Thumbs up VORSTEINER: F01 (New 7 Series!) O M G!

The new 7 has much to be desired: state of the art electronics, superb chassis, Dynamic Drive Control with optional Adaptive Drive, 4-zone automatic air conditioning, telecommunication and navigation systems, a USB port, an 80 GB hard disc for navigation data and music collection, a multi-channel audio system, a DAB double tuner, a DVD entertainment system at the rear, a Head-Up Display, etc. BUT... The look is more evolutionary than revolutionary. Which can be a good thing but not necessarily flattering to all. I for one have been up close and personal inside and out while servicing my own 750i. The interior is gorgeous and purpose-built. Now the exterior is nice but not striking.
Enter VORSTEINER and their exquisite yet subtle and very tasteful modification options for the BMW... In this case, the F01 fore mentioned. The large grill gets tamed by a simple matte-black paint job. And of course the rest of the car is already quite nice. Yet still, they manage to really accentuate the lines and thrust it into a super-sexy sedan IMHO:









Optional Wheels:

I think it looks better stock. And these optional wheels, I hope they are a bad joke.

I like it. Much better than the regular 7 series look, but i'd never buy a BMW unless I got a CRAZY deal that no one would even believe...

did that company really fit a 7 series with black wheels??????????? I would do the optional silver wheels. But in the end it still looks like any other 7 series you would see in Scottsdale or Beverly Hills.

I like it because it's simple. Forged monoblock wheels for strength and no extra vents where it's not needed. I give it a


The featured BMW 750i is equipped with 21 inch Vorsteiner V-102 Forged Monoblock wheels highlighting a concave split five-spoke design that extends to the outer edge of the wheel, which continues to exemplify Vorsteiner’s goal to create a stature of sportiness. The front and rear wheel dimensions are more assertive and measure in at 21" x 9" (front) and 21" x 10.5” (rear). The wheels shown are fitted with Vorsteiner recommended Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires. Tire Specs come in at 255/30-21 for the front and 285/30-21 for the rear. The stance of the vehicle was further enhanced by H&R’s super sport suspension package, lowering it by 48 mm.

The V-102 is available in the following finishes:

• Brushed Aluminum
• Chrome
• Gunmetal
• Black
• Silver
• Textured Black
• Texture Gunmetal

Looks very nice in this shot, but with this lowered suspension its kind of defeating the purpose of Luxury sedan. Not my cup of tea, I'd much prefer factory stock 7 series.
