Direct Quote.
At this year's New York Auto Show, BMW AG Sales and Marketing Director Ian Robertson told British car site AutoExpress that the X7 SUV "won't arrive this year or next, but it's well through the development phases," adding "there's very little resemblance to the X5, so it's not an extended wheelbase X5. It's very different—we wanted it to have its own identity."

Which is even more funny, because the interior dimensions (and design) are almost EXACTLY the same between the X5 and X7, until you get to the third row/trunk.

So really, the X7 **IS** an X5, with a bigger third row.
