Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

The problem with the 760i is the 750i.
The current 650i (same engine but slightly less weight than the 750i) with 445 bhp, 480 lb-ft and 4233 lbs. hits 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and 100 mph in 10.4 clicks and covers a quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds at 112 mph. While the 750i weighs 4475 lbs. (just over 200 lbs more) I suspect the numbers would match the 650, as well as the 760 or be as near as makes no difference.
And again, what does the 760 cost? $159,695
The 750: $87,195
Yes, you read that right, an extra $72,500!
More than the cost of a new M3, or a 650i.
If you ever see anyone in a 760i you know one thing for sure.
They have more money than brains!

Because V12.
(I'd rather have a 550i with the 6-speed manual + cash)

of course they're sold out...
wow that's a lot of discretionary coin doled out for a sub-par choice in its segment.
more power to the owners though, i'd love to have more money than brains - in this particular instance

Actually I'd just have a 1 or 3 series with the new 2.0 turbo and a manual.
All my cars have drum brakes and are sub 200 hp, what am I doing with my life?
