These are leaked images of the BMW X7 Concept – or BMW Concept X7, as they always like to call the showcars – that will make its debut at next week’s IAA show at Frankfurt, posted by Bimmerpost. BMW has posted a teaser on Twitter warning people to “get ready for something big” and this could be the reason why. Well, it’s certainly big enough.
If these pics are authentic, which we believe they are, you’re looking a near finalised design for BMW’s upcoming flagship SUV that will sit above the X5 in size and price – as its name suggests. It’s very big and very bold, and we’re not even talking about those terrifying nostrils on the face yet. The gaping air intakes and slit-like eyes only serve to further highlight the size of the kidney grille.
The huge and upright SUV features super slim LED tail lamps at the back paired with vertical vents at the extremes of the bumper – the same elements given to Munich’s most recent concepts such as the Z4 Concept and 8 Series Concept. The latter, which previews a sleek two-door GT, also has a large grille, but they’re wide on the low-nosed coupe.
The showcar will be an iPerformance plug-in hybrid, as can be seen from the charging flap on the front wing and the ‘eDrive’ badge on the SUV’s D pillars, just behind the Hofmeister kink. There’s also a dashboard shot here showing design that’s totally feasible for production, and elements that are similar to the 8 Series Concept’s.
What do you think of the BMW X7 Concept? It’s go big or go home, I guess.

The headlights design is clearly copied from cx-9!!!
the whole shape looks like xc90
I thought it is new VOLVO!!
Xc90 is same category as cx9 and they look alike
Dat hideous nostrils!
BMW design is going from bad to worse. The latest 5series is a big dissappointment in design and seems BMW have not been able to get any better since then. With Audi just recycling decades old designs, Lexus getting design inspirations from aliens and Infiniti…. somewhere out there, Mercedes is having it easy now.

‘Lexus getting design inspirations from aliens …’

Wow BMW rebadging a Volvo.
Volvo Geely > All

Volvo XC90 7-seat > all
Congratulations BMW for building a vehicle as uninspiring as the E65 7 Series, aka the Bangle butt BMW. I hope the actual X7 will look better than this though.
Looks big.
This is the first time i hope that BMW concept doesn’t really turn into production version. The use chrome bars are too excessive. And what’s with the vertical design bars all around?
Can you pls stop offending to BMW cause you guys keep on putting all negative comments. You must understand that BMW and Mercedes are more popular and have hugh global market. Also BMW and Mercedes are nice design. Just buy BMW and Mercedes.
looks more like pajero sports..they should have ditch the interior design. it is so boring
this time around, BMW’s lifecycle has went wrong.
Exterior – not attractive enough
Interior – so dull
This time, Merc and Volvo’s lifecycle had the best one
Those thin tall a,b,c,d pillars makes it look like a 1st gen unser
The kidney grill needs to be bigger I think lol
Even though X7 is the flagship SUV of BMW, but the design is still way lagging behind! Don’t feel the exclusiveness in it! Way to learn for BMW to enter into the world of super luxury! Way to learn, way to learn, BMW!
