More HP in 2020
I just discovered today that the 2020 750i xdrive not only has a bigger grill, but they squeezed out more HP in the engine too.
Anyone spent considerable enough time behind the wheel of a 2020 and an earlier model to tell whether its appreciable or more of a paper difference? |

Would be a pitty when you can't feel it.
Torque is up from 650Nm to 750Nm, which is 15% more over practically the entire rpm band. Power is up also 15% which seems a serious upgrade. This renders the M760i rather obsolete. |

You can make up the difference easily with a simple ECU tune. I did a ecu remap (tune) recently and it transformed the car specially in sport mode. Very very torquey V8

I know I’m comparing my 750i which is RWD with a new one which is 4WD only, but it’s also 15% heavier, so once up and running and past any traction issues it won’t feel any different.

I had a '17 until October '19 and a 2020 since. I drove the 17 mostly in adaptive mode and same for the 20. The 20 feels more lively and responsive and this is something I noticed immediately. Noticeably quicker off the line -- and I am not a jackrabbit at all. Also noticeably quicker to accelerate from speed while on highway. But of course I have no way to quantify now.
There is a way to reset the "learned" shift points. Ignition to accessory and then press gas pedal to floor for 1 minute. I believe this resets the learned shift points to whatever the default is. After that the car will "relearn" -- and there are some who say this is bogus. But it also can't do any harm to try.

AWD adds about 4% in weight. But indeed, when you'd upgrade to 2020 because it would mean a world in difference, that will most certainly not be the case.

You should feel it, there is .3 second difference between pre-LCI and LCI from 0-100 kilometres. According to BMW 0-100 in LCI is 4 seconds flat vs 4.3 seconds on our cars!

Prior to the M760Li I had 750Li 2016. I have to say the upgrade was worth it, more than I thought it would be.

The M760i was also an assertion of superior and refined power. I presume with the improved V8 the delta has become too small to maintain the 760. I guess BMW already communicated that they will discontinue this engine? |

I could feel it going from a 2019 750 to a 2020 750 loaner they were both xdrive.
I am going to tune mine.
