Exterior design a showcase of special project BMW Individual elements
The BMW X7 Dark Shadow Edition premieres BMW Individual special project offerings.
The BMW Individual Frozen Arctic Grey metallic paintwork provides a powerful finish while complementing the V-Spoke 22-inch light alloy wheels in Jet Black matt finish. BMW Individual High-Gloss Shadow Line with extended contents replace the chrome finishers to deliver a heightened visual impression. Sun protection glazing enhances the dramatic exterior aesthetic while providing additional privacy for rear seat passengers. The iconic M Sport brake callipers finished in blue combine with the blue-hued X design feature of the BMW Laserlight system to provide a dynamic contrast.
Interior delivers style, luxury and a sense of occasion
The X7 Dark Shadow Edition cabin is characterised by premium materials and design elements unique to the model.
It features luxurious BMW Comfort Seats upholstered in supple two-tone full leather Merino Night Blue/Black and high-end quilted patterns. The cockpit horizon, which reflects the rich deep hues of a darkened sky, is framed by an instrument panel upper section and upper door surfaces finished in BMW Individual Walknappa leather Night Blue. The BMW Individual Alcantara headliner in matching Night Blue shade provides a progressive alternative to conventional offerings while adding another level of sophistication. Precisely crafted aluminium inlays adorn the BMW Individual ‘Fineline Black’ interior surface – a first for BMW X7 – to provide a seamless aesthetic by unifying the two materials as one. BMW’s signature CraftedClarity crystal glass treatment is applied to the gearshift selector, iDrive controller and Start/Stop button. An ‘Edition Dark Shadow’ signet on the centre console provides confirms the model’s exclusivity while adding a premium finishing touch.
The BMW X7: acclaimed flagship
The X7 Dark Shadow Edition provides additional aesthetic appeal and equipment to a vehicle already acclaimed for its first-class comfort, superior ride and handling characteristics and comprehensive level of standard equipment.
Both X7 Dark Shadow Edition powertrains deliver exceptional performance, efficiency and smoothness that complement the vehicle’s flagship positioning. The 3.0 litre 6-cylinder turbo diesel of the xDrive30d M Sport delivers 195kW and 620Nm, while the 4.4 litre 8-cylinder twin-turbo petrol engine of the flagship M50i produces 390kW and 750Nm.
