The BMW E66 760li represents the fourth generation of the 7 Series, produced from 2001 to 2008. This generation is known for its elegant blend of technology, comfort, and performance. The BMW E66 was mainly designed by Chris Bangle, the then Chief Designer of BMW. He introduced a revolutionary design for that time, which was not immediately accepted by everyone. The vehicle featured a 6.0-liter V12 engine delivering 444 horsepower and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque. This power allowed the luxury sedan to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5.5 seconds. Moreover, the car included numerous innovative features like the iDrive control system, considered groundbreaking at the time.
