Out with the old, in with the new… 2023 X7 LCI vs 2021 X7 side-by-side

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Picking up 2023 X7 M60 today, Tanz Blue II/Tartufo full interior, all options; trading '21 M50 in very similar spec; my wife really loves the blue w the shadowline but wanted the black wheels; finally available.

Looking forward to hearing your review given the similarity of the vehicles! Congrats!!!

Nice

DocWeatherington · 09-08-2022, 05:02 PM

Plus one on the updated v8 and if any improvements over the old.

You notice any increased mpg?

IcEWoLF · 09-08-2022, 05:03 PM

Gorgeous color! Be sure to get her clear bra (front) if the car is financed. If it's a lease then I'd just ceramic coat it.

Nice ! What interior trim did you go with ?

BMWFanatic2008 · 09-08-2022, 05:10 PM

Great spec, congrats! How does it compare to the old one?

MystroX5 · 09-08-2022, 05:12 PM

Great side by side pic. Color is spectacular in the sun.

New headlight design looks like 🗑

sikotic · 09-08-2022, 05:15 PM

oh wow are they adding the M logo to the grill now with performance models in the US? Interesting..

Altonero · 09-08-2022, 05:21 PM

Niceeee

Sublimeside · 09-08-2022, 05:26 PM

Very nice! Congrats. Personally, I think the front end on the previous gen x7 looks better, but that's just me.

xmanpro · 09-08-2022, 05:35 PM

Congrats!

That older version next to the new one looks so dated. Glad you grabbed a new one! Enjoy in good health.

I had a 2022 M50i and upgraded to a 23 M60i - gas mileage is definitely better. Still figuring out final, but I seem to be averaging about 3-4 miles per gallon better. The hybrid start/stop is seamless on the 2023, and on the 2022 I could not stand it and always turned it off.

Jrjones4 · 09-08-2022, 05:41 PM

And Congrats! They are both beauties, but after living with the 2023 for a few weeks it's absolutely an upgrade you will enjoy. I have!

DocWeatherington · 09-08-2022, 05:49 PM

I assume the power delivery is better along with more power via the butt dyno?

Wish I had ppf'd my lease- as I might be buying it. Ceramic just won't stop rock chips.

I think they're doing it where a proper ///M variant of the vehicle does not exist and may never exist.

They do it with the X3 and X4 M40i too.
