The V12 BMW M760i is Smooth, Speedy, and Stealthy - but the S63 is More Luxurious (In-Depth Review)

The V12 is dying. We've kept it alive with forced induction and hybridization, but even these measures won't save the thirstiest of internal combustion engines from its doom. On its way out, however, the twelve-cylinder is performing at its best. Only hydrogen and electric powertrains are smoother, and only ultra boosted motors are more potent. For these reasons, the V12 has been a natural fit for full-size luxury sedans like the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
The BMW M760i is among the most subtle $160K vehicles on sale. Loaded with premium materials and boasting over 600 horsepower, the flagship Bimmer is no flashier than a standard 7 Series. Sure, it appears out of reach for the average Joe (like any car in this segment), but just how out of reach is a mystery. For the overworked or over-socialized owner, these covert attributes are immensely appealing - as either a driver or a chauffeured passenger.
But when you're spending close to $200,000 with options, even a silky, robust V12 must be complemented by exclusive amenities. When V8-powered contenders like the Mercedes-AMG S63 and Audi S8 tout comfort, tech, and style at a more reasonable starting figure, the M760i is in for a fight. In this in-depth review, Miles explores the BMW M760i's performance, features, and design to decide which luxury sedan is best.

This car presents luxury

[@nombre1248]

I love how much flatter they made the front, makes it more stately

[@freshsoundssa588]

the color is just lovely

Dried prune??? The color is amazing and would be my choice. Black is just boring. This dark cherry red is so sophisticated and matches beautifuly with white interior.

The best option is self park the purchase for 12 months and get the massive factory option of depreciation and save 100k. ANDROID auto? Nice video very complete. Yes the S63 is way ahead...

I like that color old prune 👍

[@Matthieu260582]

it is very sad that BMW is not crazy anymore they should have implemented this V12 in a sport car like some kind of i8. That would have been a reminiscent of the BMW powered F1 Mc Laren.

[@topnews1007]

Did they ever upgraded the the lower bearings problems wearing out prematurely at around 40,000 to 60,000 miles and it's a very expensive repair.

How good can a review be if you know very little about the vehicle? Its a good idea to actually study up on a vehicle "before" you do it on camera. Foot rest, etc... A car this complex isnt one to "wing-it" with.

Dark brown would be nice.

[@zachhersh8791]

a car like this is made for constant highway to suburb use, daily driving these boats in crowded tight inner city neighbourhoods is very counterintuitive

[@rollydoucet8909]

I know what you're saying. I live in the country, and do most of my driving on highways. Going into the city often presents a challenge finding roomy parking spaces for my 535i, and that's not such a big car. Many SUV's are larger than that.

Great review! On the color, this one won't be my first choice but as the flagship. But I think not only is it nice to do something different but it's a crime to do a black or blue like any other “poverty” spec entry-level 7s on the road

[@MilesPerHr]

Thank you! I agree with you!
