BMW has launched a top-of-the-line version of its 7 Series sedan called the M 760Li and has priced it at Rs 2.2 crore (ex-showroom Delhi).

It is the largest and most expensive car that BMW makes and is their new flagship model for the Indian market. It is available in the standard and V12 Excellence variants, both of which are priced the same.

It is powered by M tuned twin-turbo 6.6-litre V12 engine producing 610bhp and a whopping 800Nm of torque. It is mated to an eight-speed sports steptronic transmission and BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system.  

This propels the luxurious beast from 0 to 100kmph in an impressive 3.7 seconds and then on to an electronically limited top-speed of 250kmph.  

From outside, this speedy barge gets M-spec alloy wheels, quad exhausts, sporty M-spec bumpers and unique M badges on the boot lid and near the front wheel wells that loudly proclaims its pedigree. The cabin is standard BMW 7 Series stuff and gets all the luxury touches like multi-zone climate control, leather seats, digital instrument cluster, iDrive infotainment system with gesture control and of course seat massagers all around. 

The closest competitor to the BMW M760Li xDrive is the Mercedes-Maybach S 600, which is priced at Rs 2.65 Crore (ex-showroom Delhi).
