Idiosyncrasy: V12 engine; aluminum hood and front fenders
As the luxury leader of BMW's 7 Series, the 760Li sits on a stretched wheelbase that’s five-and-a-half inches longer than standard 7 Series sedans. That provides more legroom for backseat riders, and it also helps accommodate a maximum contingent of sophisticated equipment. New adaptive front headlights steer with the car for better vision around curves. But, of course, they ride in the damage-prone front end. In addition to the hood and front fenders, most of the Li's suspension is made from aluminum, and the suspension is interlaced with electronic equipment to control body roll in corners, adjust ride firmness and level the rear end.
