One of the heavier BMW's, yet the fastest accelerating one..

If they could just make the front end look like an f8x I'd probably buy one.

Nope and there is some old info in those. Power was upped to 610 and the 0-100km/h lowered to 3.6sec.
I've seen 0-100km/h in 3.42sec instrumented, though launch control was not used. That should shave just a smidge more off. Oh and it's almost 100lbs lighter than the B7...go figure. |

Here's a Canadian review as well (English and Chinese):

To me that engine sounds like a cross between the M2 and S65 AMG:
I suppose it must be that they put the mic somewhere close to the exhaust, otherwise I can't image the car being so loud in the normal driving conditions. |

Amazing car according to all the reviews, but I wish it looked more agressive... Like an M7
I did a quick M7 render a while ago that looked like the below... (original M760, M7 and animated gif showing changes)

Wish they would put that v12 in the next M5 and help shake up the segment a bit. Bet it could do much better than the 601 hp that it presently does in the 760i.

That's the steepest (about 1200' vertical) and shortest (just under 1/2mi) uphill switchback section of the road and there is a 500k lb boulder very close to the road edge on the right and protrudes out a little about 8' over ones roof? Often there is a motorcycle overlooking it in the opposite direction too. |
