This is usually achieved thanks to the length of the vehicle, the badge on the back and keeping it as clean as a whistle.

The Germans at Tuningwerk disagree. Either that or they’ve developed a version of the 7 Series that’s aimed at drug dealers and hip hop videos.

They may have painted it black and gone for a “murdered” appeal but this isn’t the sort of car you’d lose in a parking lot. It’s the long wheelbase Li version of the 740i to begin with.

Tuningwerk fitted a new bodykit all around which is made out of carbon fiber and 20 inch alloy wheels wrapped in high-performance Pirelli P-Zero tires. That sound great for performance, not so great for quietness.

So far we’re not looking at too much of a BMW 7 Series tune-up I don’t approve of. What the German tuner did to the 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8 is somewhat heart changing.

The standard 407 horsepower is upgraded to either 530 horsepower and 545 lb-ft of torque (in the GT Edition) or 720 horsepower and 803 lb-ft of torque in the RS Edition.

With those sort of figures, the new tires and the slightly lighter body the 0 to 62 figure drops to 4.2 seconds and 3.5 seconds respectively. Much of the same happens with the top speed figure.

Having removed the limiter the Tuningwerk BMW 7 Series will hit either 193 mph or 217 mph. I just might forgive the rather edgy exterior for these specs.
