M50i

I thought the X7 would be launched with the new V8. Looks like that isnt the case. Very disappointing.

When will the X7 5.0 become the M50i?

NFW am I taking delivery of this thing if they are switching over and adding 70hp in April. I did notice there are several elements that don't start production until 4/19 as well. I wonder if some if this is related to the snafus with moving around production times etc.

The 7 series mid cycle update starts around March or April of 2019 which includes the updated v8 engine which explains why the timing of the engine upgrade for the x5 and x7

The problem with the M50i is that it will have the Pewter color kidney grille,trim,side mirrors,and wheels which IMO doesn’t look good.I dislike the look of all the new M Performance Models because of that color.The black high gloss shadowline trim on the M Sport looks way better.The MY19 X7 50i M Sport will actually be a unique model because it will be the only model year that you will be able to get the V8 engine with the black high gloss shadowline trim.It looks like the only area on the X7 M50i that will get the black shadowline trim is on the side windows.

I'd be shocked. All info points to the new 50i engine and M50i X7/X5 in MY2020
