2025 BMW X7 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 BMW X7 is a seven-passenger three-row SUV offered in two trim levels: xDrive40i and M60i. BMW also offers an Alpina XB7 version of the X7 that offers enhanced performance and luxury, which we review separately on Edmunds. Powering the xDrive40i is a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six cylinder engine with 375 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. The M60i comes with a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 rated at 523 hp and 553 lb-ft. Both engines send power through an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Keep reading for our rundown of the X7's key standard features and options.

  • Self-leveling air suspension
  • 21-inch wheels
  • Adaptive LED headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Power dual-section tailgate
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Four-zone automatic climate control
  • Synthetic leather upholstery (BMW's Sensafin)

Standard driver assist features for the X7 include:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

M60i
Along with its more powerful engine, the M60i adds:

  • 22-inch wheels
  • M Sport brakes
  • M Sport differential (torque-biasing rear differential that can send more torque to the outside wheel while cornering for improved handling)
  • Illuminated grille
  • Rear-wheel steering (improves high-speed stability and makes parking easier)
  • Leather upholstery
  • Soft-close doors (catch as they're being closed and gently pull shut)
  • Power rear window sunshades
  • Infotainment gesture control (allows you to use hand gestures to operate features such as volume and track selection)
  • Surround-view camera (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • 16-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound system
  • Active Comfort Drive (previews the road ahead using sensors and prepares the suspension to reduce bumps)

Most of the M60i's upgrades are available on the xDrive40i as optional equipment. Other key options or packages for the X7 include:

  • Driving Assistance Professional package, a suite of semi-autonomous driver aids:
    • Highway Assistant and Traffic Jam Assistant (allow for hands-free driving on divided highways under certain conditions from 0 to 85 mph)

Which X7 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Sure, the X7 M60i's monstrously powerful V8 is attractive, but given the base xDrive40i's superb balance of efficiency and performance, we don't think the higher trim is worth the spend. Plus, many of the added features you'll get with the M60i are available on the xDrive40i as stand-alone options or in packages.
