Here’s How Much Faster A BMW M760Li Is Than An M3
BMW’s M760Li may be a big, two tonne hulk of a car, but with a fancy all-wheel drive system and 592bhp from a 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12, it’s staggeringly fast. It’ll do 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds, which - until the new M5 arrives - makes this the fastest accelerating BMW in the current line-up.
We’ve already seen how it gets on when going up against similarly sized, similarly powerful luxury saloons, but how about another car from the BMW stable? That’s the setup in this Car Wow drag race, with the uber-7 pitted against the 444bhp BMW M3 Competition Pack.
As you’d expect, the M760Li wins the day, but the margin of its victory may surprise you. Don’t forget, while it has much more power to play with, it’s also carrying a good few hundred kilograms of fat on board. Not bad, BMW, not bad at all…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Bring in the M3 E46 GTR, see ya 760LI
Crazy, buy not suprising! Ive worked for BMW and driven many 2,3, and 4 series cars, as well as a few M cars. I have never been in the new M760, but a few months ago i had the chance to ride in a brand new 750i. Crazy how fast a massive, ridiculously luxurious car like that can feel, cant imagine how the 760 would be!!
