  • The 2027 BMW M760 xDrive is a new eight-cylinder version of the brand's biggest luxury sedan.

  • The new M Performance 7-series debuts an enhanced twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 with around 570 horsepower.

  • BMW hasn't yet said how much the new M760 will cost, but we expect it to exceed $126K when it goes on sale next year.

When BMW revealed the latest update to the 7-series, a V-8 model was conspicuously absent from the refreshed lineup. That's remedied now with the debut of the new 2027 BMW M760 xDrive. It's a high-performance version of the brand's flagship sedan that will arrive in the United States in the first half of next year.

Under the hood of the M760 is a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 with around 570 horsepower. BMW isn't releasing full specs quite yet, but we also know it will have standard all-wheel drive and upgraded chassis components compared with the inline-six-powered 740.

This V-8 7er replaces the previous 760i, which had a slightly less powerful twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 with 536 horses. It didn't wear M badges, though, so it was less performance-focused. Previously, the only M Performance version of the 7-series was the electric i7 M70, which is no longer part of the i7 lineup for 2027.

BMW says it is refocusing the M Performance portfolio around the V-8 engine for the U.S. market, so we can expect to see more of these derivatives in the future for larger models such as the new X5 SUV.
