Munich. "In terms of performance, driving dynamics and luxurious comfort, the
BMW 760Li will set new standards in the 12-cylinder luxury saloon segment, also
significantly outperforming its competitors in terms of fuel economy", stated
Dr Burkhard Göschel, Member of the BMW Group Board of Management for
Development and Purchasing, at the presentation of the top model for the new
BMW 7 Series range at the BMW Group Press Conference in Frankfurt.

Dr Göschel emphasized that this is the first BMW to feature direct gasoline
injection supplementing VALVETRONIC technology. The combination of these top
technologies allows unparalleled fuel economy, on the one hand, plus supreme
specific torque and output, on the other. Contrary to GDI engines incorporating
a lean-burn concept and a Denox catalytic converter, the BMW VALVETRONIC+DI
concept with lambda=1 emission technology offers the big advantage of being
suitable for use worldwide, regardless of the level of sulphur in the fuel
available, without any increase in fuel consumption.

The all-new V12 aluminium engine in uncompromising 60° configuration will
displace 6.0 litres, developing maximum output of more than 300 kW/408 bhp and
maximum torque of approximately 600 Nm/442 lb-ft. Like the new V8 power units,
this new 12-cylinder features not only BMW's innovative VALVETRONIC technology
responsible to a large extent for the superior fuel economy of the 760i, but
also four-valve technology and fully variable bi-VANOS camshaft control.

The BMW 760i/760Li is to be launched in autumn 2002.

CO2 emission information.

The values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption shown were determined in a standardised test cycle according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version currently applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers transmission (automatic or manual) and the different wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary during the configuration.

The values of the vehicles labelled with (*), are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to allow a comparison between vehicles. More information on the transition from NEDC to WLTP test procedures can be found here.

These figures are intended for comparison purposes and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles the figures have been obtained using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. The CO2 emissions labels are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the Passenger Car (Fuel consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) Regulations 2001, as amended. They are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle.

A guide on fuel economy and CO2 emissions which contains data for all new passenger car models is available at any point of sale free of charge. For further information you can also visit this link.
