looks OK.... but to me already completely outdated and beaten by M6 grancoupe style... the only pattern i would prefer this is to be a passenger seating on that lounge backseat.

Yeah V12s are cool, I agree of course, but the tech seems a bit outdated. I mean, a 6.6 liter V12 which probably wont push more than 560 hp. A twin turbo V12 at that. I know its like a luxury option for the 7 series, but it is also the highest performance you can get in the 7 series.

The only was I can find this e design acceptable is in that M sport package with 20 inch wheels.Still can't digest the design of the headlights and the taillights.Absolutely disgusting on a 100K + car.I was waiting for this as my lease expires in 12 months.I have to look to other brands now.

Usually the difference will be in the number of turbos. RR usually gets 4, BMW gets 2. |

Just because you can extract that power doesn't mean it is good. There are NA V12s which would achieve that hp/litre level (Ferrari V12). The layout seems very conventional 60degree V12 with the turbos hanging off the side. I would also bet that the engine is very heavy and consumes a lot of fuel, not that the latter matters so much. I cant check right now, but I can also bet that the engine doesnt feature the newest technologies BMW has in valve control such as variable valve timing or so. And did you just say that RR gets 4 turbos? 4 turbos? Where did you get that information from?
