We have gotten to a point in our lives where the ultimate driving machine could be an SUV. Just look at all the available options! Gas-powered, hybrid, or all-electric, all respectable brands have an SUV in their portfolio. Some have even started focusing solely on high-riding vehicles. But when it comes to BMW, few things can be left to chance. So, can Larte improve an already great three-row V8-powered behemoth? Let's find out.
At the time of writing, a bare-bones (if we can even call it that) 2024 BMW X7 has a pre-tax and -fee starting price of $81,900. But the model you can admire in the photo gallery or by watching the video below is an X7 M60i. When an "M" appears after "BMW," an automatic price increase is already as clear as day.
The 2024 BMW X7 M60i has an MSRP of $108,700. Although high, this value does not include the usual taxes and fees. Moreover, it does not show the "adjusted market value." That's BMW's honest way of saying that its dealers have the last word regarding pricing. Thus, customers might have to deal with a markup.
Larte's X7 M60i is a three-row six-seater SUV, which translates into an added cost of around X. Thus, the made-in-Spartanburg SUV will have an MSRP of at least $121,550. That value includes the Frozen Pure Grey Metallic color, the Ivory White/Atlas Grey Full Merino upholstery, the carbon fiber interior trim, the Bowers & Wilkins sound system, the trailer hitch, and the second-row captain's chairs.
However, Larte took the already good-looking X7 M60i and made it better. The SUV looks like it would be Batman's choice for a car after he married and started a family. And how could he not choose it, since it is so enchanting!
The dual-tone paint makes the posh vehicle look mysterious and improves its grand silhouette. The contrast between the wheels, the black trim surrounding the undersides, and the top half of this particular X7 is what dreams are made of. The SUV looks menacing but not mischievous. It's the picture I imagine we find in a dictionary as support for better understanding the word "brilliance."

The use of gloss and matte black is also something that just works together with the tinted windows and M-specific carbon fiber side mirrors. And, yes, the forged wheels include inserts made of the same organic polymer as well!
Larte's carbon fiber hood creates a haven for the humongous grill, and the extended front lip takes your eyes away from the split headlights that may remind Europeans of Skoda crossovers and Americans or Canadians of Hyundai SUVs.
Everything's a bit exaggerated with the X7 because it is enormous, but this body kit helps it achieve an improved look that gives the vehicle a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. It's a win.
Finally, Larte doesn't make parts pricing public. If you want this body kit or just some parts of it, you'll have to talk with one of their advisors. You'll know the cost only after the order is crystal clear. However, expect a price of around $16,000 or more for the entire kit.
Car shows on TV and his father's Fiat Tempra may have been Florin's early influences, but nowadays he favors different things, like the power of an F-150 Raptor. He'll never be able to ignore the shape of a Ferrari though, especially a yellow one. Full profile
