Well that's one issue and some other points to consider are:

- The new 760 comes with a brand new 8 gear transmission. Its supposed to be the same size (if memory serves me right) but does it work with the existing xDrive system or would they have to build a new one to work with the new gear box?

- Can the current xDrive system handle the power the 6.0l TTV12 puts out?

- Space... The current 4.4l TTV8 already takes up almost the entire space under the hood, I can just imagine how crammed the TTV12 must be under the hood of the 760!!!

And I am sure there are a lot of other factors to consider... But still my wish list would would be to have a 760Li xDrive (preferably with IAS)!
