BMW is killing the V12 engine this summer
Fox News
BMW will end production of its V12 engines this June. A dozen M760i xDrive Final V12 models will be sold in the U.S. to mark the occasion.
V12 engines have long been a mainstay of the high-end luxury segment thanks to their combination of power and smoothness, qualities that also apply to an electric drivetrain, which adds efficiency to the mix.
BMW will mark the occasion in the U.S. by offering a limited run of a dozen M760i xDrive Final V12 sedans equipped with a 601 hp 6.6-liter V12. The $200,995 cars will come fully loaded and will be available in any color combination BMW offers, but only if you're on the list.
BMW said its dealers will be reaching out to customers with long histories of V12-powered 7-Series ownership to offer reservations for the special model.
