BMW 760i Australian pricing released
September 8, 2009 by Matt Brogan
BMW has today announced the price of the most comprehensively equipped 7 Series model ever offered in Australia, the flagship 760i.
Available exclusively in long wheel-base form, the 760i will be priced at $386,000* and offers a very high level of standard equipment as well as a comprehensive no-cost option program to ensure each car is tailored to the owner’s specific needs.
Replacing the M6 convertible as the most expensive model in BMW’s line-up, the new 760i features a newly developed all-aluminium 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 engine developing 400kW of power and 750Nm of torque.
0-100km/h is achieved in just 4.6 seconds while also managing respectable fuel economy returns of 13.0 litres per 100km (combined). CO2 emissions are 303 grams per kilometre.
“The combination of twelve cylinders and the new eight-speed automatic transmission ensures a maximum of sophistication, refinement and exclusivity in the luxury segment,” says Stavros Yallouridis, managing director of BMW Group Australia. “The 760Li is the most comprehensively equipped BMW ever offered in Australia. In addition, our no-cost option program will ensure the car is perfectly tailored to the exacting requirements of our V12 customers.”
In the face of difficult economic times Australian customers responded favourably to the arrival earlier this year of the new BMW 7 Series. Sales of the BMW flagship increased 70 per cent to 190 units so far this year. The 7 Series is currently the market leader in its segment accounting for almost 40 per cent of all sales in 2009.
The new flagship model will join the existing BMW 7 Series range, which currently includes the 730d, 740i, 740Li, 750i and 750Li. Orders can be placed now with first deliveries expected in mid-December.

One Word
DEPRECIATION
There is better cars out there than that for about $400k. You could just buy a $200k 730d and a $170 M3 for that money.
your weird… people (or most likely companies)who buy this car wants the depreciation for taxation purposes. Why would a CEO of a company roll around in a chauffeur driven M3??
Loss on sale of an asset is straight off the balance sheet. And it is over and above any depreciation too.
For a private buyer though, purchase one of these babies three years old and you can get one of the best value for money propositions around!
Irrelevant
The Diesel lacks the performance of the V12 and the M3 lacks the luxury and refinement. It’s a Limosine that will see off an M3 and isn’t aimed at people who would buy an M3.
Honestly though for that money, I would rather buy a DB9 or the V10 R8
Honestly for that money, I would buy a 370z for weekend drive, a Mini Cooper S for my wife, a Tiguan for family trips, and with spare — a lot of spare — for donating to a charity.
Spoken like a person with a small mind.
Stuff the wife, ands stuff the 370Z ( nice car though), you’d not be selfish and buy a DB9?
I dunno about the DB9 id buy the R8 V8 because its so good looking and souns way better. Oh yeah and better quality for a lot less.
Not everyone is a CEO or has a company to which they can offset the depreciation for this car.
Iam talking about the private buyer mate.
There won’t be alot of them. The private buyer will probably be more interested in something like a DB9 or R8. However a CEO are the target demographic for this car. That is what it is designed for.
These things depreciate so quickly because they are such a big ripoff in the first place. A 750Li costs 3 times more here than it does in America. You would be better off getting a luxury SUV like a Porsche Cayenne or Range Rover because they are less than double the price in America and they don’t drop in value so quickly.
