A 2023+ X7 xDrive40i OR a 2021 X7 M50i?

Hello!

I am looking to upgrade my 2019 X5 xDrive40i. We are in need of an additional row and the X7 fits our requirements just right.

Upon checking the local dealerships, I saw the following models are available:

  1. 2021 X7 M50i (29k miles) tagged at $64k
  2. 2024 X7 xDrive40i (6.5k miles) tagged at $89k

I test drove the M50i, it was quite exhilarating to experience the V8. This model is a Carbon Black Metallic with Tartufo Merino interior. It is fully loaded (Executive Package, Driving Assistance Professional, Parking Assistance Package, Luxury Seating, 5-Zone Climate Control).

I have not yet tried the X7 (base, V6 version). This one is also fully loaded. It is a Skyscraper Grey with Silverstone Sensafin interior. I know the new X7s (2023 onwards) have not only gotten a facelift - both interior and exterior, but also some changes in the engine that now offers a 375hp instead of the traditional 335hp.

I wanted to ask the X7 community and learn about their ownership experiences. Thank you for your kind inputs, it would help me take an informed decision.

Thanks!
