BMW is flaunting its customization skills with two new special edition 7 Series models.

The German luxury brand will build six examples of the “Solitaire Edition” 7 Series, while just one example of the “Master Class Edition” will be built. To highlight the exterior of each car, Metallic Black Gold and Metallic Solitaire White will be used for paint, both of which will have a fine glass flake embedded to give a deeper glossy look.

Chrome plaques located on the C-pillar of the cars will bear special lettering to let people know that these cars are something special.

Inside is where these models really shine, thanks to plenty of luxurious materials including an Alcantara roof liner, lambskin floor mats, Alcantara cushions and fine-grain Merino leather. Some of the nicer upgrades include color-matching leather tissue holders in the doors, a bar compartment with tulip sparkling wine glasses and integrated cooler and optional diamond inserts located in the doors and dashboard trim.

An individual key box is also available from BMW, made from piano black trim and lined with Alcantara. The box can even have a diamond inlay like the interior trim.

Under the hood of these special edition models is a turbocharged V8 that makes 450 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, allowing the sedan to jump to 62 mph in 4.7 seconds. All four wheels receive power thanks to BMW’s xDrive system.
