BMW M760i / M760Li G12: the twelve-cylinder 7 Series, the exhaust system guide
At the top of the G12 7 Series range, the M760i combines the comfort of a large limousine with the N74, a 610 hp twin-turbo V12. Few production cars still offer twelve cylinders, and fewer still put them to work with such versatility. The factory exhaust, for its part, makes sure you never hear them. This guide takes you step by step through choosing a Rog exhaust worthy of this V12.
Your valved exhaust for BMW M760i / M760Li G12 N74 V12 is configured from your VIN, and the BMW 7 Series G12 Valved Exhaust page brings together every system we make for this generation.

The N74 V12: twelve twin-turbo cylinders powering the M760i
The N74 is a twin-turbo V12, one of the last twelve-cylinder engines in BMW's history. In the M760i G12 it produces 610 hp and 800 Nm, sent to all four wheels. Torque arrives very early and stays available across a wide band, so this limousine accelerates with disconcerting ease, without ever seeming to strain.
On an engine this powerful and this refined, the exhaust system makes all the difference between a V12 you can sense and a V12 you can live. The one on the standard M760i is calibrated to preserve silence on board, to the point of making you forget its layout. The Rog valved exhaust replaces it, with the engine and the ECU left untouched, and lets you choose between limousine discretion and the presence of a great V12.
What makes up the exhaust on your BMW M760i / M760Li G12
Here is what the Rog exhaust replaces, and where the sound is shaped.
The cat-back is the complete exhaust system
It is everything you can see under the chassis of your BMW M760i / M760Li G12, right through to the tips: pipes, silencer, valves. This is the part where most of our research and development goes, the part that shapes the sound, and it fits without touching the engine or the ECU.
The figures for your BMW M760i / M760Li G12
An exhaust system is judged first by ear and on the scales. The extra horsepower comes from an ECU remap.
Power
Torque
Published factory and Stage 2 figures. Factory figures vary by version; Stage 2 published for the 610 hp version.
The Rog exhaust works with or without an ECU remap. To get the full potential out of your BMW M760i / M760Li G12, we advise taking it to an approved tuning centre for a remap afterwards.
With its two turbos, the N74 has reserves that a Stage 2 taps into, mainly by working on boost pressure. Everything then depends on the health of the engine and the transmission, and on the rigour of the tuner. On a limousine of this standing, the Rog exhaust provides the soundtrack such a project calls for.
Configuring your exhaust, step by step
2 choices, in the same order as the product page configurator.
-
Step 1 of 2: Material: stainless steel or titanium
Titanium costs more than stainless steel; the price of each version is shown on the product page, in your currency.
304 stainless steel
- Weight
- Baseline
- Sound
- Full and rounded
The safe bet: strong, corrosion-proof, with a full, rounded sound. The best value for money.
Titanium
- Weight
- Around 40% lighter
- Sound
- Metallic, crystal-clear
It makes the exhaust around 40% lighter for the same design. Its note is more metallic and clearer higher up the rev range, and its finish ranges from brushed to blued.
No worries on durability: 304 stainless steel shrugs off winter road salt and titanium does not rust. Stainless steel or titanium: what really changes.
-
Step 2 of 2: Valves: Rog remote or factory control
Two ways to control the valves on your BMW M760i / M760Li G12.
Rog remote
A discreet control unit in the boot and a two-button remote: you open and close whenever you like, independently of the drive modes. For fitting, we support you by email.
Factory control
- Only for vehicles fitted with factory valves
- Controlled by the drive modes
For vehicles fitted with factory valves: the exhaust connects to their control and the drive modes stay in charge, with no extra control unit.
At 130 km/h, many sports exhausts drone. Here, with the valves closed, the exhaust flows through the silencer and stays composed when cruising; open, it makes itself heard when you choose. More about exhaust drone.
Your choices carry over to the product page: only the finishes, your VIN and the cart remain.
The Rog sound signature on the M760i's V12
A V12 has a unique voice, dense and smooth, in which the pulses merge into a continuous breath that grows richer as the revs rise. In the M760i, the two turbos and above all the factory exhaust reduce this song to almost nothing: you drive with twelve cylinders without ever really hearing them.
On this model, two characters at the same price: the straight pipe for the raw sound of your engine, unfiltered, or the resonator for a rounder and slightly softer voice. Either way, the exhaust stays fully sporty.
Day to day, with the valves closed, you keep the Olympian calm of a large 7 Series, perfect for long journeys and demanding passengers. With the valves open, the V12 reveals itself: a silky rumble on start-up, a broad and powerful climb through the revs, and that sound only twelve cylinders can make.
