Meh, Hussein's exhausts on the E63 look WAY better![]()
Thank you very much BMW AG!!! I thought the V8 engine is going to die in the next decade, but with BMW on top of being efficient....LONG LIVE THE V12!!!!They could have given the car a little more exterior changes and a sports package should be offered. Like Mercedes are doing with S-class, a AMG kit. It turns to dull S-class into attractive car. I cant see any changes at all ,only the rear pipes.
MB boys are really making the S-class sound like its one of the seven wonder. Not for me, the new 7-series looks better than the S-class, no doubt, more elegant while the S-class has become a Christmas tree. I seriously cant understand the love S-class is getting here.
In all honesty the engine is very very good but its a brand new engine yet the S600 engine is more torque and as fast as this engine so not really anything great from bmw.
Why does the car need more torque than S-class?
Its not like BMW don't know how to give the 760i engine more power than a MB.
BMW obviously decided this engine is powerful and competitive enough.
Its Turbo engine so getting more power form this engine isn't going to be difficult. 544hp/750nm is more than enough.
To be honest I was expecting some innovation such as incorporated hybrid technology or slightly differently bars in the grill or more advanced head lights.

I personelly like cars that have a lot off torque that is why i at time prefer diesel cars its effortless acceleration.

PS: torque is limited due to the new 8-speed ZF gearbox compatible with automatic start&stop function.
Since it's limited, what are the clear benefits of 8 gears and what else the transmission does?

Extremely smooth, fast & efficient shifting. Also: being compatible with other stuff (AWD, auto stop&start, hybrid drive etc). It's quite multi-purpose gearbox. And therefore a bit compromised.
I'm also not sure xDrive system is capable of handling more than 750Nm of torque.
So ...![]()

On the 760 i i am not saying the engine is not good or worthy just i felt for a brand new engine compared to MB engine which is 4 years old i was expecting more ..
