BMW Malaysia Introduces Locally-Assembled X7
Nearly 2 years after the CBU model was launched, we now have a CKD BMW X7 xDrive40i Pure Excellence in Malaysia.
Besides launching a new M Sport spec of the 7 Series LCI model, BMW Malaysia also launched the first-ever locally-assembled BMW X7 today. It’s the same specification as the CBU model, which was launched back in mid-2019 for RM888,800.
This BMW X7 xDrive40i Pure Excellence is the largest model offered by the company locally and abroad. It measures 5,151mm long, 2,000mm wide and 1,805mm tall with a wheelbase measuring 3,105mm.
Powering the X7 xDrive40i is a petrol-powered 3-litre inline 6 turbo engine with an output of 340hp and 450Nm of torque. This allows the X7 to accelerate from 0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds, which is incredible given its weight. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed ZF gearbox. Two-axle air suspension is standard in Malaysia with Dynamic Stability Control factoring in load when modulating the brakes.
Here are some highlights of the locally-assembled X7:
- BMW Laserlight headlights

The BMW X7 xDrive40i Pure Excellence will be in BMW showrooms nationwide starting 8th May 2021. Website maintenance means that online bookings for RM5,000 will only be available starting the 11th of May 2021.
The locally-assembled BMW X7 xDrive40i Pure Excellence goes for RM673,323.61 (OTR w/o insurance with SST exemption). That’s a savings of RM215,476.39. Guess it pays to wait when buying a new BMW!
