Is the BMW X7 M considered for production?

The upcoming BMW X7’s production has not yet started in Spartanburg. Sources say that BMW M is looking into a business case to create an X7 M but there is no final decision on it yet. If green lighted, it will be built using BMW’s largest rear-wheel-drive platform but with available four-wheel drive. It will also have cutting-edge connectivity, driver-assistance, and infotainment systems.

For the interior, the production version of the BMW X7 will be the most luxurious model of the brand. We can expect that this will be even more luxurious than the 7 Series. It will seat seven people comfortably, plus a large volume boot. There will also be ultra-luxurious four-seat versions available.

The BMW G07 X7 will feature the suspension and running gear of the new X5 and X6, although the flagship X could also sell a version with rear-wheel drive as well as intelligent xDrive.

If the standard X7 will be powered by a combination of six and eight cylinder engines, the X7 is likely to be powered by the same unit as the upcoming F90 M5. The updated 4.4 liter V8 TwinTurbo unit has been optimized to deliver maximum power at a wider rpm range, yet the power won’t exceed by much the 600 hp mark. For the M5, the sources say a 620 hp figure is definitely achievable, but won’t confirm the final power output. A 6.0 liter V12 tuned by the M Division would be everyone’s dream, but considering BMW’s strategy to downsize their engine lineup, this will be an unrealistic expectation.
