Home » 2023 BMW X7 LCI Dissected In 20-Minute Video Tour
With the 2023 BMW X7 market launch happening this month, more and more dealers are receiving the fullsize SUV built in Spartanburg, South Carolina. This xDrive40i has arrived at a showroom in Morristown, NJ and the dealer decided to provide an in-depth video tour of the luxobarge painted in an optional Tanzanite Blue II Metallic color from the Individual catalog. While the X7 LCI kicks off at $77,850 in North America, this one costs $98,975 since it has more than a few options added.
Riding on 21-inch wheels with a two-tone finish, the heavily facelifted model features a blacked-out kidney grille and an assortment of dark accents courtesy of the Shadowline package. The love/hate split headlights with their striking configuration are installed on all X7s with the LCI, and we’ll be seeing more of them on a large SUV later this year when BMW will unveil the production XM.
By being priced at just under $100,000, it’s no wonder this xDrive40i has the M Sport Package for a slightly more aggressive appearance. It has also been configured with the Premium Package, with niceties such as soft-close doors, electric side window shades for the rear doors, and support for gesture controls. The Harman Kardon 16-speaker sound system of the package has been upgraded to a Bowers & Wilkins setup with no fewer than 20 speakers.
Whoever configured the car had good taste as the blue exterior makes a great combination with the optional Individual Tartufo Extended Merino Leather on the inside. Adding the Climate Comfort Package means the X7 gets five-zone automatic climate control and front ventilated seats aside from the usual front and rear heated seats. This fancy interior was ordered with the second-row captain’s chairs for added comfort.
The six-seat 2023 BMW X7 offers a decent amount of legroom even for rearmost passengers, but that hasn’t changed with the mid-cycle update. By far the most important modification on the inside is in the front by switching to the Operating System 8 where the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is joined by a 14.9-inch touchscreen, with both housed in a single piece of curved glass. The latest iDrive tech has trickled down to the 2 Series Coupe and X1 for the 2023MY.
Overall, this X7 has the right spec for someone who doesn’t want to spend six figures but still wishes to get a few of the optional goodies.
