BMW Korea announced Monday it will offer six limited-edition models online in November — three variants of the new BMW 7 Series First Edition and three Black Edition models — starting Tuesday at 3 p.m. through BMW Shop Online.

The First Edition lineup celebrates the launch of the new BMW 7 Series, the brand's first major refresh in four years. It comprises the new BMW 740 xDrive M Sport First Edition, the new BMW 740 xDrive Two-Tone First Edition and the new BMW i7 60 xDrive Two-Tone First Edition.

The Black Edition models add black exterior color and distinct design elements to high-performance variants of the 3 Series and i4. The three models are the BMW M340i Pro Black Edition, the BMW M340i xDrive Touring Pro Black Edition and the BMW i4 M60 xDrive Gran Coupe Pro Black Edition.

The 740 xDrive M Sport First Edition features a matte Frozen Space Silver Metallic exterior. Inside, it is fitted with BMW Individual Exclusive full Merino leather in Tartufo, a BMW Individual Exclusive interior in gray and an M Anthracite Alcantara headliner.

The 740 xDrive Two-Tone First Edition is based on the Pure Excellence trim. It features BMW Individual Two-Tone paint combining Oxide Gray II and Sapphire Black Metallic, along with 21-inch BMW Individual multi-spoke wheels. The interior is finished in full Merino leather in Smoke White with gray trim.

Both 740 xDrive models share a standard feature set that includes Executive Lounge seating, front and rear massage functions, a 31.3-inch BMW Theater Screen that unfolds from the ceiling, a digital interior mirror and a Panoramic Glass Roof Sky Lounge.

Both are powered by a twin-power turbocharged inline six-cylinder gasoline engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system and an eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. The powertrain produces 400 horsepower and peak torque of 59.1 kgf·m, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds. The models also come with BMW xDrive all-wheel drive, automatic ride-height adjustment and an adaptive two-axle air suspension with electronically controlled dampers.

Both models are limited to 15 units each. The M Sport First Edition is priced at 196.1 million won ($144,000), while the Two-Tone First Edition starts at 190.4 million won. Both prices include VAT.

The new BMW i7 60 xDrive Two-Tone First Edition is also based on the Pure Excellence trim. Its exterior carries the same Two-Tone paint combining Oxide Gray II and Sapphire Black Metallic, while the interior uses full Merino leather in Smoke White with gray trim. Depending on the package, it comes with either a Sport leather steering wheel or a BMW Individual steering wheel, and the interior trim is finished in Alcantara.

The i7 Two-Tone First Edition also includes Executive Lounge seating, a Panoramic Glass Roof Sky Lounge, an 8K BMW Theater Screen and a Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System with Dolby Atmos support.

The model is equipped with BMW xDrive electronic all-wheel drive, with electric motors on both the front and rear axles. Combined output stands at 544 horsepower with peak torque of 76.0 kgf·m, and it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds. BMW Korea said the Adaptive Chassis Control Professional system enables rapid body-attitude adjustments, improving both ride comfort and agility.
