The BMW X7 (G07) benefited from a mid-cycle facelift (LCI - Life Cycle Impulse) in late 2022. This facelift stands out with a controversial split-headlight front end and the integration of the large curved digital panel (BMW Curved Display) with the iDrive 8 system. As the flagship of the BMW SUV range, it offers 7 real seats and imperial ride comfort thanks to its standard air suspension. All engines now adopt mild hybridization (MHEV 48V) with an electric motor integrated into the 8-speed ZF gearbox. On the European market, the diesel version (xDrive40d) remains the most relevant engine to move the vehicle's 2.5 tonnes while controlling fuel consumption.
The facelifted BMW X7 (G07 LCI) is a pinnacle of luxury and comfort. If you reside in Europe, the xDrive40d diesel engine is undoubtedly the best choice. The B57 block is an engineering masterpiece that manages to move this behemoth with disconcerting ease while keeping fuel consumption under 9L/100km, all with first-rate mechanical reliability. The petrol versions (40i and M60i) are excellent but penalized by gargantuan fuel consumption. Be careful, however: the vehicle has undergone numerous electronic and safety recalls (notably on the braking system and the starter). It is crucial to demand a clear history from a BMW dealership confirming that all recall campaigns have been carried out before purchase.
