The 2025 BMW 760i proves that a flagship saloon can still steal attention in streets now crowded with prestige SUVs. From the moment its twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 stirs to life, the long-bonnet limousine feels eager yet unruffled, its 536 hp channelled through xDrive and a slick eight-speed automatic assisted by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Tap the left paddle marked “BOOST” and the drivetrain surges forward, the air suspension hunkering down while rear-wheel steering trims the turning circle to sports-car territory.

Settle into the cabin, and the outside world fades. Pillowy Merino leather seats cradle occupants, crystal-cut controls scatter refracted light across the dash, and the glass Interaction Bar glows in hues of your choosing. On the motorway, the insulated glass and adaptive air springs create a hushed cocoon; switch to Sport and the same chassis tightens, masking the saloon’s considerable footprint as it traces sweeping bends with surprising accuracy.

Rear-seat passengers enjoy an equally indulgent theatre: a 31-inch panorama screen motors down from the headliner, blinds glide shut, and streaming apps appear over the car’s own Wi-Fi. For those who prefer open skies to screen time, the Executive Lounge package lets the nearside rear chair recline into chaise-longue mode, complete with power-deployed footrest.
Even its party-piece automatic doors add a dash of ceremony, easing open at a button press and closing with limousine grace once passengers are clear. Only the complex infotainment menus demand patience; otherwise, the 760i’s technology remains a discreet servant, from predictive air suspension that scans the road ahead to active safety aids that keep lengthy journeys calm.
In an era when luxury often equals altitude, BMW’s range-topper reminds drivers what a ground-hugging flagship can deliver: V8 muscle delivered with surgeon-sharp precision, limousine serenity on pock-marked tarmac, and an interior that feels more private club than passenger compartment. The big saloon may be harder to spot these days, but the 760i makes a compelling case for keeping four-door grandeur alive.
