The BMW X7 M50i is quick.  The 4.4-liter turbocharged V-8 under the hood, it is also geared for a far faster pace than life.  It is all about the motor. It is quick off the mark, quick to change gears, quick to pass, quick to exceed the speed limit when you are not looking. And the rumble of the V-8 is thrilling.  The rumble and the sound of the turbo is amazing, and on similar cars you cannot hear the turbo.

BMW X7 M50i includes a standard 12.3 -inch center control display which is angled toward the driver. This display with touchscreen, voice, dial, and optional gesture inputs provides easy access to all key infotainment functions.  Drivers get the added technology of a Head-up Display and Gesture Control which both allow drivers to more easily keep their eyes on the road ahead.  The X7 M50i comes standard with today’s leading-edge safety technologies including Lane Departure Warning, blind spot detection, frontal collision warning and city collision mitigation.  State-of the-art Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go Control is available as part of the Driving Assistance Professional Package

The X7 has an adjustable ride height.  The X7 can be raised and lowered in 3 stages, so it is like having 3 cars in 1.  The ride height can be set with the engine switched off by using the optional BMW Display. .

This package also includes the classy glass controls, heated and cooled cupholders, and comes with second-row Captain’s Chairs.
