Well after a 3 year exodus from BMW after my 3 series was totaled on the freeway (I thank BMW for me walking away) I'm back in the BMW family again soon....

So I was out looking for an SUV to replace our Tahoe and I looked at all brands I thought. I didn't even realize there was an X7!!. We looked and drove Mercedes, Lexus, Range Rover, Lincoln, Toyota and nothing was perfect. Then ran across the new Escalade and was about ready to order one and stumbled on the X7. I thought they only had the X5 and the wife wanted a bigger SUV. I went to the dealer to look and wanted to test drive one before ordering the Escalade. I started with the 6 cylinder and was totally impressed then I had to open my mouth and ask if they had a 8 cylinder one. Next thing I know I'm in a M50i with a grin on my face as I'm driving. So I went home and grabbed the wife. I wanted to see what she thought. Same process, she drove the 6 cylinder and was ready to buy one. Then I said "wait now drive the 8 cylinder". Funny she said "I thought that one was the 8 cylinder" ....Needless to say after about 5 minutes of her driving it she was smiling saying "its like I have a secret" with this car. so true it is such a sleeper. you wouldnt think a 7 seat SUV would growl and drive like the M50i does. Needless to say happy wife happy life and I put dibs on the 2021 M50i the dealer has coming in 2 weeks!

Alpine white
Black leather
Cold weather pkg
Drive asst pkg
Luxury seating pkg
Executive pkg
Trailer hitch (although i don't think ill be hauling a travel trailer with this car)
Leather dashboard
Extended shadowline trim

My big mouth cost me another 20k......but i can hardly wait and while it formally will be the wifes car I cant wait till she goes out to the garage on many mornings and find the car gone with me in it.........ahh marriage bliss. On second thought yes I should have and this car is awesome!

LOL...thats why I haven't and won't drive the M50i. I have my C2S when I want to go fast.

Also re the tow hitch...if you don't already know you will lose the kick to open functionality of the hatch if you get the OEM tow hitch. There is an aftermarket one that I believe preserves the kick to open.

It’s a monster. Wait until you see what it can do in “Sport Plus” drive mode. I think you may be driving it more.

Biggest wolf in sheep's clothing on the market. I've recently considered putting mine on swapalease to get something else, but I just keep coming back to feeling like it's simply the most complete vehicle on the market if you need the space

Did you try the SQ7?
