BMW of all time, of course, is complete. There are many interesting features and interesting quirks and today I will show you a small overview first. BMW has n

ever

made an m7 with the full m treatment from their performance division, like the m3 and m5 I guess. I guess it's too big and luxurious to become an m car, but in recent years they've lent the m badge to other models, the m240 and the m550 for example, to create a sort of mid-m car and that's exactly what have done here. with the m 760.

I borrowed this BMW m760 from Devon here in the suburbs of Philadelphia, the number one BMW dealer in Pennsylvania, they have a large inventory of new BMWs that include this car well and yes it has a sticker price of 180 000 or one hundred and eighty-one thousand and seventy-five dollars to be exact, like the old high-end seven series models, this car still has a v12, it is a 6.6-liter twin-turbo v12 with 601 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque and also like the top-of-the-line 7 series. Models from the past have a lot more to it than that, so today I'm going to show you the M-760 and show you all of its cool features and cool quirks.

There are many of them. I'll get behind the wheel and see how it drives and then I'll give it an excellent rating and for more of my thoughts click the link below to visit autotrader.com oversteer now this car has a lot of really cool features. and quirks, but by far the best has to do with the key. First, take a look at the size of the key, it is just a little smaller than a cell phone and the reason is that this car key has a screen on it. I'm serious and if you check the little items on the screen you can see a couple of different things, for example you can see if the car is locked and you can see if you left the lights on, also tell you if you need to do an oil change or tell you how much range is left in your gas tank, which is a great idea because you may not want to start the car and see if you need to get gas.

It simply checks your key and tells you the range. The key also allows you to set a time to precondition the interior. Basically, you choose a time using your car key and it will start venting air throughout the interior before you get inside. maybe to go to work in the morning, but none of that is the craziest thing about the key, the craziest thing comes now, look at the key and you will see the familiar buttons that open the doors, the BMW logo is the lock button , open the in the trunk and then there is a button marked p, so what exactly does p do?

This is the craziest feature in the automotive industry right now. If you hold p it gives you the option to start the engine, then you press engine start and now. the car has started, you can hear it fine, so you can start the engine with the key, that's nothing, many cars can do that, but not many cars can do this, then press the little arrows that appear and look at this, the car. it moves by itself there is no one in the car it moves by itself forward out of the parking spot it was in now look at this you want to stop it you want to go the other direction the car moves backwards again that has to be one of the best things now you're thinking this is stupid why would anyone want to do this right?

The theory is that if you live in a cramped building, you're in New York City, Hong Kong, or Singapore and you don't want to go. to the problem of trying to get in the side of your car

ever

y morning when you get in, you just turn it on with the key and then use the key to basically walk your car like you're walking your pet now using that. parking key system, you can't actually turn the wheels, you can only get it out of a tight parking spot to get in, you can't have it all, although you can have a lot, another interesting element in this car when you get in is called gesture control you are Tired of using buttons Aren't you tired of pressing things properly in this car? you don't have to press everything you're driving down the road you want to turn up the volume just do this and the volume goes up you can see it happen you're driving down the road you get a call you don't want to answer just do this and the call goes away the car has these sensors on this region right here and it can say what your gestures are and then it responds in the same way now obviously you can't do this for everything it's limited to just a few functions there's even a customizable gesture you point two fingers at the infotainment and you do something like that and you can set it to a lot of different controls if there's something you use frequently that you don't want to adjust using a simple old school button, but if you think gesture control is cool, take a look a look at the camera system now with all the other bells and whistles. car you put it in reverse you get a backup camera and maybe a top down 360 camera and that's cool this car takes things to the next level when the 360 ​​camera is up you touch the screen and then look in this angle, it shows the car from the outside as if there was a camera following you, then you can use the gesture control system to move that camera as if you were getting a 360-degree view on the outside of the car.

It does this by joining all types of different cameras. angles together from multiple cameras on the outside of the car and shows a legitimately good picture of what's outside the car, including the car inside, it's like a video game screen, except it's real life. I have never seen anything like this in any other car, this is the future of car cameras of course there are a couple of other cool things about the cameras when you are parked the camera system shows where the doors will open as well that if you're worried about your door hitting something the camera system will show you that 360 degree angle on the outside of the camera it also shows green yellow red about how close it is to something but despite all that my element favorite camera mode is yet to come and that would be the car wash mode.

You can select a mode within the infotainment system to basically show you where your front wheels are in case you want to take your 180,000 m760 to one of those automatic car washes so you can line it up perfectly with the track and then you can get in the wash In cars, this is the craziest camera system I've ever seen in any car. Now for the next crazy feature of this car, we move on to the back seat. Now you look at the back seat and think it's a pretty standard back seat. true, but not quite, you drop this thing and the

most

complicated and craziest rear seat controls I've ever seen unfold, we'll start in the middle, there's a tablet here and it's not just a screen, I mean, it's a tablet.

Push and eject and a little mechanism lifts the tablet forward so you can pull it out and once you pull it out properly, first of the little plastic piece for that mechanism that lifted it, it lowers back into place, but beyond that , then you can control basically everything in this car from this tablet. My favorite tablet feature is under the sun protection icon and that's where you can control all the things that protect you from the sun, for example, press a little button on the side of the window and it closes automatically. the sunshades in the window or you can press close all and all the sunshades close on both doors and the rear sunshade also closes instantly to give you the most sun protection possible.

Now here's the crazy thing about this, there are physical buttons. On the doors themselves they do this, you press a little button on the door, the sun visor closes or you can just use your tablet and with that in mind we move on to the rear climate controls. You can use the tablet to control the climate controls you want. you can change the air temperature, you can change the amount of air it comes out of, or you can just use the physical buttons in the back seat to do the exact same thing. Are you noticing a pattern here?

Let's move on to the seats, perhaps the craziest thing. if you want you can use the tablet to move the seats look at this, you get into the seats and then you just run your finger on the back of the seat and the back moves forward, you run your finger on the bottom and the bottom moves forward go ahead or you can just press the physical controls right next to where the tablet comes out and it does the exact same thing, but why would you want to press the physical controls and reach your hand up there when you can use the tablet of course?

The tablet also turns on the heated and ventilated seats and not only heats or cools you can also choose exactly which seat you are heating or cooling, how much and where there is also a massage function where you can program the seat to choose between different massage intensities at four different parts of the body. Also fun are the memory settings that even let you control your favorite front passenger seat position even though you're the rear passenger, but that on the tablet is child's play compared to the other things you can do, take a look at this, see these two screens behind the front seats, yes, they are not for watching movies, you can use the tablet to control the navigation map that appears on those screens, those screens are not touch, but you can use the tablet to move the finger like a phone and then click on things and it will click on those screens as if you were actually touching them, basically you can even use the tablet that is in this seat to control the screen in that seat and vice versa and we are not done yet , how about vitality mode?

BMW's Vitality program is perhaps the craziest luxury car feature out there. It's designed to give you exercise on long trips and keep you relaxed. In fact, read this screen. It starts by saying that the vitality program invigorates your body and then says that you can earn three stars by keeping the bar within the target area. It's an exercise game that you can play with your car while riding in the back seat. The way it works is the seat pushes. on your muscles and you're supposed to push back, which is designed to help keep you fit and allow you to exercise on long car trips.

I'm serious, but who needs vitality mode when you can control the fragrance? Yes, that's right, your BMW. m760 can emit a fragrance and using your tablet here you can choose which is the blue suite number one described as a pearl breath of pure water or the sweet golden number two described as the dusk of a glittering desert and when you select a fragrance, will be ordered. Or blow that fragrance through the vents to add a scent to your m760 while you're driving in the backseat and check this out, you can even adjust the fragrance level, do you want more darkness of the shimmering desert?

Okay, turn it. above, do you want less darkness of the shining desert? No problem, turn it down and then the darkness goes away a little bit. Now if you are a back seat passenger you also have the ability to change the lighting and I don't just mean turning the map light on and off or the interior dome light, I mean you can use your little tablet to change the colors lighting throughout the car. If you want, blue and white, you want blue and blue, green and white, green and green, purple, white, whatever you want. you can change it back here and then all the interior lighting colors change and you can change the brightness if you want those lights to be completely off you can do it if you want them slightly on you can do that too and you can do it from your tablet it also has the ability from your tablet to turn on a kind of ambient light that is inside the door, there is no switch on the door to turn on this light, you just turn it on from your tablet and then it turns dim.

To make it a little less dark now, aside from all the crazy quirks of that tablet, I'm already in the back seat, so I might as well discuss a couple of other cool back seat features, starting with the rear headrests, now these They are not just standard. The headrests are very soft but can also be adjusted to fit the contour of the back of your head, so if you want to sleep you can simply rotate them to fit the back of your head and then you can sleep as if headrests on a airplane, another cool feature in the back seat would be the panoramic lounge which, of course, is a feature that this car has basically, a thousand LEDs inside the sunroof, the front and rear panoramic sunroof, and when you're driving. at night you open the sunroof they light up to give you the panoramic sky and you can change the color of those LEDs so if you want your sky to look purple you can do that when you look up and see starspurples on the roof of your BMW, then move on to the outside of the car and the trunk and the trunk is not particularly unusual, it is large, but of course it is, this is a large car, there are a couple of interesting quirks in the trunk, however, one of that is, if you look at the base of the rear window, look very closely and you will see that it is not just a piece of plastic trim, but it is lined with this little velvet material that is to prevent make the trunk make noise and make the car a little smaller.

A little quieter, that's the kind of thing you get when you spend 180,000 on a luxury sedan. It's impressive attention to detail. Something more when you spend this money on a luxury sedan. Take a look inside that bag in the trunk and you'll see. find pillows, these are not just any pillows, these have little clips and they clip onto the rear headrests that I showed you earlier. You can clip them on and then you can improve the comfort of your back seat experience. While you are sitting there changing the interior color of your tablet, then move towards the front of the M760, look closely here and you can see that the grill is closed, that's because BMW keeps the grille on this car closed. normal situations to improve aerodynamics and therefore gas mileage;

However, if the car needs additional air, such as if it is idling for a while or if you hit the ground and need to draw in a lot of air for the engine, the grill can open automatically to give the engine the air it needs and then when It no longer needs air, it can be closed again and then we move on to the badge on the c-pillar. Now there are only a few ways you can tell normal air. 7 and the m760, but my favorite way is that the badge subtly says v12, might as well say I'm richer than you.

Another interesting badge on the outside of the car is here, otherwise it is only visible when the doors are open. it's hidden in the B pillar under the doors it says in a carbon core basically what that means is that the chassis of this car has some carbon infused to make it a little lighter and a little tighter of course no one who have one of these have any idea what that means carbon core. The salesperson should probably tell them and they forget about it the next week. However, the badge is there and this is something BMW is proud of next.

The car looks at this when you approach the car at night, it gives you these lights on the road that come out from the bottom of the car, they're kind of fluid and cool and talking about those little lines that light up on the pavement as you drive by. you approach. At night, in its 7 series, that same line design is carried over to the interior lights on the roof of the 760, next to the rearview mirror, to give it a more luxurious look than the typical interior light of a car, among others. There are interesting interior quirks that I like, one of which is the climate controls, which appear to have normal buttons to increase airflow or turn on the heated and cooled seats, but is actually a screen that is designed to look like to buttons that are pressed and then It does exactly what it shows it will do, but it's not a button, in fact it's a screen and one of the items on that screen is the little perfume bottle, like on the rear tablet.

You press that and you can increase or decrease. The fragrance level inside your N760 is perhaps more interesting than that, it looks a little higher and you can see the little climate control temperature adjusters that can turn the center vents from cold to warm at any time. In another car these would be manual sliders, you just slide your finger and turn a little plastic lever, but in this car it's electronic so you press exactly the desired level of cool or heat and then a little white light comes on exactly where you want the hot or cold setting to move. gauge cluster there are a couple of interesting things in the gauge cluster, one element that I love, right next to the little fuel gauge that shows how much fuel you have left, it shows your range that doesn't disappear, it's not configurable or changeable, but It's always there, which is a very good idea.

I generally don't want to know how much fuel I have left. I want to know how far I can go and this car just keeps it there all the time so you always can. know, in addition to knowing your fuel level, another thing I like to think about in the age group is that when you rev ​​the engine or go through the rpm as the needle on the tachometer increases and goes to each additional rpm, that number becomes lights up in larger print as you reach for the needle as if to say you're at three thousand, you're at four thousand and then as you pass it, that number goes down again and goes silent until a second is needed again.

A couple of other cool features in the infotainment you can use the infotainment system to turn the daytime running lights on and off and when you do, the daytime running lights on the little graphic

m760i

also turn on and off to mimic what happens in the exterior of the car, which is also cool. Just like the pre-conditioned comfort ventilation control that I showed you before using the key, you can also configure the infotainment system. Basically, you can set a time when the car starts circulating air into the cabin so it's nice and cool when you get to drive.

To get it up and running the next morning, the m760 of course has a wireless charging tray, which is no surprise that most luxury cars have, now you basically just place your phone on a little tray and it will charge it without you you have to plug in a cable. It's not that unusual, the interesting thing about this car is that it has a little reminder, so if you leave your phone in that tray, it will remind you before you get out and walk away that your phone was left behind, as a reminder if you left it on. your lights or if you left the key in the car, another interesting quirk of the infotainment system, you can ask the car to measure the engine oil level, which is kind of fun to watch, you ask it to do the measurement and then It loads in a percentage and measures the level and finally tells you that the engine oil level is fine.

Another thing I love within the infotainment system would be the owner's manual, which is absolutely hilarious. You can use your owner's manual to find out several things about your car. but you can also use it to get various animated screens showing your car doing all sorts of things. Take a look at one of them. Sensors monitor the area around the vehicle and identify suitable clearance for evasion. A camera near the interior mirror monitors the area in front of the vehicle, one thing I like about those animated screens is the other vehicles included in them, like if they show you parking or some collision warning from Ford, it's always BMW, there are like i8 and x5 and in every parking lot your

m760i

finds.

Also, another quirk of this car's infotainment system gives you the ability to record voice memos, so if you're driving and want to tell yourself something for later, you can do it in a way that no one uses this feature, no one has used this feature, but a German guy in the development of this car says I want voice memos and well, everyone has them and finally an interesting quirk of the navigation system that I found is how it shows buildings. Many navigation systems show buildings in 3D, but this requires a step further this is a seven series driving in san diego this is the famous coronado hotel if you look at the seven series navigation system it actually shows the famous red roofs of that building from above, a little more than the typical 3D image of the building which is an interesting little touch that a lot of people won't notice, but when you do it's a nice Easter egg that now comes back to the rest of the interior.

Another interesting item I find in the center console is the Insignia v12, this car reminds you that you didn't spend money and bought a 740 or even a 750, you got the v12 and every time you want that confirmation just look at your center console and it will tell you Another cool feature on this car is the dead pedal which allows you to rest your left foot to the left of the brake pedal on the driver's foot, check this out, it's like the most advanced dead pedal I've ever seen, not only does it have the m on it, which no one will ever notice, but it has a little pattern on it, like an

expensive

sneaker, just so your left foot has an appropriately nice place to sit while you drive your m760 down the road, and speaking of appropriately nice, I want to call your attention to the overall interior of this car, not only is everything very high quality, but everything feels good, everything is nice to the touch, nice to look at and nice to look at, these seats and these like little white cords on The seats, everything is as you see.

It is very expensive and of course that is because it is just another item despite all these luxuries. It's still kind of an m car with a nice big engine and it sounds decent. Give it a listen, and that's all the interesting features and interesting quirks of the m760. I told you there would be a lot, now is the time to get behind the wheel and drive the ultimate BMW, driving the m760. It is so smooth when starting at idle 40 that you don't hear any engine noise, the ride quality is very smooth. I just put it in sport mode and you'll instantly hear this as a bad exhaust even though I'm driving this fancy BMW, but at the end of the day it's still a BMW and it's still a V12.

One thing I like. the turn signal is back to normal on this car you put it down and it stays down that's how a turn signal should be bmw got rid of those stupid alternatives perfect again yeah it's actually kind of interesting because it's such a big car and yet, because I know because of this giant engine and I'm in sport mode, so the throttle response is tighter because of all that, it's able to feel a little smaller than you'd expect from a full size eh. car like this, okay wow oh man this thing is so fast it also feels very very stable of course the steering is very light I mean it doesn't feel like a sports car but the point of This is a luxury. sedan um, if we go into sport mode, you can see they've tweaked the steering a little bit, but it still has that vague luxurious feel.

BMW makes a zillion other cars for people who really want you to know the dirt. Little steering feel you'd get from a real sports car. This is good for a luxury sedan of course, I don't think it's on the level of the Panamera, but wow it's quick, quick, it actually feels like you can turn and do your thing and move into the lanes and whatever , which is surprising because it is huge but it has a ton of power and BMW has created a situation where you can really enjoy the power and use it quite easily, this is not like one of those s-classes where power is something that appears eventually, this car is almost like it has almost sports car like power delivery, oh man the seats are so comfortable, oh the headrest is especially comfortable, it's like a pillow, it's interesting because I just did a video with the genesis g90, the new full size genesis luxury sedan, which is a 70 thousand dollar deal, this car costs twice as much, but you can tell why I want to say that everything is newly improved, everything is in the next level and it's a very good car and a lot of people don't want to spend 180,000 on a luxury car, but if you want to, you want things that are commensurate with spending 180,000 and this.

It's just that we are like in a serene bubble away from the world, I don't have to think about anyone with their cheap cars and the transmission, although the transmission is quite tight in sport mode and the throttle response is quite good, etc. In comfort mode it's just boring almost to the point where you don't really feel any change. I could just take this on a long trip across the country and literally live like that and when someone cuts me off it would be like I don't really care and that's the m760i, the ultimate bmw, the most expensive bmw ever made, the world The world of luxury cars continues to get crazier, more advanced and more luxurious, and this is the new king, the $180k king, and now is the time.

To give it a score from Doug starting with the weekend categories and the design of the m760i is fine, it's not particularly amazing and it gets six out of ten acceleration, however it is amazing, it does zero to 60 in 3.6 seconds, making it faster than a BMW M4 and it scores an incredible eight out of ten, better than some serious sports cars I've tested, such as the Audi R8 and Mercedes Clk 63 Black Series. The handling is good but the steering is a little light and ultimately it's a big car and gets a 6. out of 10. The cool factor is a little above average but most people don't pay more attention than a normal Series 7, which is why it gets a 6 out of 10.

As for theImportantly, the high-end 7 Series models never sell incredibly well and are Not exactly museum-worthy, I give it a 5 out of 10. Added up and the total score for the weekend is 31 out of 50, which ties to the Porsche Panamera Turbo, in fact, they get the same score in all categories and so on until the daily category starting with features I have only done it once before, but between the parking thing, the camera, the rear tablet and the vitality, I can't help it, this car gets a 10 out of 10. The comfort is really impressive, without reaching the upper echelon. -Royce models, but it's not far away and gets a 9 out of 10.

The quality is tremendously good, the interior is fantastic and my only concern would be to have that big v12 in the long term that gets an 8 out of ten. Practicality is good, typical. of a full-size luxury sedan and scores a six out of ten for value, it's quite expensive and will lose value quickly, which means it should score low, but if you want the best, the newest, the best and a lot of people looking to spend this money on a car, I want exactly that good luck finding something more advanced, so it gets a 6 out of 10, bringing the total daily score to 39 out of 50.

That makes it the best car diary i have tested after only less than the lincoln navigator suv and honda odyssey elite minivan for daily work, add it all up and the score obtained is 70 out of 100, this car really has it all, it's fast, it handles reasonably well, It has more technology than you can imagine and can take the whole family here compared to its rivals it beats the panamera turbo by one point thanks to a better daily score it is more comfortable and has more stuff although the restart value of the panamera will be higher It also surpasses the Rolls-Royce Wraith and the Lexus LC as its four-door sedan body makes it more usable and destroys the Genesis G90, not surprising of course given the huge price difference hi seven sixteen hi seven sixty
