Beemer with the X factor

The new X7 is the biggest car in BMW's stable, but moves with the agility of smaller models

The BMW X7 has 450Nm of creamy torque available from 1,500rpm. With a 3.1m wheelbase, the BMW X7 accommodates three rows of seats. Unlike most three-row cars, it has a decent amount of stowage even when all seats are in use.
