BMW car just announced that it will produce its last V12 production vehicle in June of this year. The only BMW today with a V12 . engine is the M760i xDrive sedanAnd yes, the 7 Series will indeed be BMW’s last V12-powered car.
To celebrate the occasion, BMW will produce a special “Final V12” version of the M760i, of which only 12 will be produced for the US market. Before we get into what makes the Final V12 special, let’s talk about the V12 engine itself. BMW’s current V12 is a twin-turbo 6.6-liter that makes a whopping 601 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. That’s good enough to run 0-60 mph in just 3.6 seconds in the full-size ole sedan. It’s mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and, interestingly, the M760i does start control from second gear instead of first due to the enormous torque it generates in the rev range. low tassel.
As for what makes Final V12 special, it has some unique styling and design touches. For starters, BMW adds a “V12” badging at the rear – the standard M760i has no such exterior badging. The 20-inch wheels are painted Window Gray or Jet Black, then “polished to reveal dark silver surface accents”. Those wheels will also hide the customer’s choice of blue or black brake callipers. As you’d expect, the BMW comes in a full range of Individual paint colors color Choices available – BMW says customers can choose from more than 80 different exterior colors. Unfortunately, the only photo we have of the car right now is a “V12” badge placed over some nice shimmery black paint, so we’ll need to wait and see the final product.
Inside, you are greeted with the door sill “THE FINAL V12”. The same inscription can also be found on the V12’s engine cover. A panel mounted on the dashboard reads “first OF 12” to make sure anyone traveling in the car knows its exclusivity. As you might expect, all versions of Final V12 will come with every option box checked. You’ll even receive a custom-made desktop trophy that lists your specific M760i’s paint color, interior leather options, and VIN number.
To buy this particular 7 Series, it looks like you’ll have to be approached by BMW instead of entering a seller. Only select customers with a “long history of owning a V12 7 Series will have access”, so if that’s not you, your chances of buying are slim. For those who bought the original BMW 750iL back in 1987 with its 5.0-liter V12 and have stuck with BMW V12s throughout the years, we doubt it’s likely one of these Final V12s. may have your name on it.
