If you want to drive around in an SUV that
makes you feel like a mob boss, the 2021 BMW X7 Dark Shadow Edition may be the
vehicle for you. Capped at “about” 500 units worldwide, of which just 75 units
will stay in the United States, the X7 Dark Shadow Edition comes exclusively in
a shade of Frozen Arctic Grey metallic. While this paint has been used on other
BMW models, this is the first time it has been featured on an X model.
Complementing the Frozen Arctic Grey metallic
paint is a BMW Individual High Gloss Shadow Line that sees the side window
surrounds, B- and C-pillars, exterior mirror bases, kidney grille, and
tailpipes covers all finished in gloss black.
All X7 Dark Shadow Edition models to leave
the company’s plant in Spartanburg come standard with 22-inch M light-alloy
wheels with a V-spoke design and a Jet Black matte finish. An M sports exhaust
system is also a standard feature.
BMW will sell the limited-edition model in
six- or seven-seat configurations. Regardless of how many seats buyers choose
to have, the SUV receives an M leather steering wheel, BMW Individual Merino
full leather upholstery with Night Blue/Black contrasting seams, and BMW
Individual roofline finished in Night Blue with an Alcantara finish.
Meanwhile, the upper part of the
instrument panel and armrests are finished in Night Blue nappa leather. Black
merino leather is also used for other parts of the cabin, with aluminum inlays
and piano black surfaces also part of the package. All 2021 BMW X7 Dark Shadow
Edition models are based on the M50i variant meaning they feature a 4.4-liter
twin-turbocharged V8 with 523 hp and 750 Nm of torque. U.S. pricing
starts at US$ 120,490 including a US$ 1,000 deposit.
