Top Gear S63 VS BMW 760IL

For those who just watched the new episode today....

Well it was an ok review but if I'm honest they got the cars wrong. I can only assume they didn't compare the 760IL to the S600 (Like they should have done) because BMW doesn't have a 7-Series equivalent to the AMG lineup......any thoughts? I also wonder how the lap times would have been different if it wasn't raining out.

(No youtube video has been posted yet but it shouldn't take more then a few days for someone to throw it up)

Why did they compare a V8 to a V12?

My thoughts exactly. It gets worse when they started going over the options. It made it seem like the AMG didn't have anything on the 760IL because it still has a lot of optional extras needed before it can touch an S600. (An S600 would have equaled or bettered the 760IL)


However because they also took a little drive through Romania I now have to watch three episodes of everyone's favorite anime again tonight

The S63 should be pretty well equiped. What they should have done is compared the BMW to the S65 AMG. Lets see how a 600hp V12 changes things.


Oh God not those ****ed up twins again. If you want to watch something messed up and sad go watch Wolfs Rain.

Hansel and Gretel, two very tragic Romanian orphans. Hansel and Gretel are stage names, there real names are unknown. After Romania fell apart they were sold off to the mafia to make kiddy porn snuff films. They escaped and it seems started to do free lance killing for the Italian mafia.

They are sadistic serial killers. They end up dead after killing Hotel Moscow's people.(Important lesson, do not screw with the Russian mob!) Hansel gets shot by a ex Spetsnaz sniper using a Dragonuv, and is left to bleed out, and Gretel gets her head blown off.

Those three episodes are the most freaky and hard to watch of any show I have ever seen. The characters in the show compare it to the Shinning, but its far more disturbing.

Just watched it.


They should have compared the S65 to the 760Li.

The S65 would kick the 760's ass to kingdom come...

Thanks for the link. It usually doesn't take long for it to be posted....and usually doesn't take long for them to be pulled down so watch it while you can.


Also do look into the Romania trip...it's a good one.
