The numbers are very impressive, this car is really growing on me....The most technologically advanced car in the world right now, and I like it with the quad exhaust setup

Wow, what an engine!! My In-Laws just purchased a brand new 750Li this weekend, with the TT V8 and it has impressive power!! Otherwise the technology is nearly overwhelming, but certainly fun to play with!!

Is it just me, or does the engine pic remind anyone of this famous fellow?

If only I'd been able to wait another year. Then I'd have 400 plus bhp rather than 360 (which is still very nice).

That engine will be quite a beast in the successor to the 550. Should be able to beat an E39 M5 from 0-60 and in the quarter mile.

Now if only BMW drops the V12 into the next M5...But I doubt they will as the engine in the X6M is the much more likely successor engine to the current V10 in the M5.

Either way, BMW is answering the bhp challenge thrown down by MB.

Do they let you park the Mini in the trunk?

Doesn't the new 7's trunk have only 14 cubic feet of storage? Not even a Mini could squeeze in there.

Yes, it's used in place of the spare tire!

Maybe someone can dream up a mod to drop that bad boy into an E60.

Yeah right...
