Easy, get the M760i xDrive and drop the '60i xDrive' badging

Exactly. That badging is weird....M7 is so much better

This new 7 interior design (I'm not talking about
quality, feel, tech, etc...) is so weak against the new S class (minus the clown steering wheel).

I respect the 7's interior. Not everyone is into the S-class's luxury theme. BMW presents a clean and classy alternative...very modern. S-class for me though!

They can't put enough 'V12' badging all over the car, I guess someone paid enough money want the world to see he's driving a V12

The interior design looks fantastic to me. No need to copy the S class.

V8 and V12 are in 2 different league

B7 won't be expensive, but judging from past 760Li, this M760 won't be cheap since the regular 760i will be available as well. Figure 170k+?

I love seeing execs from one company checking out the competition's new digs. Here you can see the mustache (MB's Dr. Z) checking out the M760i and chatting with a mixture of MB and BMW guys.

Hoovey, we have discussion on this model running in here and the G11 thread. Can we make this the official M760i thread (instead the word planning in the title) or just merge with the G11 thread?

If I'm not mistaken this is the G11 thread. Do you have a link to a second thread?

Are you being facetious? If so sorry, its hard to tell on the internet. Your Autoblog post was orginally in a separate thread named "BMW planning M760i." That has obviously since been rectified...

No no I was serious, wasn't sure if there was another thread I overlooked. As it stands I recall the 'BMW planning M760i' I just don't remember merging it (maybe I did or another mod did). I just checked this thread and it was merged though. It is on post #207 p.14. Looks like everything is in the appropriate thread. Good looking out
