one of my friends went to go get a haircut at this place in New Jersey. He saw Patrick Ewing there as well from the Knicks basketball team. He said that he was driving a BMW 780i. Now i don't know about it...i didn't even know 780i existed. Can anyone confirm

Never heard of a 780. Your friend must have seen 760... and it looked curved like a 780.

The 6 Liter engine is the biggest BMW has. Therefore no 780, just 760 !
