X7 [Official] BMW X7 (G07)

[Centurion]

Mean muggin'.....yeah, I like the M-sport now.

Same here but non-M spec is delicious too. This car seriously looks seriously good in almost any spec or colour.

I would pull my hair out trying to choose. In all honest it and the 8-Series deserve individual colours. However their added cost can be a hard pill to swallow on a car that will depreciate like any other mass produced car.

You can’t go wrong with blue on a BMW.

Definitely. I'd still prefer a Pure Excellence spec with those multi spoke wheels. I think that spec tends to stand the test of time a little better. Looking forward to see an Alpina-fettered X7, especially in Alpina green.

What color is this? Not available in the states!

Phytonic Blue

I think it is, it's M-Sport spec specific (say that 5 times real fast.)

Unfortunately BMW doesn't put enough effort into designing worthy M-Sport alternatives. With the X7 they have as the Pure Excellence trim is sophisticated and striking.

I always think of myself as a minority of people who like chrome/silver highlights on BMWs. IMO they offer best of both worlds, sportiness of a BMW with a sprinkle of Mercedes glamour.

When I bought an SUV in 2016 I was lucky that the LCI xLine trim of the F25 was a huge improvement on the pre-LCI. Because it's rare to see a BMW in a luxurious instead of a sporty spec, I get lots of compliments for my car. The xLine trim, exterior paint, cream interior and the diamond cut alloys work very well together.

Unfortunately the xLine trim for the G01 is more rugged than elegant. If there was a Pure Excellence trim I would have chosen it but instead I have had to settle for M-Sport with alloys that are just ok.

Anyway here is my F25. I had the alloys refurbished on my driveway today ahead of handing it back before the end of summer.

I tried that on the configurato

I had trouble saying it once. No blue options on-line for the X7 in the states from what I can see, even when choosing m-sport guise. Maybe the site is not up to date?

I'm right there with you. I am over Shadowline and everything black...I'm getting older, and trying to look the part of a bad-ass just feels silly. With regards to BMW's use of chrome, I think they are right at the edge of looking classy and looking garish. Sometimes though, with their bigger grilles, I feel they teeter into overboard territory. I know it's a few years out of vogue, but I still wish that brushed nickel was used more often for trims. Maybe upkeep may have been a deterrent.

The M40i models have that effect on wing mirrors and front bumper accents.

Cerium Grey for all M Performance models.

For what it is, I like the Cerium Gray trim, but it still feels painted on.

Well, I'll be...Just visited bmwusa dot com, and no Phytonic Blue. I guess last time I tinkered on an X7 configurator, it was the international BMW website. I am surprised by the lack of selection. Looks like BMW is really pushing buyers to really open up their wallets for something more diverse from their Individual paint palette.

 

[nikola1984]

Probably Alpina

 

[hovabongZA]

Can someone post a picture of a bare bones/standard trim X7 similar to this GLS ? All the X7s look highly specced in comparison in any trim.

 

[SCOTT27]

Probably Alpina

Or PHEV.

 

[hovabongZA]

They are in SA now M50d.

 

[SCOTT27]

An Armoured X7 Security is being worked on.

So the M50i is now available or at least for the Chinese market? They are skipping the 50i all together.
