Let's take a look at everything that's changed in the SUV that will be locally produced at BMW Group's manufacturing facility in Chennai.
The BMW X7 Signature Edition gets Swarovski glass cut crystal daytime running lamps with the iconic glow pattern. It also gets aluminium satinated roof rails and aluminium satinated exterior elements. The X7 Signature Edition will be sold in just two colour options: Tanzanite Blue and Dravit Grey.

The BMW X7 Signature Edition is powered by a 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder turbo petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology. It pumps out 381 hp and 520 Nm of peak torque which allows it to sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in 5.8 seconds. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox that sends power to all four wheels via the xDrive all-wheel drive setup.
