We salute BMW for having the courage to put a 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged V12 in a 7 Series. Now that we’re in an age of electrification, we can’t see it happening again, which makes this well-cared-for 760Li very appealing indeed. For fans of mechanical engineering, nothing beats the way these cars put their power down. Despite the sheer complexity of what’s going on under that vast bonnet, this car is serenely smooth and supremely comfortable to travel in.
This 2012 example is in lovely condition and its appeal is enhanced by its tasteful factory specification. The full options list (included in the gallery) makes for interesting reading and confirms that this is the one to buy. There’s a reassuringly well-documented service history too, demonstrating that this car has been well-maintained over the years, often with BMW-authorised specialists.
Few fifth-generation 7 Series were ordered in such a high specification, so don’t miss this excellent opportunity to acquire a great example.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

£0 to £9,999
£100.00

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
