interior with seven-seat configuration, and high-end performance. Combining the exclusive ambience and comfort of the BMW 7 Series
with the energy and enthusiasm of a Sports Activity Vehicle; the BMW X7 is big enough to take you wherever your heart desires.

Recommended Retail Price includes 15% VAT, but excludes CO2 emmissions tax. The published fuel consumption and CO2 emission figures are established according to legislated technical
specifications (UNECE Regulation 101/UN Regulation 83 and SANS 20101 standards), which sets out the procedures that are used to measure the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption.
The claimed figures are established using specific tests under standardised, carefully controlled conditions and may differ from consumption achieved under real world conditions with the
influences of altitude, road surface, geographic conditions, vehicle options, temperature, humidity, tyres size and driving behaviour amongst others. Please contact your preferred authorized
BMW Retailer or BMW South Africa (Pty) Ltd. for information on vehicles that are available for sale, and the various specifications and options of vehicles that are available.
MODEL RANGE
The BMW X7 is available in three variants: the BMW X7 xDrive30d, BMW X7 M50d and M50i. Both the xDrive30d and M50d
are powered by a six-cylinder in-line diesel engine that delivers superior performance and torque with top speeds between
227 km/h and 250 km/h. All three variants’ configurations include BMW’s pioneering xDrive all-wheel-drive system and
sophisticated two-axle air suspension that allows the height of the BMW X7 to be adjusted up to 80 millimetres—for sheer
driving comfort no matter the conditions.
