It was inevitable. With the success of its innovative xDrive all-wheel drive technology in the 3 and 5 Series models, it was only a matter of time before BMW offered it on the 7 Series. That time has arrived.
BMW raised the ante for performance, luxury and style with the all-new 2010 750i and long-wheelbase 750Li models.

Sounds like that's a no-go for the time being, at least in 2010. But why do they talk about how performance-oriented it is if they won't put it on the V12? It's weird - they're doing that with the 760 like they do with the 550.
