2027 BMW M760 flagship sedan packs a powerful V8 engine
What's the story
BMW has officially unveiled the 2027 M760 xDrive, a high-performance version of its flagship sedan, the 7 Series. The new model is set to hit the US market in the first half of next year. It will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine that produces around 570hp, and comes with standard all-wheel drive and upgraded chassis components compared with the inline-six-powered 740.
Enhanced features
The M760 xDrive is an upgrade over the 760i model
The M760 xDrive is a performance-focused upgrade over the previous 760i model.
The latter was powered by a slightly less powerful twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine with 536hp but didn't carry the M badge, making it less performance-oriented than its successor.
The only other M Performance version of the 7 Series was an electric variant called i7 M70, which has been dropped from the i7 lineup for 2027.
Strategic shift
A look at BMW's future plans for M Performance lineup
