The “Montblanc for BMW” Centennial Fountain Pen.
Montblanc and BMW have teamed up to create a fountain pen that underscores the uniqueness of the BMW Individual M760Li V12 THE NEXT 100 YEARS.

The “Montblanc for BMW” Centennial Fountain Pen follows the principles of the Maison Montblanc in terms of quality, styling and constant innovation. For more than 110 years now, the name Montblanc has been synonymous with writing culture and top-class workmanship. In collaboration with BMW’s design department, Montblanc has now developed this unique fountain pen, which is limited to 100 pieces and handed to every owner of the new BMW Individual 7 Series THE NEXT 100 YEARS model.

In addition to the above, the BMW Individual Design Composition includes the BMW Head-Up Display, Surround-view, the Sky Lounge Panoramic glass sunroof, front and rear Active seat ventilation, the Heat Comfort package and the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround sound system. Other standard features include Ambient Lighting, Welcome Light Carpet, the Executive Lounge, that provides the highest degree of individual well-being at the rear with a two-seat configuration for maximum comfort and Rear-seat entertainment Experience with BMW Touch Command features as standard on this model. The removable 7 inch tablet computer facilitates control of the infotainment and comfort functions available in the rear compartment of new BMW 7 Series and can also be used to play back external audio and video files, as a games console or to surf the Internet.

This limited edition model is based on the M760Li xDrive V12 engine providing stunning performance with exemplary refinement. With TwinPower Turbo technology incorporated from the M760Li xDrive V12 model, this M Performance engine produces 610hp and 800Nm of torque. It’s harnessed by a highly sophisticated chassis specifically tailored to the model, with Integral Active Steering as standard, and deployed to the road via BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system with a rear-bias for more dynamic handling.

The 6,592cc M Performance TwinPower Turbo 12-cylinder engine develops an output of 610hp at 5,500rpm and generates its peak torque of 800Nm from as low down as 1,500rpm. This enables the car to accelerate from zero to 62mph in just 3.7 seconds and on to a governed top speed of 155mph. It now also links up with the Auto Start-Stop function, which is just one measure that contributes to an impressive official combined fuel consumption figure of 22.4mpg and CO₂ emissions of 294g/km. The 12-cylinder engine layout traditionally enjoys an exclusive status above all others, providing a superb blend of performance and driving dynamics that BMW is renowned for.
