BIGGER, BETTER... AND FASTER:
All the New BMW X Models Are On Display – Or Arriving Soon – At BMW West Palm Beach and Braman BMW Jupiter
First ever X7
The 2019 lineup of BMW X vehicles – both SAV (sports ac- tivity vehicle) and SAC (sports activity coupe) – just keeps getting bigger and better... and faster. Included are the re-engineered X4, re-designed X5, and the most anticipated new model, the 7-passenger X7. And they’re all on display – or arriving soon – in the showrooms at Braman BMW West Palm Beach and Braman BMW Jupiter.
The all-new X7 is both the
biggest beast in the BMW SAV
lineup and also most antici-
pated new model -- so much
so that when the company
showed a prototype model to
Braman BMW Client advisers, they were literally frisked to make sure nobody snuck in a camera or cell phone. Equipped with genuinely comfortable 3-row seating for seven genuinely-sized adults, the X7 is o ered with a choice
of two engines: a 3.0-liter single-turbo inline-six producing 335 hp and 0 to
60 mph in 5.8 seconds, as well as a 456 horsepower, 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that drops the 0 to 60 time to 5.2 seconds. Standard equipment includes an 8-speed automatic transmission and air suspen- sion, while the M Sport option o ers
enhanced performance. Also available is quite a robust o -road package, as well as high-tech options including semi-au- tonomous driving mode and a Siri-like voice-command system that responds to the prompt "Hey BMW."
Luxury touches include optional captain's chairs for the middle row and front seats that are not only heated and cooled, but also o er a massage en route.
Designed to compete with such heavy- weights as the Mercedes GLS, In niti QX80, Lexus LX 570 and Lincoln Navi-
gator, the BMW X7 will start rolling into Braman BMW showrooms in the rst quarter of 2019
If something a little less.... imposing...
is more to your taste, you might take a look at the new, 4th-generation, 7-pas- senger BMW X5. Six models are currently o ered, ranging from a 335 horsepower, turbocharged 6-cylinder to a 445 horse- power V-8 and a 308 horsepower plug-
in hybrid. All-wheel drive gives the X5 awesome handling, sure-footed traction in all weather conditions and the ability to drive o -road.
