Transcript

They actually fixed it. BMW just unveiled a new car, and it has something very surprising under the hood. This is the new 2027 BMW m seven sixty xDrive, the new top trim for their flagship sedan. You see, when the face lifted version of the seven series was revealed earlier this year, it was missing something very serious, but we finally have it back. Under the hood of this massive saloon sedan is the 4.4 liter twin turbocharged v eight that sounds amazing and makes 570 horsepower. This m seven sixty now takes the place of the seven sixty I as the flagship trim for the gas powered seven series. And it's based on the Refresh seven, so it gets the new sleeker front end design, the side profile, and simplified rear end. It also gets the new BMW infotainment better with that giant panoramic iDrive display and the crooked center screen. It'll have standard all wheel drive and upgraded chassis components for better handling. The reason this is such a big deal is because when the face lifted seven series debuted earlier this year without the v eight, there were serious concerns we would never see it again with all the emissions regulations and EV stuff. Thankfully, though, BMW says quite the opposite. They're actually refocusing the m performance division around their v eight engine in The US market. So we should expect to see more big engines in more models down the line, like the new x five or whatever else they're cooking up. I think this is exactly what BMW needed. Let me know what you guys think.
