Grigio Telesto is a Lamborghini color, so it’s not very likely to end up on other cars. Yet, in the past, we’ve seen several BMW cars painted in the beautiful grey shade, from the i8 to the M3 Sedan. And today, at the 2018 New York Auto Show, another BMW features the Grigio Telesto paint.
The top model in the 7 Series family – M760Li – has received the BMW Individual treatment turning the luxury high-performance sedan into quite a looker. Not that it needs a new color to stand out, since the M760Li is mostly praised for its driving experience and the tech found aboard.
Setting the M760Li apart visually from the regular 7 Series models is a standard M aerodynamic package with redesigned bumpers, a matte grey finish for the grille and other exterior elements, bespoke 20-inch wheels and a distinctive V12 badge. Features like the M Sport brakes with blue calipers and an M Sport exhaust with four trapezoidal shaped chromed exhaust pipes remind us that this is a special 7 Series.
