I speak from experience having owned the V12 E38 750iL when it first came out, and then the E66 745Li, 750Li and 760Li Individual!

The 745Li was no slouch and neither is your 2009 750Li.
However, the V12 engine is just a different feeling altogether, i mean if you have ever driven one, you would understand!
Its just an almost effortless surge of power that just seems limitless once you push the pedal there is no feeling like that from any V8, TT or supercharged!

I mean even the V8s and V10s in the M are tuned to be sporty and racing oriented,
but trust me once you are behind a V12 TT, then you will forget everything else

And please dont take the M statement in the wrong way, I drive an E93 M3 Cab and also the 760Li Individual, so I can tell from ownership experience between the V8s and V12s.

Also, from other brands I have had the newer Mercedes SL600 and SL55 AMG.

There was a big difference between these 2 cars, the SL55 is a nice machine, but once I flashed the ECU and TCU for my SL600 from renntech and got to 625bhp and 738lbft torque, the SL55 was history!

Anyways, I would really recommend you change your order if you can!
The few months longer wait will be worth it, trust me
Thanks. I am aware that there is a huge difference and I would change my order too. However my original order for a new car was placed back in May of last year! So I have been waiting for a good year now. My 750 is going into production in about 2 1/2 weeks. Then I still have to wait probably another 6 weeks give or take before I finally get my new car. That's an awful long time to wait!

I think I'm going to wait and see if BMW will release a 760 xDrive version. I know they will be releasing a 750 version for sure but I'm hoping for a 760 version, if that's the case, I'll trade my 750 in for a 760 xDrive.

Besides, they still have not announced when the 760 will actually be available. So it could be as short as 2 or 3 month but it could also still take another 6+ month. I would assume that because the 760 and 750 share most of the parts (except for the new engine, transmission and maybe a few other smaller parts), that the car would be available sooner rather than later.
