BMW X5 and X7 Updates For Summer 2019


Per BMW, the following updates come for the X5 and X7 in the Summer.

BMW X5 and BMW X7: new power units, plus more exterior paint finishes, light-alloy wheels and leather trim variants.

The choice of power units for the new BMW X5 will be expanded with the addition of a new entry-level engine in the form of a four-cylinder diesel available for the Sports Activity Vehicle from August 2019. The two-litre engine in the new BMW X5 xDrive25d develops maximum output of 170 kW/231 hp and peak torque of 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) with the help of BMW TwinPower Turbo technology comprising multi-stage turbocharging and common-rail direct injection. The efficient diesel engine teams up with the eight-speed Steptronic transmission and xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system. The engine’s emission control system includes an SCR catalyst for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions, helping the new BMW X5 xDrive25d to satisfy the requirements of the Euro 6d-TEMP emissions norm.

The summer of 2019 will also see the launch of another exceptionally efficient version of the Sports Activity Vehicle in the form of the BMW X5 xDrive45e (petrol consumption combined: 2.0 – 1.7 l/100 km [141.2 – 166.2 mpg imp]; electric power consumption combined: 23.5 – 20.3 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 47 – 39 g/km). This plug-in hybrid model is powered by a combination of a six-cylinder in-line petrol engine and an electric motor, which together generate system output of 290 kW/394 hp. The second-generation BMW X5 with electrified powertrain accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.6 seconds. The BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system is on hand to deliver sporty driving pleasure on the road and supremely assured performance off it by distributing the drive power from both engine and motor to all four wheels. The latest battery cell technology on board the new X5 xDrive45e helps it to cover distances of up to 80 kilometres (50 miles) on electric power alone.

Customers will also enjoy an even wider choice of optional extras. The body colour Manhattan metallic, 22-inch M light-alloy wheels in twin-spoke design, the BMW Individual Alcantara headliner in Anthracite or Ivory White and BMW Individual high-gloss Shadow Line trim with extended features will all be added to the BMW X5 options list from August 2019.

New options are being made available for the new BMW X7, too. From August 2019, it will be possible to upgrade the cabin of the luxury segment’s first ever Sports Activity Vehicle with BMW Individual Merino full leather trim in three different colours and a BMW Individual headliner in Anthracite or Ivory White Alcantara. The palette of colours for the exterior will now expand to include the Manhattan metallic shade and BMW Individual paint finishes Tanzanite Blue metallic and Ametrine metallic. And the BMW X7 can likewise now be specified with BMW Individual high-gloss Shadow Line trim with extended features.

New optional extra: BMW Drive Recorder.

The BMW Drive Recorder is another new addition to the options list. It can be ordered in conjunction with Parking Assistant Plus and is available for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan, BMW 7 Series, BMW 8 Series, new BMW X5 and new BMW X7. The BMW Drive Recorder uses the cameras of the various driver assistance systems to record video footage from different points around the vehicle, before saving the recordings so they can be either watched later on the Control Display when the car is stationary or exported via the USB port.

Drivers can therefore shoot videos while driving through spectacular scenery, for example, or performing impressive manoeuvres on the race track, and then send them to their mobile device and share them. Recordings can be up to 40 seconds in length, comprising the 20 seconds of video saved immediately prior to the Drive Recorder being activated and the next 20 seconds. The Drive Recorder can be started at any time from the iDrive menu. Another benefit of the system is that, in the event of a collision, the 20 seconds before the accident and the 20 seconds following it are automatically recorded and saved, so they can be referred back to in any subsequent reconstruction of the incident.

We knew that new exterior colors and new full merino leathers were coming. White alcantara headliner? Sounds beautiful, but ohhhhhhhhh so hard to keep white clean in a car.

We'll have to find example pictures of those new exterior colors. We know what the purple Ametrine Metallic looks like. And curious what this "individual high gloss shadowline trim with extended features" will be.

BMW Drive Recorder? Sure. Unless it's $2,000, I'll add it.

Here's the Manhattan Metallic. A split-pea-soup green? Yuck. No thanks.

Article is from an old 2017 iPerformance X7 concept release.

https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/b...017-news/#/1/3



















Here's a Tanzanite blue. Looks nice. Wonder how it would compare side-by-side with the Phytonic blue that right now is an official color, but still not on the USA configurator:

I'm sure we'll still get the M50i. I'm guessing that was a special announcement for the X5 getting smaller engines, and I get the impression that was for Europe, too.

Notice that this announcement does contradict a bit a previous announcement from BMW about new trims, leathers, and colors coming in August 2019.

https://g07.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1591750

New announcement says new "BMW Individual Merino full leather trim in three different colours". The previous announcement included six "BMW Individual full fine-grain Merino leathers":
- Ivory White/Dolomiti
- Ivory White/Night Blue
- Tartufo
- Coffee
- Amarone/Black
- Black

These are in addition to the "fine grain" leathers currently included or announced, without the "full" designation.

Oh, and here's the X7 previously announced in "BMW Individual Pyrite Brown metallic*, BMW Individual Sunstone metallic*; BMW Individual Ametrine metallic*; BMW Individual Tanzanite Blue metallic*; BMW Individual Ruby Black metallic*; each with BMW Individual light-alloy wheels Y-spoke 758 I; * available from 08/19"

Let's see how much of these features will be available in the U.S.

I would LOVE to see the integration of a camera-system.

The extended shadow-line will probably include the exhaust surround and the kidneys and perhaps even the chrome bar between the rear lights.

After all, there are already parts available but they are quite expensive. This package will make it much cheaper.

Interesting. Not as bright Barney-purple as the stock pictures.

Tanzanite is richer and has more color depth than Phytonic - it's like a brighter version of Carbon Black. Phytonic looks flat and looses a bit of it's metallic depth in dull lighting or when it gets dirty. Here's what it looks like on a X5 under overcast skies.

"And the BMW X7 can likewise now be specified with BMW Individual high-gloss Shadow Line trim with extended features."

What is this? Shadow-line with a shadow line grill and exhaust tips from factory?

Likely is that if we're going by the same option/description for the M340i - grille, mirror caps, window trim and exhaust all in gloss black on the G20.

That's what I'm guessing. A "blacked out" look.
