New X7 prototypes spotted in V8 and electric forms
BMW was seen testing two second‑generation X7 prototypes on public roads.
Photographers recorded a heavily camouflaged quad‑exhaust SUV identified as an M60 prototype alongside a fully electric iX7 mule.
What happened: both vehicles were parked between test runs and filmed; the V8 mule showed quad tips and likely S68 power, while the electric example carried German plates denoting zero‑emission testing and production body panels.
Who is involved: BMW engineering and test teams, BMWBLOG’s spy photographer, and reports noting Alpina’s parallel X7 program.
Why it matters: the sightings confirm BMW will offer both high‑performance M‑Performance combustion and full‑battery i variants for the next X7. That dual path affects engineering, dealer planning and luxury‑SUV competition, and supports a late‑2027 production timetable.
