Bottom line: these were very expensive cars in the 80s.

The V12 block is NOT made of aluminum, but a nickel-silicon alloy. BMW needed something with increased strength and less weight than aluminum. The downside here is that the bores cannot be honed or machined. If the liners get scored, the entire block must be scrapped.

You're even stupider here than you are about cell phones.

An alloy of just nickel and silicon would be ridiculously heavy and bank-breakingly expensive. Is there anything else you know absolutely nothing about?

You don't need a $40k+ truck to out accelerate this car. A Corolla could do it for half the price. Let's keep it a fair competition. In 1988, the highest powered F150 you could buy was a 460 (7.5L V8) putting out around 230 hp but over 400 pounds of torque. Even so, the 750iL would both out accelerate the truck and dust it past 120 mph once the truck ran out of breath. The 750iL would continue to accelerate until it reached its 155 mile an hour electronically limited top speed. On the other hand, the 750iL isn't designed for heavy duty towing. Towing is essentially what your truck was built for, then as well as now.

And when you consider how much older the BMW is it still felt impressively solid and the tech is still useful.
