Design: discreet signal outside, in the style of exclusivity.

The outstanding ticket BMW BMW 760i and 760Li benefit from the harmonious combination of luxury, sportiness and natural resources present so the new features of the BMW 7-Series with Design. Provide 14 centimetres or 5.5 “longer wheelbase, the expanded version allows particularly comfortable access to the rear seats. And thanks to the unique design of the roofline and C-pillar contours, see the side of the car, although more headroom for the rear-seat passengers, maintain the same overall impression as on a “regular” saloon with “normal” wheelbase. Both two versions of the body, incidentally, comes with the longest wheelbase in their respective segments.

U.S. to refer to the V12 power of the BMW 760i and BMW 760Li is a similar style and discreet. Grille to radiator kidney boasts an extra-wide chrome slightly concave in the design and the bar expanded strongly into the front. From the 19-inch light-alloy wheels are exclusive on the model and V12 model designation on the chromium-plated gills of the parties with the only points in the transition between the control panel side and driver, and corresponding, the front passenger’s door to serve further to define the model is very special.

Add a chrome bar between the unique dual tailpipes on the exhaust to provide a special system of signs of discrimination in the rear of both models. The exhaust tailpipes integrated in the rear air dam on the right and left, in turn, is implemented in two adjacent, rectangular tube units embellished with chrome trim and cut a little on the upper level, salient their appearances.

Inside the BMW 760i and BMW 760Li luxury ambience the added features of special design suitable for both models appropriate in perfect harmony and, once again expressed the exclusive character of V12 models.

The new V12 power: perfect as the principles, innovation as driving power.

The twelve-cylinder power unit in a BMW 7-Series Luxury Saloon Performance guarantee an experienced driver and travel quite unique in every respect. No other engine provides a combination of outstanding power and refinement, no units provide power and a superior standard prestige.

Now these features to even more clearly, with BMW’s new V12 provides more power and Torque significantly compared with their previous, optimizing engine response and continue to power , and continue to improve the engine’s acoustics. The progress achieved in this way is clearly recognisable beginning.

These features also stand out clearly from the BMW 750i, with features modern V8 Turbo TwinPower Injection technology and accurate, and thus provide power and performance of a conventional twelve – cylinder.

Therefore, the new V12 maintain the prominent position of the BMW-by twelve-cylinder models also have a new generation of BMW 7-Series, the driver of a BMW 760i, and the corresponding, a BMW 760Li of all to ensure absolute supremacy in the luxury class. However, it is a combination of new engines highlight the quality of a V12 with effects, provide a level of the economy and fuel emission, even managed better than eight-cylinder model the same as the BMW 7-Series.

By tradition, the twelve-cylinder enjoy a special status on the world unmatched by the engine’s design and configuration. The twelve-cylinder represents the highest level of technology in the engine and justifies the position through outstanding quality driver, this concept can provide.

Unique status of the twelve-cylinder as an incomparably strong, and at the same time, refined power unit is based on a construction and design provides the perfect principles of the conditions for super-rights and efficiency achieved without slightest effort. Benefit from a 60 ° angle between two cylinders of, the V12, the Super eliminate vibrations, closer to the highest standards in physical conceivable than any other engine.

All components and design features on the all-aluminum engine block was built and construction for superior stiffness to weight minimum. Using a closed-deck structure in combination with the cylinder head bolts down on the floor plate of crankcase, engine, mentioned only as an example, ensuring maximum stability on the cylinder liners. Double bolts on the main bearings with a connection to supplement the side chain through the panel support bolts and bushes to reduce the influence of lateral forces crankdrive from the crankcase.

In addition, part of the recovery in the typical twelve-cylinder BMW style to reduce vibrations to an absolute minimum of steel-coated aluminum pistons, rods forged assembly connected through process tank , as well as for forged crankshaft also absolutely perfect. This also makes the sound of the engine when idling experience a very special place where the first driver to look in to to see the engine running at all.

The new V12 rights associated with maintaining accurate cylinder 5972 cc same volume as on the engine. Displacing 497.7 cubic centimetres per cylinder, so the engine for exactly the right size and the size of the engine are recognized experts, completely ideal. Mm/3.50 bore by 89 “and stroke is 80 mm/3.15″ provide a ratio between the number of 0.9, while the compression ratio is a significantly higher 10.0: 1 is quite unusual on a unit of of turbocharged.

About Turbo Technology TwinPower the twelve-cylinder.

BMW’s new twelve-cylinder comes with a feature special techniques to capitalize on the potential it provides through the design principles and basic structure. In particular, this includes the first-ever use on a twelve-cylinder Turbo by TwinPower technology and accurate with Injection direct fuel injection in Combustion Chambers.

With this combination of high technology has been on the BMW’s six-to eight cylinders, sensitively respond directly and even to small movements of the gas pedal, maintaining a consistent Torque and provide a the level of fuel economy and emission management is quite unusual for an engine this calibre, a new twelve-cylinder to stand out from the competition in every respect.

Thanks to the small angle of only 60 ° cylinder, two exhaust gas turbochargers developed specifically for the new suit in V12 compact arrangement outside of the two cylinders, each providing six cylinders with compressed air.

The turbochargers prominent especially through unusually good compressor and turbine efficiency – and through the positions that they provide ideal conditions for holding pipe between exhaust manifold and turbochargers running short and straight to ideal conditions. Center turbocharger providing air to the air to, in turn, helps optimise both the engine’s acoustics and cycle. The exhaust gas manifolds same on each of the cylinders in each case there are two three-in-one geared to connect the engine’s firing sequence. In combination with optimized catalytic Converters Quantity minimum pressure, this special configuration of the exhaust gas manifolds set foundation for outstanding following spontaneity gas pedal as well as the super power and Torque from twelve-cylinder.

Peak Torque increased to 750 this Newton-meters or 553 lb-ft at just 1500 rpm and to be maintained all the way to 5000 rpm. So with the engine, which means that Torque increases by 25 percent of the current development in an engine speed of 2,300 rpm lower.

Engine power will be built faster than the previous engine, as is borne by many citizens steeper power to maximum output of 400 kW/544 hp at 5250 rpm.

Smart Solutions for more even power and supremacy.

Referrals TwinPower Technology Turbo increase in the twelve-cylinder to a level of production and Torque a naturally-aspirated power unit will be achieved only with much larger displacement. The increase in size and weight of the engine can not be avoided in this case, along with the negative effects on the heart of risk, fuel consumption and agility of the car, avoid most of all and intelligently through technology turbocharger.

One more is TwinPower Technology Turbo V12 for its unparalleled power and performance borne out of the special characteristics of higher-level development of the full power and Torque beginning just above the idling speed and then be maintained in a wide load range.

To ensure accurate and sensitive energy dosage at all times, the air compressed by a turbocharger technology is a complex and demanding indirect intercooler. This serves to minimize the total volume of air needed and shorten any time delay, again enabling the engine to meet the ideal for the driver on foot gas pedal. Coolant pump more feeds separate coolant circuit necessary for this purpose to the air / coolant heat eXchanger position directly on the Intake Unit.

The catalytic Converters on the new twelve-cylinder comes with the most advanced and sophisticated exhaust gas Sensors and quickly reach the temperature optimum thanks to a special location close to the engine. Effective treatment of exhaust air, ensuring adequate maintenance of all international standards emission, the BMW 760i and BMW 760Li complete EU5 emission standards in Europe and ULEV II standard in United States .

To reduce pressure Number of exhaust systems to the underfloor with most straight pipe manifolds and to increase the size of the largest possible diameter. Exhaust silencer masterminded the flaps control electronics of the unit as a function of the map provided to exactly the right engine sound exactly geared to the driving current. When idling, so the V12 is still completely silent, not emitting any noise at all. This also applies to cruising conditions, only very discreet sound from the engine are emitted to the outside. Therefore, it is only the engine speed in the driver appropriate acoustic receive feedback on the development of power, the engine provides muscular V12 sound when accelerating fast promptly and fully power them. Again, sound is particularly effective under conditions authentically dynamic, reflecting both the capacity of the engine and the Intensity of power from the engine computer, characterising the dynamic quality of the BMW by twelve-cylinder.

Optimized Combustion and ensure maximum effectiveness of the High Precision Injection.

BMW High Precision Injection is a second generation technology-service direct injection to optimise Combustion, processing and use of energy in the fuel at maximum efficiency. Piezo-injectors position between cylinder head allows particularly precise dosage of fuel injected into Combustion Chambers.

Combined with TwinPower Turbo technology, High Precision Injection is characteristic of all gasoline in the BMW 7-Series. And now, the new V12 power unit, this technology especially ensure efficient and clean Combustion as the starting point for a level of economic fuel and emission management is quite unparalleled in this class on performance.

Open to the outside, the Piezo-injectors are in position between the cylinder head and valves, as a result, directly next to the spark plugs. They are provided with fuel through a stainless-steel tube, fuel is then injected into the Combustion Chambers of finely atomised form at a pressure up to 200 bar. This system is creating a unique pressure-plunge of the fuel pumps on each row of cylinders and reliability is maintained at all times in his short and fuel to travel.

The fuel injected in this process spread in conical form, so run in a special process is smooth and clean. This, in turn, have a positive impact of engine emissions and sound, the effects cooling of the fuel supplied by the air fuel mixture injected directly outside help to achieve a compression ratio higher on a turbocharged engine with manifold injection. The bottom line, therefore, is an even higher degree of the engine to create more efficient power on less fuel.

In the configuration and structure, the cylinder head, most follow the specific location of the injectors and spark plugs as well as the procedures provided by Combustion High Precision Injection. Short of Combustion optimized for building maximum efficiency, temperature and pressure requires optimized cylinder head geometry and effective flow of coolant. The cast cylinder head in one of the highlights, especially through their very high level of stiffness, while the cylinder head includes are made of aluminum and comes with profile rubber seal.

Double-VANOS and control the flow of oil pumps for maximum efficiency.

Again, in typical BMW style, the new twelve-cylinder comes with the double VANOS infinite camshaft adjustment of the control period. This ensures a share in running condition with a high level of residual gas throttle and minimizing the damage to the fuel efficiency.

A further advantage of the double-VANOS support for a particularly direct answer. Participate in the process of heat, accompanied with forged camshafts Cams, Cams Intake three more on the service to drive high pressure fuel pumps. The exhaust valves on the sides, in turn, are filled with sodium for optimal cooling and comes with chrome-plated shafts.

The supply of oil for each twelve-cylinder has also been optimized, the traffic volume oil pump-control operation of individual needs with maximum efficiency: The six-chamber pendulum-slide pump only provide as much oil as the tools needed at any point in time under specific conditions drive.

An oil level sensor is integrated in the oil sump is made of aluminum pressure-cast. And instead of a dipstick oil, an oil level indicator in the cluster tool also active in driving notified by drivers oil level whenever required.

New twelve-cylinder models in the BMW 7-Series again features a range of technologies to minimize fuel consumption and emissions based on the strategy of BMW EfficientDynamics. Energy, including Regeneration Brake, electric coolant pump operating on demand, volume and control the flow of oil to pump to optimize the load balancing performance and fuel consumption.

With an increase in output compared with models of 22 and maximum Torque increased by 25 percent, average fuel consumption is determined in the EU test cycle was reduced to 12.9) litres/100 km. Rating emission of BMW’s 760i is a 299) grams per km.

Engine coolant system on a new twelve-cylinder excels through consistent integration of all pipe in the crankcase, optimized cross-section and surface structure, ensuring maximum heat eXchanger function help “warm” far more active and quickly than before on the former power units.

Arrangements of the coolant inlet right next to the main inlet duct for the supply of oil outside to connect two media in terms of, again to help “warm” the engine oil and maintain The ideal temperature at all times.

The flow of coolant to be part of two cylinders, in each case running diagonally from the back outside to the inside first. And last but not least, the arrangement of the store again to help spread the Vietnamese Dong and maintain temperature over a range of engine speed.

BMW highlights of the twelve-cylinder technology: a long tradition of superior performance.

This is the fourth time that a twelve-cylinder power unit marks the top end of the engine featured in the nearly 7-Series BMW. And indeed, each new generation has continued to strengthen the position of the BMW is the manufacturer performance luxury saloons. A BMW 7-Series with a twelve-cylinder power units to stand exclusivity, supremacy, and not least, genuine innovation, top-of-the-range engine provides high standard Best also into account a maximum of their needs is to meet expectations beginning in the development process.

BMW’s highlights in the development and production of twelve-cylinder power units are based on a long tradition of expansion all the way back to the year 1925 when the company for the first time, hit the headlines by building an aircraft engine with twelve cylinders. Back then BMW’s V12 developing maximum output of 750 hp, there are two BMW twelve cylinders powering the Dornier Wal seaplane only five years later recorded in the Atlantic on the flight.

In the second half of the 20th century has become BMW first introduced in the twelve-cylinder prominent in most luxury cars. The BMW 750i launch in 1987, for example, German is the first twelve-cylinder saloon after the war. In years to follow a story of success in motorsport further contribute to the outstanding reputation of BMW’s twelve cylinders. The BMW V12 LMR, for example, dominated the racing scene beginning in the first race in 1999, within 12 hours of Sebring, and in the same season clinched the win in the 24 hours of Le Mans.

World development: eight-speed automatic transmission, in the new BMW 760i and BMW 760Li new.

The unique qualities of the new energy TwinPower Turbo V12 with technology and accurate Injection combined in the new BMW 760i and BMW 760Li with a new concept of equal creativity for the transmission of electricity : development of new eight-speed automatic transmission make one of the world production car BMW. Ideally matched with the power and performance characteristics of the twelve-cylinder units right, eight-speed automatic transmission combine super gearshift comfort, sportiness and performance at a level never achieved previously.

New eight-speed automatic transmission excels through improved configuration gearsets Gears and use of more Gears and gear much larger increments than the former six-speed automatic transmission, without any impact negatively on the size of the transfer, its weight, and the effectiveness of the system.

Gears eight forward and reverse match all gear gearsets simple four and five factors gearshift. The improved arrangement of the components showed that the first time on an eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring that only the two clutches is opened in each gear at any given point in time, significantly reduce the frictional losses under all driving conditions to an absolute minimum.

Over and above the gear increments and high internal efficiency, this continues to be a factor contributing to the excellent new, effective system of transmission. So, again, the concept of the smart new eight-speed automatic transmission perfectly harmonises with the BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy.

About the first eight-speed automatic transmission in the BMW 760i and BMW 760Li mark start of a generational change in the system transmit power. Six-speed automatic is now being transmitted in all of the features of the model series BMW has established standards of comfort changes, reaction time, gearshift speed and efficiency, and through the compact design and configuration as well as the common use of them in the car segments and strength classes, provided all of them unparalleled quality. Foremost and first goal in the development of a new generation of automatic transmissions, therefore, to retain all the design features of the six-speed automatic transmission and add new potential in Motoring terms of comfort, performance and effectiveness.

Optimized gearset configuration as a result of scientific research.

To achieve significant progress on BMW’s proven six-speed automatic transmissions, the BMW engineers right from the start initiating a depth in the development process provides the basis for the transmission new. The first review, especially the advanced work out is only possible with a transmission system provides a number of larger, even Gears and gear increments than a six-speed transmission automatically. One goal was more to keep the number of components added to the minimum necessary to optimise the effectiveness of the system.

Besides BMW, some partners in the development of expertise as zF Friedrichshafen AG to join search for an optimal concept complete all these requirements. Working together closely, complete team to serve the development of analysis methods to set up and balance the pros and cons of all the conceivable theoretical variation of the gear system. To begin with, both the number of Gears was open as was the structure of the transmission system with new concepts. The basic objectives, so as to achieve the highest standards of conceivable efficiency and new media to keep compact and light.

Conduct research of engineers and scientists to end the supply of a solution of the best balance of performance and overall quality of running: a new eight-speed automatic transmission with two Gears additional gear and a range increment increased from six to seven gear units, with the gearsets increasing by only one to a total of four, and the remaining clutches not change.

Three with two more in Gears: gearshift dynamics improved, optimized comfort, efficiency maximised.

Thanks to much larger increments gear now provided by the new transmission, the driver can use the highest gear at the speed of the engine significantly reduces the frequency than before. In the BMW 760i and BMW 760Li, this not only optimises the car’s economy and in higher speed, but also enhances the Smoothness and refinement of the twelve-cylinder.

With Gears amount is increased to eight individual steps between the first Gears was smaller, although more total gear increments. Clearly, this benefits of sport by the media characters, and as a result, the dynamic nature of the car in typical BMW style.

Speed up the harmony, while the number of gear ratios provide very smooth and consistent increase in road speed, a feature corresponding to the ideal of continuing electricity from new V12 and again confirm unparalleled supremacy of the BMW 760i and BMW 760Li.

A further advantage of the small gear increments is to raise the comfort gearshift in BMW’s outstanding performance Du Saloon, with only a little change in engine speed when moving from one gear to another.

The reaction and gearshift times less, even with the former six-speed automatic transmission benefit both Motoring driving comfort and dynamics, with only one leg to be disengaged when moving up or down, or one or two Gears. At the same time gear directly detected allows the driver to move up or down by more than two Gears, with the very short side and gearshift times. And last but not least, the downshift from second to eighth gear is particularly important for the spontaneous rate also occurred as requiring changes direct gear system, to open only one leg.

This particular configuration is very important for driving pleasure in the super BMW 760i and BMW 760Li, allowing drivers to use more Gears for perfect and efficient refinement Motoring often, while enjoying special especially car maximum performance spontaneously at all times.

Flexible, update, oriented to the future.

With the number of transmit elements are strengthened only slightly over the former six-speed automatic transmission, new eight-speed automatic provides an unusually high level of internal efficiency. So-called network-gear efficiency, for example, have more than 98 percent in each gear. And configured directly as a gear, sixth gear not reduce frictional losses.

Low weight of the new media that is almost the same of former six-speed automatic, more general benefits effectiveness of the car, with the integrity of a gearset being complemented by optimisation of the compensation volume in other areas.

In all these votes to convert at least, the high degree of effectiveness, low frictional losses with only two clutches open at a time, the transmission ratios higher than Gears on the transfer and management priorities for the engine low speed at all times offer a reduction of fuel consumption compared with the former six-speed automatic by about 6 percent.

As a result of these improvements and highlights in technology, new eight-speed automatic transmission, is not only optimized the system is available, but also a future-oriented, solutions for the transmission of electricity in a car insurance.

The transmission can be associated with all types of engine and the level of performance, and can be integrated, not only in car-wheel with the drive, but also in all -wheel-drive model. Also during the eight-speed automatic transmission can be combined with hybrid drive, making it a part of BMW Active Hybrid technology, combining an eight-cylinder gasoline engine with an electric motor. The concept driving this improvement will be produced in the standard model in the first BMW 7-Series course in 2009.

Set the new standard in Motoring supremacy: the new BMW 7-Series with twelve-cylinder power unit and eight-speed automatic transmission.

Twelve cylinders and eight-speed – this combination is determined according to the standards of most super exclusivity refinement and luxury in the classroom. The driving technology featured in the new BMW 760i and BMW 760Li create a significant contribution to the renovation of a significant power of technology ensures BMW brand, the unique power and efficiency the characteristics of the new V12 power unit and the creation of eight concepts – speed automatic transmission, join forces to provide an experience truly exciting to drive.

Super-power is thus converted into equality with the driving dynamics with a exceptionally high standard of Motoring refinement. Provide superior Smoothness and fully capable of holding large power at all times, in the twelve-cylinder simply begs the driver and passengers to enjoy an experience most comfortable driving wherever they go, through sport performance high calibre as an asset in unparalleled luxury performance Motoring.

Eight-speed automatic transmission perfect supplement for both features and supremacy of the power unit. At the same time a special performance of both models at the top BMW 7-Series is not only a result from the V12 power, but also from the transfer. Innovations developed in the context of BMW EfficientDynamics luxury saloon this combination allows speed to 100 km / h in 4.6) seconds with average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle of 12 / 9) litres / 100 km.

The prominent position of the new BMW 760i and BMW 760Li will be continue to be underlined by suspension technology to this particular development Saloon Du combining improved driver systems support partial monopoly for BMW with a range of comfortable facilities as all the standard features. More than ever, therefore, both models meet the needs and requirements of most of the motorist looking for a mobile personal highest calibre as a part of yourself for lifestyle perfectly absolute.
