BMW and Montblanc launch the “Montblanc for BMW” Special Edition in the U.S. at Pebble Beach.

Woodcliff Lake, NJ – August 16, 2016 . . . Coinciding with last year’s launch of the all-new 2016 BMW 7 Series, BMW and Montblanc proudly present a special collaboration between the two world-famous premium brands: the “Montblanc for BMW” Special Edition, a collection of lifestyle accessories designed specifically for the 2016 BMW 7 Series.

Now available in the U.S. the “Montblanc for BMW” Special Edition will be presented during Monterey Car Week at BMW’s Villa at Pebble Beach. The collection is inspired by the spirit of innovation and heritage of sophistication that unite the luxury Maison and the dynamic automaker. The customized leather goods and writing instruments created for this special collection seamlessly combine some of Montblanc’s most iconic designs with details inspired by the new BMW 7 Series.

“There’s a lot of symmetry between our brands, which makes this collaboration very natural,” said Eric Riehle, Accessory and Lifestyle Manager at BMW of North America. “The Montblanc for BMW Special Edition collection is the perfect accompaniment to our flagship BMW 7 Series sedan and we are happy to offer it to customers in the U.S.”

“Montblanc for BMW” Special Edition will be available for purchase through your local BMW Center and will be on display at select BMW locations, as well as in four Montblanc Boutiques: Yorkdale (CAN), Houston, Miami Aventura and New York Madison Ave. The collection can also be purchased online at the Montblanc website.

All we want is that limited edition //M tattoo gun.

bunker · 08-16-2016, 02:55 PM

my word I need all of those things.

...or not.

VWtoBMW · 08-16-2016, 04:10 PM

On the FB page someone said its pointless blah blah

I don't think this is pointless. I have a gold Montblanc pen that I have had for 25 years. Got it for my high school grad. I still use it every day. Although I haven't ordered a 2016 7 yet, as I will hold onto my F01 for another year at least since I have the 7/100mi warranty, I would still love to have one of those pens. Ok I admit to being a snob for certain things.... Cars, shoes, pens, watch, belt, etc but you gotta enjoy the little things that bring a smile or else what's the point ??

Never had the taste for fancy pens, but that centennial pen makes me want to buy a 7 series just so I can have one...

08njSTEP · 08-16-2016, 07:20 PM

I like pens, I can see the value. I have a Lamy that looks just like a BMW ball point. Its metal instead of plastic and a beautiful instrument.

But.....deep black precious resin? So it's plastic. FAIL!!!

There are some amazing artists in the pen game, and some fountain pens go for BIG money(over $100k) but they aren't made of plastic.

Sassicaia · 08-16-2016, 07:43 PM

Ill say this.

I wish BMW partnered with a quality leather goods brand (like Mont Blanc) to make all their leather key covers. They quality of their standard offerings are just crap. I'd happily pay a premium to get premium. If only BMW had some clue their customers felt that way...mmmmm

Needsdecaf · 08-16-2016, 09:02 PM

$780 for a plastic fountain pen.

A fool and his money......

You are buying "Ultimate writing machine".

classyfast · 08-16-2016, 10:56 PM

Great now people know you are an asshole before they see you driving in your BMW! Lol.

Just messing, I don't mess fountain pens but I do have a Montblanc I got from my dad about 10 years ago and it's great and all but I get more use from from my Pilot Precise v5 gel!!

raysspl · 08-16-2016, 11:33 PM

LOLL I guess...

DarkstarZero · 08-17-2016, 12:14 AM

Car branded everyday items are stupid.

If you want something branded with a car company to be accepted, and wanted, it has to synonymous with the brand. For BMW it's power, driving, engineering.

I would absolutely buy an in-part BMW designed riding lawn mower, or diesel generator, or car seat, or running stroller.

I have no interest in a BMW branded pen, or fannypack, or notebook. Though I do own BMW cufflinks as an over-the-top joke.

For a nice pen, I think of precision which makes me think of swiss watch makers, not a fat 7 series.

a90 · 08-17-2016, 02:45 PM

Expensive kids I guess..

ken1137 · 08-18-2016, 08:30 AM

Meh, I had one. Great pens,but I lost it. I lose pens all the time. Looks pretty though ?

Efthreeoh · 08-20-2016, 07:37 AM

I bought a Surefire EWP-03 pen... it's cool and at least you can kill people with it.
