xDrive for the 760
Will xDrive be available in 2011 for the 760? I've heard conflicting reports. Currently, the MY2010 configurator on bmwusa.com still doesn't have xDrive or the 760 available.
Does anyone know if xDrive is available on the 760 in Europe? |

Thanks for that info, even though it's kind of disheartening. It seems like it'd make sense to offer a vehicle like the 760li with AWD to help put all that power down to the pavement..

I would love to see a 760Li xDrive version. I would definitely go and get that one. I prefer AWD over RWD cars.

I suspect BMW thinks people would prefer Integral Active Steering over xDrive on the 760.

I just wish they could integrate both technologies into the 760Li. Would be nice to have IAS and xDrive

- 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)!

My understanding is it will never be available. Benz and BMW never make their top end models 4wd.
The 750xi will be the most powerful you can get. |

It doesn't mean that they won't eventually offer one... Until the 2010 model year, there has never been a 7 series xDrive before either! So again, anything is possible and I sure hope that one day they will offer the 760 in a xDrive version!
