Its still only slightly faster than the 360hp s550, I thought it would be a bit faster with nearly 100rwhp more. And its not weight either cause the 750li is only ~120 pounds heavier.
X2. Furthermore, If you look at the data, S550 was actually slightly faster than 750i in 5-60 rolling start

IMO these new BMW engines are overrated.. they are nothing special stock for stock. Of course there is a lot of tuning potential, but along with that come potential problems, warranty denials, etc. Real-world gas mileage is horrible too...
