I did take it on the autobahn once. With no speed limits, I reached 165 mph. It was exhilarating, but I did feel the need for extra caution around other vehicles.
165 mph sounds incredible, lisa05! How did the car handle at that speed? Any noticeable vibrations or instability?
Surprisingly, it felt solid! The adaptive suspension really helps with stability. It’s like BMW designed it for those speeds. Weather, of course, impacts it too.

I’ve read that the tires can also affect top speed. I’ve always used standard tires. Do people change theirs for higher performance?

Good point! High-performance tires definitely increase handling and can help with top speed, especially on long drives.
Has anyone tried it in various weather conditions? I’d be curious to know how it performs in rain or snow.

I wouldn’t recommend going too fast in the rain. I slipped once at around 100 mph. It wasn’t fun, so caution is key! How do you generally drive yours?
I’m really more of a cautious driver. I like to enjoy the power without always pushing the limits. The X750i is a beast at lower speeds too!
I get that! Sometimes it’s more enjoyable to cruise rather than race. Plus, it’s a pretty luxurious ride, isn’t it?
Absolutely! I enjoy the smooth ride and tech features. It makes every trip enjoyable, whether you’re speeding or just taking it easy.

On a humorous note, I joke that I only reach top speeds when fleeing from speed cameras! Stay careful out there!

I’ve read that the top speed of the BMW X750i is around 155 mph, which is pretty impressive for a luxury SUV. It definitely matches well with competitors like the Porsche Cayenne.

That is indeed fast! How does that compare to the acceleration times? I’ve been curious about the 0-60 mph time for luxurious SUVs like the X750i.
The X750i does 0-60 mph in about 4.5 seconds! That’s competitive with many sportier cars, not just other SUVs. It really feels quick when driving it.
Wow, that’s impressive! How about handling? Does it feel heavy on the turns like some other SUVs do?

Actually, the X750i has a really sporty feel. It handles turns surprisingly well for a large SUV, thanks to its advanced suspension system.
I have to agree with pneal. I took the X750i for a test drive and was blown away by the responsive steering and stability in corners. It’s a whole experience!

For those who own it, how does the driving experience hold up on long journeys? Is it comfortable for extended rides?

I find it incredibly comfortable for long rides. The seats are supportive, and the cabin is very quiet, making it perfect for road trips.
That’s good to hear! How does it compare to the Mercedes GLE in terms of overall driving experience?
