I agree that the instrument cluster should be white for the ///M versions of every series, and the red/orange for everything else.
I understand that this is the "flagship" of BMW, but the red/orange should be there. Just my opinion.

...and considering that BMW always under-rates their engines, this may be pulling S65 numbers for sub S600 price...

For the first time on a BMW the instrument cluster comprises a high-resolution colour display with Black Panel technology. This new style of display makes for greater character clarity and, when not in use, forms a smooth, homogenous black surface that gives the interior an added level of modern elegance. In other words the cluster produces a bright white readout during the day for visibility, and then turns to a soft orange glow at night. This technology can also be found in the modern Merc S-Class and other Japanse counterparts. Nightime pic below. This is one the most elegant well designed interiors I've laid eyes on! Check this web site- click the 7 series multimedia highlights, then watch the "on the road" video. It a great visual!! http://www.bmw.com/com/en/index.html

It looks absolutely stunning. From what I can tell so far, the only change they applied to the 760 instrument cluster over the 750 is that the bottom of the two chrome rings show up in blue rather than white (to simulate the chrome).

Another interesting fact is that the 760i and 760Li are listed with the same acceleration time. The 750i on the other hand is 0.1 second faster than the 750Li. Weight for the 760i is only 70kg less than the 760Li!

I think if anybody would go and tweak that engine a LOT higher, they better beef up the cooling along with it or see all those pretty plastic pieces melt right out from under the hood! Maybe another 100+ hp, but going from 544hp to 900+ hp??? Warranty and reliability is out the window and heat is building up faster than you can cook eggs on your stove

I wonder when this car will actually become available (will start shipping from the factory)?
My wife just asked me... If I like the 760 better? Well DOH... what a question. She told me I should change my order. I would, but I don't want to wait yet another couple more month!
