Same silhouette, same palette, same options ticked in the configurator. In the executive sedan segment \u2014 where the competition is equally uniform \u2014 standing out takes more than a color change. German studio LARTE Design has been chipping away at that problem for a while, and their latest build for the G70 760i is probably their most visually specific yet: a full body kit finished in deep violet pre-preg carbon fiber.<\/p>\n<p>The renders tell the story better than any spec sheet. LARTE has matched the violet carbon against a white base car, and the contrast is sharper than you\u2019d expect from a tuning kit. The weave pattern is visible right through the color, which makes it read as a material rather than a finish. Up front, the lip and mirror caps pull focus without overwhelming the 7\u2019s grille design. Out back, the diffuser and spoiler make the rear end look even more impressive. This isn\u2019t a subtle build, but that\u2019s exactly what some customers want.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/larte-design-bmw-7-series-02.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-512251\" title=\"LARTE DESIGN BMW 7 SERIES 02\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/larte-design-bmw-7-series-02-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"LARTE DESIGN BMW 7 SERIES 02\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/larte-design-bmw-7-series-02-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/larte-design-bmw-7-series-02-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/larte-design-bmw-7-series-02-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/larte-design-bmw-7-series-02-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/larte-design-bmw-7-series-02.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 7 Series is a technically exceptional car,\u201d LARTE says. \u201cOur role is not to improve it \u2014 it is to make it unmistakably individual. The violet carbon is not a color choice. It is an engineering decision that reflects a specific standard of ownership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That engineering distinction is worth understanding. The violet pigment isn\u2019t painted on, and it isn\u2019t film. It\u2019s worked into the carbon fiber structure during manufacturing, before the parts are autoclave-cured under T\u00dcV-certified conditions at LARTE\u2019s facility in Germany. The color lives inside the material rather than on top of it \u2014 which gives it a depth a wrap can\u2019t replicate, along with proper UV stability over time. LARTE claims this is a first for structural color carbon in this vehicle class,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/larte-design-bmw-7-series-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-512252\" title=\"LARTE DESIGN BMW 7 SERIES 03\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/larte-design-bmw-7-series-03-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"LARTE DESIGN BMW 7 SERIES 03\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/larte-design-bmw-7-series-03-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/larte-design-bmw-7-series-03-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/larte-design-bmw-7-series-03-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/larte-design-bmw-7-series-03-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/larte-design-bmw-7-series-03.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The design logic behind the color pairing is deliberate too. White defines the 7 Series\u2019 architectural volume; the violet carbon is meant to draw attention to specific geometry \u2014 the hood line, skirt profile, diffuser plane \u2014 rather than making the car louder as a whole. The result, as LARTE puts it, is a car that reads as more precise, not more aggressive.<\/p>\n<p>The kit itself covers seven components: front bumper overlay, side skirts, wheel overlays, trunk spoiler, rear bumper diffuser and integrated brake lights. Everything mounts to OEM points \u2014 no drilling, no sensor interference, no issues with BMW\u2019s driver assistance systems. The 760i\u2019s 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 (544 hp, 750 Nm) is untouched, and factory warranty compatibility holds.<\/p>\n<p>Orders are open globally. LARTE adapts each build individually \u2014 carbon shade, component selection and contrast level \u2014 with concept renders and a full spec delivered within 24 hours of enquiry.
