There are sometimes when bigger is actually better. When you need to carry a large number of people in style, you don't need to make any sacrifices. That is why Basney BMW is proud to bring the three-row BMW X7 to drivers in South Bend. With seating for up to seven passengers, this relative newcomer to the market brings style and size to your travels.

Just because you need something on the larger side, doesn't mean you need to give up any power to get there. Fortunately, the BMW X7 comes packed with plenty of oomph under the hood, in the form of three distinct engine options. Whether you use your BMW X7 as a premier taxi service for your team or prefer to show off a little on the highway, there is a powertrain designed to match your driving style. Let's take a look at what powers the new X7 from Basney BMW/

Twin-Turbo Power is the Standard

The base engine of the X7 lineup is no basic powertrain. The 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo Inline Six-Cylinder Engine. That may be a mouthful, but what it does is a little simpler. Found on the base level xDrive40i, it pumps out a robust 335 horsepower with the help of the eBoost 48V mild-hybrid technology. It comes equipped with Auto Start-Stop technology to provide a more fuel-efficient ride than you might be used to for your journeys. Like the rest of the lineup, it comes paired with an eight-speed Sport automatic transmission with Sport and Manual shift modes. Steering wheel mounted paddle shifters help keep your hands on the wheel as you maneuver through your commute.

Mid-level Powerhouse

The middle child of the powertrain roster demands your attention. The mid-trim xDrive40i comes with the 456-horsepower 4.4-liter M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine. Two turbochargers with variable valve control give you the smooth and powerful charge you need to get through your daily routine with new-found energy.

500+ Horsepower with Confidence

The athletic X7 M50i brings the thunder with the 4.4-liter M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine. Just because an SUV has three rows doesn't mean it can't be quick and intimidating. This powerhouse churns out 523-horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. The superior aerodynamics created by the air curtain and an air breather system makes this large crossover feel more like the muscle cars you grew up dreaming about. With the deep rumble coming from your X7, you may even forget you're in a large SUV and pretend you're in a fast-charging, high-performance coupe.

New Engine Brings New Energy

New to the 2021 BMW X7 is the incredibly potent Alpina XB7 trim of the BMW X7. It carries with it the most muscular powertrain to date. It comes ready for action with the 4.4-liter Alpina Bi-Turbo V8. All it does is crank out 612 horsepower and an unheard-of 590 pound-feet of torque. It gives the X7 more pep in its step with an estimated zero-to-60 time of around 3.5 seconds. Not too shabby for an SUV carrying around an extra row of seats and even more cargo room.

There is more power in the BMW X7 that you may possibly ever need. But what else would you expect from a BMW? Once you lock in your dream powertrain, talk to the team in the Basney BMW Financing Center to discover new vehicle offers and incentives. You'll discover more ways to love the BMW X7.
