To commemorate its centenary year, BMW is constructing 100 separately numbered, hand-finished 7 Series sedans.
The BMW Individual 7 Series The Next 100 Years, to provide the car its full name, will be provided in two- or four-wheel drive and having three engine choices– 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo V8, plug-in hybrid, or monstrous 6.6-liter TwinPower Turbo V12. Exactly what’s more, no matter powertrain choice, each example will include a special pen.
BMW has commissioned Montblanc to develop a centennial fountain pen for each owner that uses some of the same design functions, materials and paint surfaces that will embellish the automobile to guarantee a specific fit.
Such a gesture could seem gimmicky however BMW has a flourishing bespoke vehicle business complete with a devoted group of craftspeople that develop unique variants of the marque’s designs under the ‘Individual’ brand.
The concept behind the model, its functions, and its totally free pen is to honor the old-world concept of high-end and marry it with the newest technologies and innovations– such as remote-controlled parking or gear modifications decided autonomously through a GPS system– that will come to specify the future of convenience and exclusivity.
So along with advanced infotainment, connection and motorist safety and assistance systems, each unit will have every devices requirements the company provides as conventional, consisting of a panoramic glass roofing system– the car’ interior is finished almost totally on the other hand black and “smoke White” fine-grain Merino leather.
The seats are joined with hand-woven piping where as the floor mats and seat belts are developed from Alcantara. The surfaces not dressed in leather are instead completed with piano black wood veneer.
The car’s exterior boasts an unique centennial blue paint surface, forged light-weight 20-inch alloy wheels with a V-spoke design and handmade badges.
The last touch is a plaque signifying the model’s example number in between one and 100, on the center console’s cup holder cover.
