So once again the RHD market doesn't get xDrive. Given the power and the torque, they need to sort this. The traction control light will be permanently on ...

0 - 62 mph is up from 3.6 to 4.2 because it can't put the power down.

I simply don't understand why unless they see a limited market. The M760Li will have x-drive and that can't have more room under the bonnet than the B7!!

It must be that their cooling system is designed around the LHD version, and reversing it all for RHD just isn't worth it. They will mostly sell this model in Germany and US I suspect.

600bhp RWD barge. Cool.
