However not even they could have had a BMW 7 Series on their hands and mistreated it in their usual fashion.

Words like subtle and discrete may be a little to ambitious, but it’s not so bad that you couldn’t use words like “not hideous”.

That may have been a little mean. Or not, I really think it’s a deserved description for the large luxury barge that is the F01.

On the brighter side, the Mansory BMW 7 Series still looks mostly like an actual 7 Series, so not all has been lost with this particular model.

The Swedish tuner only focuses on the big time models such as the 750i and 760i. Even so, there’s a couple of upgrades going on in the engine department.

Should your heart desire for the V8 you’ll be getting 490 instead of 400 horsepower.

If the V12 flavor is what’s captivating your soul, the news is even better, 544 hp is turned into 640. All that added power will make the Mansory BMW 760i capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 in just 4.2 seconds.

Not bad really, especially when you consider the new set of 22″ wheels they fit isn’t aimed at performance but looks.

Those who appreciate the interior of such an image machine more than the exterior or performance will be glad to know Mansory opted for the best materials to garnish it with.

There’s stuff like burl wood, leather or ultra-suede. Carbon fiber is the only stuff that doesn’t really fit in.

Meanwhile, the power obsessed Germans at G-Power tuning are still telling us about how great their Storm conversion for the 760i is.

Whereas most tuners would keep things dignified and the visual mods to a minimum, G-Power simply did what they felt was needed.

The end result is rather startling. The once elegant and very simply styled BMW 760i now seems to have taken the appearance of a Hulk-like limo.

It now has a front end that’s ungainly covered with grilles and vents and oh boy have they done a number on the bonnet.

The new vents and louvres in that mix brilliantly with the styling tweaks they’ve made to the side and rear of the car.

What should be pointed out is that the G-Power BMW 760i gets all these styling changes in order to refine the aerodynamics and high speed stability.

This is because under the bonnet we now find a twin-turbo V12 with 725 horsepower and up to 921 lb-ft of torque. Obviously that power has an effect on performance.

Even though you’re dealing with a luxury sedan that weighs in around the 2 tonne figure, the 0 to 62 time is 4.2 seconds and the top speed figure is 214 mph.

That set of numbers kind of explains why G-Power is calling this tuned up BMW 760 Li a Storm.
