At the test drive , Cambece noticed an amazing 0 to 61-mph sprint of 5.1 seconds en route to a 14 second quarter-mile at nearly 110 mph. That places the BMW 750i only fractionally behind the fastest model of the previous-generation of BMW 7 Series, the Alpina B7, which stickered for $49,500 more than the BMW 750i's base price.

 

Amazingly , the BMW 750i also proves to be an serious competitor for the considerably more expensive Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG. Braking performance makes an good impression too — not many 4,600-pound sport sedans can stop themselves from 60 mph in just 115 feet, as Cambece noticed..
