Don't worry - the 625hp 4.4-litre V8 is retained. But maybe do worry about the styling (again).
, not expecting the M versions to follow on quite so abruptly. But here we are - and in many ways the news is more significant than it was for the conventional lineup, because BMW has used the flagship Competition models to debut its latest 48v tech on the shared 4.4-litre V8, making them the first M cars to qualify for mild hybrid status.new X7 M60i we drove
Now, based on our previous experience of the X7, the even-more-powerful version of the 4.4-litre unit needs the additional assistance like a hurricane needs a desk fan but that isn’t to say that it won’t gently aid functionality from a standing start - and if nothing else, the 48v generator is used to summon the mighty engine smartly back to life when the traffic lights change. So there's that.
There’s a fair chance that the discrepancy there can be attributed to weight gain; BMW doesn’t commit to a figure for either new model, although we’d be willing to bet that neither variant has shed any pounds . Having said that, the manufacturer promises the same 3.9-second-0-62mph time for both regardless - so there’s no reason to think the cars will be any less ballistic than the previous X5 or X6 M. An optional M Driver’s pack will bump the top speed to 180mph from 155mph if you wish.
Chances are that both cars will drive in the established manner, as well. Which is to say very ably. Both retain the bespoke M-grade xDrive system, and an Active M Differential to distribute power across the back axle for that ‘signature’ rear-driven feel. Additionally, BMW says the electronic diff now works ‘in tandem’ with the xDrive system to reduce reliance on the stability control system when near the limit of traction.
