The full X7 press release talks about it in some detail: https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/attachment/T0378353EN/555266
Some key notes from previous version:
+47 hp/+52 lb/ft
Uses Miller cycle, which improves fuel economy and emissions
0.5 seconds faster 0-62 mph (5.8 seconds quoted)
This is making me lean toward getting the 40i instead of M60i. Almost 400 hp and torque is probably enough for my uses, plus lower maintenance and fuel costs if I keep this 8-10 years. I would love to hear more driving impressions, especially from previous owners of the 40i. Also curious, of course, of how the mild hybrid M60i S68 compares against the M50i N63. |
Also worth noting the gen 2 mild hybrid is now attached to the transmission and adds 147 lbft of torque when the ice is off boost or mid/low rpm
