The BMW M760Li delivers exceptional handling for its size, but it seems like all the assets of the V12 Bimmer were in vain when it came to the accident we're looking at.
We're dealing with a Belgian-registered example of the M Performance flagship, with the luxury sedan having been turned into an... agricultural machine.

We only have three photos that reveal the aftermath of the crash, so we can only zoom in on the details of the car's surroundings in order to understand what caused the uber-7er to leave the asphalt. Nevertheless, we'll tip our keyboards to the Gumbal Facebook page for these photos.

Judging by the marks on the grass, the M760Li packed a monstrous velocity value before before leaving the road.

And while this luxurious German sedan does packs xDrive, we're definitely not talking about the all-wheel-drive duties the Bavarian engineers intended in this case.

Oh well, at least it appears that the BMW hasn't rolled over in the ordeal we're discussing.

Speaking of which, we've witnessed a similar situation, albeit one that saw the involved machine managing to get away with nothing more than a thorough wash - okay, the tires had to be separated from the wheels, so the grass and dirt could be removed, while a few rocks has also found its way under the vehicle, but the ending was a happy one.

Alas, this V12 Bimmer doesn't appear to have been so lucky. For instance, if we ignore the dirt-covered body of the lavish machine and focus on its wheels, we'll notice that the accident has generated what appears to be serious damage.

Come to think of it, this wouldn't be the first example of a totaled car that doesn't reveal its damage to the naked eye - here's to hoping this vee-twelve monster can return to the road or that at least its 610 hp, 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) twin-turbo V12 is okay.
