The TTV12 doesn't exist as of now, and re-EPA certifying an engine that has since gone out of production would be a nightmare.

Also, they already have this engine in production (pretty much), so it's just a matter of adapting it to the G12 chassis/engine and shipping it.
So BMW isn't coming out with a 760? For the new 7er?
