2023 BMW 760i xDrive: Overshadowed by the i7 but still much improved:
The first order of business is the nomenclature. Last year, the 760—or more correctly, the—signified a 12-cylinder model with 600 horsepower. That engine is not available in the new model, and the 760 designation now signifies the twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 that formerly powered the 750i xDrive.
Otherwise, the 760i shares the i7's elegant new bodywork that is some five inches longer and two inches wider and taller than the old car. Without the EV's underfloor battery pack, engineers were able to lower the floor in the 760i, providing fractionally more rear-seat legroom.Despite the generous increase in dimensions, the wheelbase went up by only 0.2 inch, which is perhaps why the new car provides slightly less interior space than the old one. Not that the cabin is tight, mind you.
For all of the emphasis on luxury, this largest of BMW sedans still performs well when pushed on a twisty road. There's plenty of power at all speeds, the brakes are strong, and while the steering isn't the most communicative we've ever felt, it is accurate with a solid sense of on-center. The electric power steering varies the steering ratio with the steering angle, and the 760 gets rear-wheel steering standard. Neither function is perceptible at the steering-wheel rim.
