Already Sold Out: BMW's 25th Anniversary Edition 760Li V12
Well, that didn’t take long. Four days after it was announced, the 25th Anniversary Edition 760L1 V-12 is already sold out. Given that BMW is only bringing 15 of them to the States, it’s not terribly surprising. What is surprising? For some reason, the brass decided to shackle the 6.0L, 535hp twin turbo V12 with a 130mph limiter, which seems pretty lame. If I’m paying 160k for a car, I think it should have more top end than say, a two-year-old Camry. That just seems like a blatant push to get people to upgrade to the M Sport Package—and shell out another 10k or so. But it sure looks pretty. Pics and full press release below.

The 25th Anniversary Edition 760Li V-12 reflects a rich tradition of V-12 engines that began back in 1987 with the then groundbreaking BMW 750iL when BMW engineers crafted the most Ultimate Driving MachineTM of its day with the introduction of the company’s first automotive V-12 engine.
