BMW China presented a special edition of the flagship
sedan, called the 7-Series Black Fire, based on the outgoing iteration. Limited to 150 units and all of
them aimed at the Asian country, this 7er features a dark look all around, with
glossy accents in the grille, contrasted by the dual-tone 20-inch wheels and
blue brake calipers.
The interior eschews from the sinister look and
combines black and red leather with piano trim. The ‘Edition Black Fire’
lettering found on the dashboard, right in front of the passenger, is another
special touch, along with the Bowers & Wilkins premium sound system and
color-adjustable ambient lighting.
Needless to say that the 7-Series Black Fire Edition
is jammed with a lot of equipment. The 10.25-inch LCD touchscreen display with
split-screen function, full-color head-up display, 360-degree camera system,
self-parking system and others will make journeys more pleasant.
The limited edition model is based on the 740Li
xDrive version. This means that it uses a 3.0-liter petrol engine that’s good
for 326 PS and 450 Nm of torque, which helps it
hit 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds.
We couldn’t find any pricing details, but the
7-Series Black Fire Edition is obviously more expensive than the standard 740Li
xDrive, which starts from 1,218,000 yen in the People’s Republic, equal to US$ 157,872 at today’s exchange rates.
