BMW X7 Trims
2027 BMW X7 Trims Compared in Northern California
Two trims, one three-row body: the 375-horsepower xDrive40i and the 523-horsepower M60i. Here is how they compare on power, features, and price for shoppers across Solano County and the North Bay.
The 2027 BMW X7 comes in two trims, and the choice between them is unusually clear because they share the same body, three rows, standard all-wheel drive, and eight-speed automatic. What separates them is the engine, a set of standard chassis features, and about $27,500. The xDrive40i starts at $87,500 with a 375-horsepower turbocharged inline-six; the M60i starts at $115,000 with a 523-horsepower twin-turbo V8. There is no full X7 M and no all-electric X7 for 2027, so the M60i is the top of the range.
At BMW of Napa Valley, we stock the X7 lineup and help drivers across Fairfield, Vacaville, and Vallejo pick the trim that fits how they actually drive. This page breaks down each trim, lays them side by side, compares them head to head, and gives a plain value verdict. For the full feature list, start with the 2027 BMW X7 overview or the specs page.

Trim by Trim
Trim-by-Trim Breakdown
BMW X7 xDrive40i — From $87,500
The xDrive40i is the volume trim and the value pick. Its 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six with 48-volt mild-hybrid assistance makes 375 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque, reaches 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, and returns an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city / 25 mpg highway / 22 mpg combined. It rides on standard 21-inch light-alloy wheels and comes trimmed in Sensafin, BMW's high-quality vegan upholstery, with heated multi-contour front comfort seats, four-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic moonroof, and the BMW Curved Display. Rear-wheel steering and active roll stabilization are available options rather than standard. Standard xDrive all-wheel drive, an eight-speed automatic, and seven-passenger seating are shared with the M60i. It is the right choice for buyers who want the X7's space and refinement without paying for the V8.
BMW X7 M60i — From $115,000
The M60i is the performance flagship and the top of the 2027 X7 range. Its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 with mild-hybrid assistance makes 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, cuts the 0-to-60 time to 4.5 seconds, and is EPA-rated at 17 mpg city / 21 mpg highway / 19 mpg combined. Beyond the engine, the M60i makes standard the chassis hardware the xDrive40i only offers optionally: Integral Active Steering (rear-wheel steering) and active roll stabilization, plus M-specific tuning to the air suspension. It rides on 22-inch M light-alloy wheels, comes with Extended Merino leather, an Alcantara M headliner, an illuminated kidney grille, and M-specific interior trim. It is for buyers who want genuine performance and the richest standard chassis in the lineup.

Head to Head
Common X7 Trim Comparisons
X7 xDrive40i vs X7 M60i
This is the only trim decision in the 2027 X7 lineup, and it comes down to how much performance you want and what you will pay for it. The xDrive40i's 375-horsepower inline-six is genuinely quick for a full-size SUV at 5.6 seconds to 60 mph, and it returns meaningfully better fuel economy, 22 mpg combined versus 19. The M60i adds a 523-horsepower V8 that drops the 0-to-60 time to 4.5 seconds, and just as important, it makes rear-wheel steering and active roll stabilization standard, so a long, tall SUV changes direction and stays flat in a way the base car does not without those options. The gap is about $27,500. If you want the quickest, most composed X7 and the V8 character, the M60i earns it; if you mostly want the space, luxury, and efficiency, the xDrive40i delivers nearly all of the experience for far less. Because rear-wheel steering and active roll stabilization can be added to the xDrive40i, a well-optioned xDrive40i narrows the handling gap while keeping the six-cylinder's efficiency.
Value Verdict
The X7 Value Verdict and Step-Up Guide
The sweet spot: xDrive40i
For most buyers, the xDrive40i is the value pick. It carries the same three-row body, standard all-wheel drive, and luxury cabin as the M60i, returns better fuel economy, and can be optioned with the same rear-wheel steering and roll control. The M60i is worth its premium only if the V8 and the quickest acceleration in the lineup genuinely matter to you; it is the trim buyers most often overpay for when they wanted space and comfort more than speed.
| Step Up | Added Cost | What You Gain |
|---|---|---|
| xDrive40i to M60i | +$27,500 | 523-hp V8 (up from 375 hp), 4.5-second 0-60, standard rear-wheel steering and active roll stabilization, 22-inch M wheels, Extended Merino leather, illuminated grille |
The M60i starts $27,500 above the xDrive40i. Options and packages change the final figure.
Right for You
Which X7 Trim Is Right for You?
- If you want the best value: the xDrive40i. Full space and luxury, the best fuel economy, and the lowest price of entry.
- If you want maximum performance: the M60i. The 523-horsepower V8 and the quickest acceleration and sharpest handling in the lineup, standard.
- If you want handling without the V8: the xDrive40i with the optional rear-wheel steering and active roll stabilization, keeping the six-cylinder's efficiency.
- If you carry six in comfort: either trim with the optional six-seat Captain's Chairs layout.
