I haven't noticed a single F01/02 V12 on the road and I only saw 1 or 2 E65 V12s. The E38 750i wasn't quite so rare but these V12s definitely seem to be dying out. With the power per liter of displacement that we're seeing in newer turbocharged engines, you would need 6 wheel drive to begin to put down the power you could make from a 6.0L V12.
Hell, those numbers listed from BMW V12s through the E38 were laughable. BMW's next iteration of 4 cylinder engines will put down more power.
