There are cars that are considered ‘drift worthy’ and there are those that don’t fall into that category.

As far as we’re concerned, the 2010 BMW 7-Series falls into the latter group.

Obviously, this is of our own opinion, but we believe that the 7-Series – luxury car that it is – deserves to be treated as such. That means it should be driven in parties, gala events, and church on Sundays.

Racing and drifting it on a long stretch of road is not the kind of thin we’d want to do with our 7-Series, but that nonetheless hasn’t stopped these people from doing exactly that. Judging by their performance, we’re pretty sure that these guys are not professional drifters and they’re doing it just for the adrenaline rush. While we’re not opposed to thrill-seeking endeavours, especially drifting, we think that there are far more appropriate cars to use than a BMW 7-Series.

Even if most people want it, BMW decided not to offer a M7 version for the new generation 7-Series. Instead they are offering a M-Sport package for it. But how about the customers that bought the car before this package has started to be offered? Well, they have the change to go to European Auto Source (EAS) and install their own version of the M-Sport package.

It includes: an M-Sport front bumper with matte black trimming, 21″ alloy wheels finished in matte black, a rear diffuser, body-colored door handles and trunk trim, and matte black finish for the front kidney grille and side trim.
