Can you link these reviews. The reviews I have found online for the BMW 5 Series GT and the 760 both seem to indicate good performance.

The 3.0 Supercharged engine is super sweet and plenty fast. 7 speed S Tronic is VERY nice too. I've driven the V8 with a 6 speed, and they're MUCH more thirsty. Obviously the 2.0T would be more economical, and would be my choice over the 3.2 naturally aspirated V6.

Between the V6 and 2.0T, if you don't mind mildly modding your cars, you could install an APR or GIAC chip into the 2.0T which will bump up the performance to essentially match the 3.2 V6. If you're comfortable with a chip (which is VERY reliable), than this is the route you should go.

In the end, you should make sure to get all the features you want and the exact color combo you want. If you don't get something you want, you'll likely regret it after a few months.
Does it really improve the speed? This website say that most don't. I am so confused =/
