I just picked up my 2020 40i today. It has tons of power. Not sure why I would ever need a bigger engine. To me it does not feel like I am driving a large vehicle. I didn’t even have it in sport mode. Towing would be the only reason I would need a V8. And I do not plan on using mine to tow a fifth wheel or large travel trail or. As I assume most people aren’t either..

Was curious about this, too.......we have the 3.0 Q7 now so if the 40i is the same then it will be good.
I just could never drive, say, a 540i over my M550i just because I come from mostly M's and AMG's......but I just can't see the argument for going with the 50i X7 over the 40i....not on such a huge SUV. I drive the cars completely different (Q7 vs M550).

Even the range should stay the same. Slightly smaller fuel-tank on the X7 but also slightly better MPG-rating on the X7...  |

BMW is very conservative on released number of their engine. 50i engine, which is the same one in M550i, puts out 539 HPs and 589 LBFT, according to Dinan.
I can only assume the same for the B58 engine. Dinan measured 381 HPs and 401 LBFT. |

Definitely has to make a little more than they say. I'm bummed though... even though I have the staggered 22's, they set the governor at ~130mph. Mine stops pulling at indicated 132. It's still pulling good at 130, so I would imagine it could easy do 150's.

I believe there is away to remove it. Going through all of these ESYS code... Also, a nice tuning will be able to remove the limiter, as well.
