Buyers of the 2006 BMW 750i will enjoy such features as the 360-horsepower V8, 18-inch alloy wheels, front power seats, walnut trim, a tire pressure monitor, and Bluetooth phone capability (though a cell phone is no longer standard). Move up to the 750Li and get another 5.5 inches of wheelbase, chrome roof moldings, and even more ways to adjust those power seats. The 760i model adds 78 horsepower thanks to its 6.0-liter V12. An electronic suspension, 20-inch alloy wheels, a driver’s seat with massage, dark ash trim, and an upgraded sound system with a six-disc CD changer are also included. Besides the longer wheelbase, the 2006 BMW 7 Series 760Li swaps out the 20-inch alloys for 19s and features a unique interior ash trim.

About Thom Blackett
Thom Blackett joined Autobytel in 2000 as a Research Analyst with the company's data division, Automotive Information Center (AIC). After four years of pouring through press kits searching for minute details, Thom jumped to Autobytel's editorial team. Born and raised in the state of Maine (no, it's not part of Canada and yes, the proper pronunciation of lobster is "lobstah"), Thom has always been a car nut, using his grandmother's potholders as steering wheels to "drive" around the house as a youngster. His biggest sorrow is never getting to know his grandfather's 1959 Caddy, or the '62 Impala Convertible and '69 Chevy Malibu that his parents once owned. As Autobytel's Road Test Editor, Thom strives to write articles that serve to inform as well as entertain. A proud member of the Motor Press Guild, Thom holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Maine. Comments may be emailed to thomb@autobytel.com.
