2020 BMW M760i is large and in charge

There's a certain automotive subset that is all but guaranteed to end up as a parade of chauffeur-mobiles for important individuals. 

The recently restyled 2020 BMW M760i is one of those cars, but the M in the name hints that this sedan should also be pretty rewarding for the lucky person who gets hired to pilot the thing.

The M760i is the best of both worlds.

It's stellar for the driver, and it's stellar for the driven. 

Opting for the ultimate luxury ride seriously reduces the competition.

The 2020 Audi S8 provides nearly the same power from its mild-hybrid V8 powertrain, and I prefer its infotainment system, but it's not on sale in the US just yet.

The Mercedes-AMG S65 is probably the closest Merc comes to the M760i, while it's still on sale, as the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class' two trims are both significantly more expensive than the Bimmer, although the S650 is the only other way to get a V12 nowadays.

The 2020 BMW M760i is something special -- as well it should be, with a base price of $157,700 and my tester ringing in at a house-like $173,795.

It can be a surprisingly sharp performer, despite its size and heft, but it's most at home with everything in Comfort mode, rolling down the street like there's a permanent air gap between car and concrete.
