BMW 7-Series M Sport Package: First Official Photos Surface

BMW 7-Series M Sport Package - med res

Aggressive looks, inside and out

Official photos of BMW's upcoming 7-Series M-sport package have surfaced online.

While the package doesn't include the X6 M's 555 hp 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, it boasts several unique styling accessories which help to differentiate it from standard models. Key exterior design differences include more aggressive front and rear bumpers, "shadowline" trim around the windows, additional chrome detailing, and a set of M-design wheels.

Although the single interior image doesn't provide many details, we can clearly see the most dominate trait of the M-sport package is a large expanse of aluminum trim on the dash. Other changes appear to include aggressively bolstered sports seats and a new M steering wheel.

Look for the M-sport package to be unveiled with the new 306 hp 3.0-liter biturbo diesel 740d, with availability for all 7's shortly thereafter.

I like the new 7-series anyway but this M-Sport package adds another far edgier dimension to it. Looks powerful and a little more aggressive but still classy and somewhat understated. Very nice BMW but where is the M7?

I think the chrome is an interesting touch. Maybe LED running lights in the trend-du-jour would have been nice in that place. Still, I wish I didn't have to pay off MBA loans so I could nab one. Saw it at the auto show and it looks soooo much sleeker in person. Really like the wheels as well. Good job bmw.

i thought tuning firms like AMG and bmw's M where about the proformance not the bling this is pointless.

Not a big fan of the blotchy chrome either. Narco might have a point with the LEDs. And why can't BMW get the 7's arse right? Not elegant....disturbing.

Although I am not a big fan of "shawdoline" trim, it does look good on a black vehicle such as the one in the photos. Exterior chrome bits are interesting. The entire combination looks understated and a bit sinister.

What's with the chrome accents on the front bumper? There is no way for BMW to hide that hideous pig nostril. Actually I think the normal 7 looks better than this...

That looks pretty good, a huge improvement over the stock version.

Very nice looking car. I think this car has the most beautiful rear-end in all BMW 7-series.

besides the chrome (i dont like) and the rims i cant see nothing special. the rest is the normal shadow-line option.

honestly it does look the same in certain things, but in all honestt it kinda looks like a baby kitten that one second can be predictable and the same, but then at any moment surprise you and slip out some claws.
