2009 BMW 750i: The Dyno Reveals The Beast Within

Yup, that's our long-term 2009 BMW 750i on MD Automotive's Dynojet chassis dyno in Westminster, CA.

And why not? After all, its 4.4-liter V8 is not only twin-turbocharged and equpped with direct injection, it's been turned inside out. That's right--the intake manifolds are located where the exhaust manifolds usually live, and the turbos nestle in the vee formed by the two cylinder banks.

Does this unconventional layout actually work? Is Nutella a delicious spreadable chocolatey substance? When we finally defeated all of the 750i's numerous electronic protections (including one that throws the transmission into Park if the wheels turn while the door is open), we found out just how angry this flagship luxury liner can be.

Hit the jump for the dyno chart.

Yes they got 450 lb of torque at 2000 rpm, BMW claim is 1800 RPM and I belive in them cause they do not provide the conditions of the test, altitude, temperature, this two characteristcs of the atmosfere can change the air density and you´ll get diferent lectures. It is very likely that the test was not at sea level but at higher altitude. Still a great torque.
