The BMW X7 is 2,460 kg (5,423 lb) – this is the M50d specification. Although it isn’t a sports car, the attached video shows that it can handle long distances on perfect roads once it is parked. The full-size luxury SUV’s flagship diesel version traveled to Germany on the Autobahn, specifically one of the last unrestricted sections. The YouTube channel AutoTopNL is known for taking cars to the Autobahn in Germany to test their speed and acceleration. Their latest subject was Bavaria’s diesel monster. The X7 M50d’s heart is a 3.0-liter inline-six diesel with four turbochargers. It produces 394 horsepower and 760 Newton-meters (560 poundfeet) of torque. Although it was introduced just three years ago, we know it will not be renewed because BMW claims that it is too complex and costly to update to comply with stricter emissions regulations. BMW’s biggest SUV ever: Get up to speed BMW claims that the X7M50d can run the 0-60 mph (100 km/h) in 5.4 seconds. This is slightly faster than the 5.58 seconds required by the driver who had the chance to test the vehicle. It was able to sprint at 62 mph (100 km/h) to 124 (200 km/h), taking 17.7 seconds. The SUV took 23.28 seconds to go from a standstill at 124 mph (200 km/h). It also provided a decent sound track, even though it was using Devil’s fuel. It reached 162 mph (260 km/h), slightly faster than the BMW 155 mph (2250 kph), but modern speedometers show a slightly higher speed. The BMW X7 M50d luxury SUV isn’t the only one with a large diesel engine. The Volkswagen Group also has a 4.0-liter V8 with more power and torque – 429 hp (664 lb-ft) and 900 Nm (664 lb). The TDI unit can be found in models like the Audi Q7, SQ8 and Bentley Bentayga Diesel and the Touareg a.k.a. VW’s last eight-cylinder diesel car. Although diesel engines might seem like a bad idea after the VAG scandal, there is still enough demand for them, especially in Europe. According to BMW’s Group Chief Technical Officer Klaus Froelich diesel engines are expected to be around for at least 20 more years. A diesel engine is still a good choice for large, heavy vehicles like this X7. However, electrification will slowly replace the once popular diesel.
