The door sills, headrests and iDrive controllers are all specially badged with “V-12 25 Years Edition”. Also included with this special edition flagship model are:
The 760Li, with its 6.0-liter Twin Turbo V12, remains the pinnacle in the BMW 7 Series line up boasting 535 horsepower, 550 lb. ft of torque catapulting the big Sports Sedan from 0-60 mph in just 4.5 seconds and a limited top speed of 130 mph (155 mph with the M Sport Package option). |

Why The normal 760li is limited to 130?? I think it is not true because I went 254km/h (155mph) with my 740li with out M-Sport pack
And 254km/h (155mph) with my 760li 2010 with the M-Sport package |

US Models get limited as ROW does not but if we select the Sports Pkg(Defunct) or the M Packet we get it to 155 mph.
Correct me if I'm wrong

LOL @ all the badging/branding with all of BMW's special/limited editions. The V-12 branding is horrible in such a good looking car.

hooooold on, why the V12 still makes 535 bhp while the V8 from the M5 makes 560 bhp? i think its time for BMW to work on their V12. you should get ATLEAST 700 bhp.

Here's a secret for everyone complaining about this car. BMW does occasionally 'sell out' and make poor performing cars with lots of badges and sells them at a premium. For reference, see the new M performance models, 335is, M3 Lime Rock, and any M sport model ever. I am sure there are more. Regardless, anyone here that says they wouldn't do the same if they were in the car business is full of shit. These are your margin cars that let you do more interesting things.
