The grey exterior trim is standard on the newer M Performance models (same on M550i) and has now extended to pretty much all elements that are normally chrome, black or silver: grille surround, bumper trim, wheels (usually optional), side mirror caps, air breathers, exhaust pipes (on 7 Series but usually black), badges, side and boot lid trim bars (7 Series). The window trim however remains black.

I've looked in the brochure and the only upgrade to the standard wheel seems to be a wooden one ( which this one clearly isn't )
Unlike other BMWs, the M Sport 7 Series retains the normal non M Sport steering wheel, which you've probably seen in the brochure, or the optional Individual wheel. The M Performance version though just had to come with BMW's newer M Sport steering wheel.
