Larte Design’s Philosophy: Why Settle for Ordinary?
Aesthetic Enhancements: A Bold New Look
- Front Bumper Enhancements: A prominent chin spoiler and front bumper overlays add a muscular, almost X7 M-like vibe, despite no full-blown X7 M existing. The splitter enhances aerodynamics without sacrificing ground clearance, and carbon fiber accents frame the iconic kidney grille.
- Custom Hood: The redesigned hood, available in carbon fiber or basalt fiber composite, features aggressive fins and additional air intakes to improve cooling for the V8 engine. A unique rainwater drainage system adds both form and function. For a subtler look, Larte offers a body-colored hood option.
- Side Sills and Mirror Caps: Custom side sills and carbon fiber mirror caps enhance the X7’s sleek profile, emphasizing its sporty character.
- Rear Diffuser and Spoiler: A carbon fiber rear diffuser with a naked carbon look and a larger roof spoiler contribute to a sportier rear aesthetic, complementing the vehicle’s dynamic stance.
2. Dual-Tone and Color Options – Larte Design often showcases the X7 in striking color schemes, such as Frozen Pure Grey Metallic with matte black and glossy accents, creating a high-contrast, two-tone look that sets it apart from standard models. Another notable example is a silver-to-dark-blue transformation with glossy black accents, highlighting the tuner’s ability to personalize the vehicle’s appearance. These color choices, combined with carbon fiber elements, give the X7 a predatory, almost cinematic presence—described by some as looking like a “Predator in a carbon fiber trenchcoat.”
3. Forged Wheels – Larte equips the X7 with custom-forged wheels, available in sizes from 21 to 23 inches. These lightweight, durable wheels often feature carbon blades or multi-spoke designs, with some sporting BMW’s anniversary emblems on the center caps. The wheels are designed to complement the body kit, enhancing the SUV’s aggressive stance. Customers can choose between different styles, such as five-spoke or Y-spoke patterns, to suit their preferences.
Interior: A Missed Opportunity?One area where Larte Design’s X7 modifications are less prominent is the interior. While the stock BMW X7 M60i boasts a luxurious cabin with premium materials, a 14.9-inch curved infotainment display, and optional features like Merino leather upholstery, Larte’s tuning kits don’t typically include interior upgrades. Some speculate that custom upholstery or bespoke embossing could elevate the project further, but Larte’s focus remains on exterior transformation. For those seeking a fully customized experience, aftermarket interior specialists could complement Larte’s work.
Customer Experience and Global Reach – Larte Design’s commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in their personalized service. Each client is assigned a personal manager to coordinate customization, from selecting components to arranging global shipping from Germany. The company’s website features testimonials from owners worldwide, including Gytis from Lithuania, who transformed his X7 60i into a head-turning masterpiece, and Danny R Bear from Germany, who described his Larte-tuned X6 as the “coolest SUV on the planet.” These reviews highlight the quality of materials, ease of installation, and the transformative impact of Larte’s kits.
