Right off the bat, this special 7 Series will catch any BMW fan’s eyes with its exclusive color known as Centennial Blue metallic. In addition to this special color, BMW Individual also adds in a set of lightweight, 20-inch, V-Spoke wheels and a signet on each B-pillar that reads “The Next 100 Years.”

Inside, the premium upgrades are even more prominent. Here, buyers will find Smoke White-colored Full-Merino leather on the seats, door panels, center console and more, raw, open-pore trim work, quilted seats, Piano Black finishes, “The Next 100 Years” signets on the headrests and above the glove box, and a BMW Individual steering wheel. Other premium features include ambient lighting, active seat ventilation, a rear-seat entertainment system, a removable 7-inch tablet, and more.

In the U.S., this Centennial Edition 7 Series will officially go by the name BMW Individual M760i xDrive Model V12 Excellence The Next 100 Years. The 760 part of the name indicates that this model will boast the largest engine of the new-generation 7 Series models, and it holds true to this naming scheme with a 6.6-liter V-12 powerplant. This massive engine uses M Twin Power Turbo technology to boost its output to an estimated 610 horsepower, which helps get this celebratory sedan to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds.

If you’re interested in this special sedan, you’d better get a move on it as there are only 100 units in the world and the U.S. will get just five examples of it. No pricing details are available yet.
