2021 BMW X7 M50i

This 2021 BMW X7 M50i pairs the twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 with seven-seat practicality, dispatching 0-62mph in 4.7 seconds despite its considerable footprint. Finished in black over BMW Individual Extended Merino Leather in Ivory White and Black, the cabin is lifted further by Ash Grain Silver wood trim and CraftedClarity glass detailing on the gear selector and iDrive controller — a genuinely distinctive interior specification.

The options sheet is well-judged for a flagship SUV: 22-inch BMW Individual Light Y-Spoke 758 alloys, the Sky Lounge panoramic roof, Technology Plus and Comfort Plus packages, the Entertainment Pack with rear screens, and the Visibility Pack. The six-seat layout (with individual second-row captain's chairs in place of the bench) is the more luxurious configuration and noticeably rarer on the used market.

With 47,663 miles recorded, this is a properly used example rather than a garage queen, but the spec is strong and the M50i remains the sweet spot of the X7 range — quicker than most need, far cheaper than the later XM, and far more cohesive than the Alpina XB7.
