamera too?

[@lwilkerson4630]

I love the review...I will go with the Porsche!!!!!

[@aaron10tiger71]

Porsche🔥🔥🔥

[@chili_d]

is the shifter that big or do you have tiny hands? =P

[@drnprive]

BMW

[@skyline5812]

I had 2 BMWs. Recently bought a Porsche, different feeling once you sit behind the wheel. You have to go with BMW M or AMG Benz to have a comparison. Porsche is a different class and feeling =)

[@whosdondada]

Listening to A Boogie with the Hoodie lol

[@surakah5975]

I'll go for the Porsche anytime..

[@mantlethelabradoodle9905]

You should’ve let us listen to da V12

[@makichsimonyan4614]

Nothing is enough. BMW M760i is the best car ever what are you talking about.

[@mrhakz330]

Compare the M5 to the panamera. M760i is in a completely different class

[@dininjaronin2002]

i believe so too

[@pucka_ak47]

No it's not a different class, but I don't think that the M5 V8 4.4L 600 hp is a much more powerful than this V12 6.6L 600 hp beast maybe would be just an half a second quicker from 0-60/0-100 but that's only because this monster is heavy almost 2.5 tons...

[@111mmgg]

that bm is so bawwse

[@mahendrakishnani3424]

Why did you have to compare those two at the first place? They belong to totally different classes of car-ownership. One is for the business/executive guy and the other for the young-at-heart guy who digs brand-value and sportiness at the same time. my personal fav. would be the Panamera too.

[@jeromep3182]

She just said that they are aimed at different people which explains why bmw took the approach they did that bmw was not designed from bmw to complete with the porcsche as much as it was designed to compete with the Mercedes Benz S65. BMW’s have always been tech driven cars it’s in their DNA. I would choose the bmw over that station wagon Porsche

[@libertywalk0757]

I will take the Panamera anytime any season and etc.

[@matthewgrayson8]

True.

[@martinorobinson5017]

I don't need a car to feel like a BOSS.

[@smokescreenFromThe6ix]

One thing I love about Porsche over anything is that they don't huge ugly grills like most new cars! Can't wait until 2026 which is when I'll be able to afford these cars!!!

[@DIORGUILTY]

almost there!

[@SpiderBoyJohn]

Porsche requires us takes ur eyes off the road to do anythung... wish they would return to driver focus while driving.

[@farouqlule5418]

James Shuster I think you are talking about the screen, but honestly, you were gonna take your eyes off the road either way. Plus all those stuck on screen, from mazda, bmw and others, they look weirder the older the car gets. 20 years from now the Porsche will be fine wine, and the bmw will be an unaffordable fixer-upper with a long abandoned style where as Porsche has shown design integrity and dedication to design evolution

[@UNOwen-eh8er]

Farouq Lule Selling rebadged VAG sedans & SUVs at an inflated price is not fine or wine. Integrity? Hah! Are you a corporate shill? Apparently they're not going to coupe this platform @ Porsche because it would cannibalize the upcoming Continental, yet another inflated rebadge.

[@mrphotomanTIM]

complains that a high end luxury car has too much luxury? make sense

[@kevin-qc7zv]

The day that 7 series tech breaks down, the maintenance cost could probably buy you a new compact sedan. The key replacement alone is probably around 1500

[@mrchongyl]

upload2014 The key is quite laggy (I tried the 5-series one last time) I hope that they improve the SoC so that the UI can be smoother. It's a gimmick, it lets you look cool. That's the purpose 😂

[@azalru]

The Tesla M3 Ui is smartphone fast and is the fastest automotive screen on the market. Also the key is your smartphone which is more advanced and convenient than a keychain full of stuff.

[@HandsomeJackHere]

And what if your phone dies?

[@azalru]

Being Charlie Sheen Your other pocket has your wallet with the valet card that opens the car to charge your phone on the dock.

[@HandsomeJackHere]

azalru So do you have to have your phone on you and charged to actually drive it, if not then I'm down with it, using your phone is obviously the more convenient way most of the time, but you can't rely on it solely, say you were at the beach and the thing just drowned

[@welthermarmol8752]

How is the Porsche down by 3 screens when they have the option for the rear entertainment screens?Should of got the one with the options.

[@a.k1311]

I would put the M6 grand coupe next to the panamera...

[@saisuchirtyada330]

It's good to see a woman who is actually interested in cars

[@hritikghatge]

M760Li is a luxurious beast

[@kaibaumgartner7721]

Which one sounds better straight piped? Also in 5 yrs, they’ll depreciate to the value of a Honda Accord

[@royaltylw5347]

It’s just like rolls and Bentley, Cruiser and Driver

[@murdamuzik4128]

2 different Levels of cars one Is a Sedan and the other is a business clas Lemo not a fair comparison only in price

[@twoweeledsoto6072]

Mmm, $100,000 beater? No can do!!

Love the outfit Jodi.

[@Mabsusa1]

This is the opposite of apple's to apple's comparison lol

[@deet4895]

I'm the type of guy to ignore both of these and get me a 2018 Lexus LS500 instead.

[@YoungDen]

I wanna know what PETA has to say about her review

[@mycoolgameingchanneld6606]

Your review is not only a disservice to both BMW and Porsche, but most importantly your viewers. (I’m not a BMW guy). The BMW M760LI - is a Long Wheel base vehicle. The Porsche Turbo has a much smaller interior. Of course it will handle better (cornering) and I would bet be better in the snow, generally speaking. However, the V12 engine is worth its wait in gold. For the weight and size of the vehicle it truly is an impressive monster, significantly outperforming the Turbo 0- 60, 3.7S vs 4.3S.. This car was made to compete against the S AMG along with a lacklustre S8.

[@bbokdoong]

New M5 vs Panamera would be more interesting....

[@UNOwen-eh8er]

Sangmin Lee New M5 solo.

[@nvunvu8930]

Panamera Rivals are BMW 6 Series ,Mercedes CLS , Audi A7.

[@LordStaind]

Does it come with bulletproof glass and self-inflatable tires though?

[@UNOwen-eh8er]

Lord Staind Runflats.

[@DonLee1980]

the lack of luxrious back seats in the porsche make it compare much closer to the M5.. which is half the price of the Porsche and will beat it in many porformance category.

[@DonLee1980]

No, what I'm saying the Porsche has nothing in the back. The BMW here has WAY more room, luxurious seats and anemeties, which of course sacrafices a lot of driving dynamics. Hence, a BMW M5 would be a much better match, which costs $102k USD.

[@DonLee1980]

obviously. The base M5 is barely half the price.

[@emilaga4482]

V12 FOR ME

[@nobunaga-oda]

Emil Aga 😐

[@petergarbe2459]

Nein einen Esel !!!!

[@hockeymann88]

Well things have changed. There is an Audi RS6 Avant in the mix now.

[@swanblake]

Serious question. In the Panamera do those LCD touch panels function in sub zero tempatures. Meaning you car is outside at work all day. You go out to start it, its -10°F out, do they respond right away or do they do the usual LCD lag that can't refresh fast enough until it warms up? Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about

[@AutoGuide]

We drove it (and filmed this review) in sub zero temps and it was fine the whole time.

[@swanblake]

AutoGuide.com oh okay. I just had a water bottle explode in my car when I got in it. Wanted to make sure we are in the same conditions.

[@UNOwen-eh8er]

[@mctran41]

[@supremeetnel7707]

Dan Cowan yet it’s one of the Best 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@UNOwen-eh8er]

[@barrymafiztna55]

The 7 is pretty much a half priced Rolls with a lot of the same options since they’re made by the same people

[@bernardcross5580]

Maybe some of us want over the top

[@KUROSHURA]

Panda era is an executive jet

[@arshia1698]

There's nothing "over the top" about cars specially in this class. Tasteless.

[@BADBoyYaadie]

Let me start by saying I dig the term "Glorious Cruise Beasts." Wanna put that on a t-shirt. Beyond that, were you not able to get the Panamera 4 Executive, or were you trying to get a spec'd up BMW match the Porsche's acceleration, since that was the only comparable metric (outside of price) actually discussed? And unless my eyes are tricking me, you tested a BMW M760Li, not an M760i. I'm struggling to get the actual reason behind the comparison, here. I guess you did say it's not an apples to apples test, of totally different cars, aimed at different buyers.

[@firefox39693]

It's just an 8 speed auto-box. It's not a PDK.

[@YUUOKMTV]

素晴らしい

[@supremeetnel7707]

The BMW is over the top? How. Bmw had a bland interior before, so they amped it up now it’s too much? This is their flagship Sedan 😂🤦🏽‍♂️ Porsche had a ton of bottoms now they toned it down and that’s better?

[@saquibmukhtar6505]

Supreme Etnel this woman has no clue

[@shalurattan3235]

I have two cars bmw and Mercedes I don't know who is better please give video

[@P1an0Freak]

Tasteless review

[@dushyantx]

what determines taste? definitely not you.

[@GeethmaAthukorala]

P1an0Freak What do you mean?

[@P1an0Freak]

Compared to the kind of content that this team puts out; this video feels kind of forced. There is no enthusiasm. Although Me and my opinion are completely irrelevant, I’m still allowed to voice it.

[@GeethmaAthukorala]

P1an0Freak Huh.. Okay then

[@ro9158]

Totally agree with you....I don't even see the comparison between these two vehicles!! Completely different.

[@runnergy]

Was that even the executive Panamera? If so yes this a good comparison. 5 series, really? This is an executive sports car comparison. 12 cylinders? What is this 2005? Okay video, I was expecting more about the executive features and ride experience.

[@Noposwowskis]

Prefer you over the lisp guy, nothing against him or his lisp but this is more comfortable to listen to and watch.

[@jetthe860]

Not sure any serious buyers would take this review seriously.

[@longnguyen6836]

Should have compared the 750 against the panamera executive version Then you can see why Porsche is even better

[@gadgetdealz]

Why compare an executive limo vs a drivers sports car?

[@davidhall3747]

She said the BMW 760 is not a sports car. So you're right- why compare a sports car to a luxury sedan?

[@meditatewithme6254]

Try panamera executive

[@directreply350]

The writing on this one caused me to end it prematurely. I didn't even make it to the Porsche. "extra, boss.."? Honestly

[@H3R1_Kota_K]

#1 Panamera

[@danielstanciu1691]

Am I the only one who thinks this is not the right BMW model to be compared to Panamera?! I think the 4-door 6 series is the one for a proper comparison with Panamera.
