My name is Vincent, I’m from Belgium. I’ve been connected with BMW for many years — for me, it’s more than just a brand, it’s part of my lifestyle. I spend most of my free time around cars, motorsport, and the BMW community. There has always been more than one car in my garage, and each of them reflects a different mood and character.
Choosing the BMW i7 was a conscious decision. I was curious to experience what an electric flagship could be: quiet, powerful, and technologically advanced. Visually, however, the car felt too neutral. Elegant — yes. Modern — absolutely. But it lacked character and visual confidence.

Why LARTE Design
Why LARTE Design
I was already familiar with LARTE Design’s projects. Their approach resonated with me — not simply decorating a car, but working with its proportions and overall image. That’s exactly why I decided to contact them directly.
The entire project was handled by my manager, Valeria. Our communication was open, direct, and honest — without formalities or pressure. We discussed ideas, details, and possible solutions, and I quickly realized that I could trust her vision.
We chose a full carbon styling package, designed to give the BMW i7 more expression, structure, and visual balance.

Process and project development
Process and project development
I left the car with the LARTE team for several days for installation and content production. Everything went smoothly and professionally. The carbon elements integrated perfectly into the architecture of the i7, making the overall look more sporty and confident.
This project turned out to be more than a one-time experience — it became the start of a deeper collaboration. During the process, I ordered a carbon hood for my BMW X5, which was the next car in my garage. At the same time, we began discussing a styling kit for the BMW X7, which I plan to purchase in the near future.
In addition, I own a BMW M2, and I regularly return to the idea of creating a dedicated project for it — I’m curious to see how LARTE would interpret the character of that model.

Result
Result
My BMW i7 now looks completely different from a standard electric luxury sedan. Carbon added aggression, contrast, and individuality. The car became more sporty and muscular — without losing its elegance.
For me, this project confirmed that the right design approach naturally makes you want to go further. When you find a team that understands both cars and people, collaboration naturally extends beyond just one vehicle.
