Official X7 LCI pics

Well, I do not think it is worth waiting for the LCI any longer, especially when this kind of shit show happens. BMW has totally lost it!

Honestly, it's fine. I think the headlights of the current one were great but whatever. I'll probably order one when our lease is up.

I've never been a huge fan of the original x7 and to me this looks better than I expected for the squinty lights. I'm not the target market, I'm sure it will sell great.

I saw a note on the x5 board that Florida x7s are seeing a $30k ADM. Just crazy.

I won't pay much, if any, ADM so maybe we'll just buy our current one and drive it for a while.

FYI, these are the headlights. Interesting how on all the promo photos they do not want to turn on the headlights. The New 7 will have a similar face. Debut is allegedly in 10-12 days. All new V8 and updated B58 announced https://www.bmwblog.com/2022/04/12/bmw-b58-s68-engines/

iDrive 8 in the LCI X7 as well, no surprise there.

While I totally disapprove that sounds about right. Our dealer has recently upped their ADM. I have been told the local Mercedes dealership is tacking on $10,000 to every new Mercedes and they are a large dealer. They currently have a GT Black Edition one their showroom floor. One of sixty for the United States, MSRP is $325-$350k. They are asking $750,000. They recently turned down an offer for $550k

Much more curious about the drivetrains, of course. Weird that they are keeping the same HP rating on the new TT V8. It's underrated, of course - probably closer to 550hp at least.

Pic if ID8 in the LCI X7. Unrelated, but this pretty much puts it in concrete that the G87 M2 will have iDrive 8.

Edit: The kidneys now illuminate.

Eh. I don’t see how this is worse than the current X7?

Kind of agree. Squinty headlights are maybe the most jarring element.

And, what, ADM of $30k? That is insanity.

I paid no ADM for my car. Got a moderate little discount, plus CCA rebate. I thought that was “overpaying” enough.
