REVIEW: The BMW X7 has been facelifted, bringing more power and aesthetic updates - find out why we think it's one of the best performers out there
BMW increasing the power output of the straight-six diesel in the X7 from 335bhp to 347bhp might sound about as necessary as nicking your friend’s last chip when you’ve just ordered a super-size Mac Whopper meal.
This comes as part of the mid-life facelift for the largest BMW – or rather, what was the largest BMW until the arrival of the XM. Compared with that overwrought monster, this seven-seater, which focuses much more on refined luxury than aggressive sportiness, looks almost shy and retiring. That’s despite it having something of a killer-robot stare, the result of the front light clusters being split as part of a fairly significant redesign.
Diesel and performance don’t automatically go together in many minds, but my goodness, the X7 xDrive40d pulls like Casanova. Call for it all on a motorway slip road and a relentless flow of torque takes you to 62mph in 5.9sec. In a seven-seat, 5.2-metre-long, 2490kg brick. Thank you very much, 516lb ft of torque – more than in a Ferrari Enzo – from a lowly 1750rpm.
The ‘B57’ also doesn’t sound like a diesel – no clattering or gravelly loudness – and is smooth as marble in its delivery, meaning the only real argument against is future-proofing, what with ULEZs and more.
