Visually, the car looks every bit a product of the M family thanks to the M Sport package and design characteristics. While the signature kidney grille and the headlamps are similar to the ones seen in the regular 7 Series sedan, the front bumper is new and features a larger three-part air intake, which is almost as wide as the width of the car. There are chrome accents both above and below the air intake and horizontal LED lights on either end acting as fog lamps. The M760Li also comes with new 20-inch M double-spoke 760 M alloy wheels, the M logo and the V12 badge on the profile, and a new quad exhaust system with twin pipes on either end.

The car comes with a headliner in Alcantara design along with door sill finishers in Aluminium high finish with illuminated V12 insignia. There are premium wooden inlays for the seat-belt outlets, armrests and roof handle in the rear and a BMW-style leather-wrapped steering wheel. Also when the ignition is turned on, the centre of the instrument cluster displays the V12 logo adding to the overall design and styling.
