Launch and development

BMW provided a preview of the upcoming X7 with the showing of the Concept X7 iPerformance at the 2017 International Motor Show in Frankfurt.{{cite magazine |last=Stiler |first=Steve |magazine=Car and Driver |publisher=Hearst Communications |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/bmw-concept-x7-iperformance-photos-and-info-news |title=BMW Concept X7 iPerformance – BMW's upcoming über-ute begins to take shape |date=September 2017 |access-date=2018-01-30}} Production of the X7 started in 2018 at the BMW US Manufacturing Company plant in Greer, South Carolina.

The X7 is built on the same BMW CLAR platform as the G05 X5, however the X7 is taller and wider plus it has been stretched for increased cargo space and third row seating which is standard and more spacious for adults (the X5's third row seating, which is optional, is mainly for children).{{cite web |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/28/bmw-x7-spartanburg-production-official/ |title=BMW makes X7 in Spartanburg official |last=Turkus |first=Brandon |date=28 March 2014 |website=autoblog.com |access-date=2018-05-23}} In contrast to the X5, it is not available with rear-wheel drive, instead using an all-wheel drive (xDrive) drivetrain for all models. In Europe, diesel and petrol engines are available, while the choice is limited to inline-6 and V8 petrol engines in the United States.{{cite web|url=http://www.suvtests.com/bmw/x7/2019/specs/|title=2019 BMW X7 Specs|website=SUVTests.com|access-date=9 January 2020}}

Facelift

In April 2022, BMW unveiled a new revised X7, which entered production in July and was launched the following month. The design is very similar to the original first generation design, with minimal changes to the side profile and rear. The major changes are a heavily revised front end design premiering new "horizontally split headlight units" and a revised curved widescreen focused dashboard within an otherwise largely unchanged interior. It is widely thought that the aesthetic function of the horizontally split headlights is to increase the proportion of the front design dedicated to the headlights relative to a very large kidney grill. The new headlights were also featured on the new 7 Series and i7.{{cite news |last=Lye |first=Gerard |date=13 April 2022 |title=2023 BMW X7 facelift – G07 LCI gets split headlights, illuminated grille, 23-inch wheels, mild hybrid engines |url= https://paultan.org/2022/04/13/2023-bmw-x7-facelift-g07-lci-gets-split-headlights-illuminated-grille-23-inch-wheels-mild-hybrid-engines/ |website=Paultan.org |publisher= Driver Communications |location=Malaysia |access-date=14 June 2022}} The revision also includes all vehicles having an MHEV powertrain.{{Cite web |date=2022-04-13 |title=2023 BMW X7 facelift - G07 LCI gets split headlights, illuminated grille, 23-inch wheels, mild hybrid engines - paultan.org |url=https://paultan.org/2022/04/13/2023-bmw-x7-facelift-g07-lci-gets-split-headlights-illuminated-grille-23-inch-wheels-mild-hybrid-engines/ |access-date=2024-08-20 |website=Paul Tan's Automotive News |language=en-US}}
