Mansory seemed a little flustered. The tuning company released renderings showing a modified version of the BMW X7 and obviously the pre-facelift model pictured. However, Mansory says this new project is for the X7 LCI, which is BMW’s way of saying a facelift. Nevertheless, it is the tuning that deserves your attention.
From what we can see, the digital image is based on the original X7 that came with the M-package. However, the kidney grids have been modified and are now smaller than stock. There are small additional air intakes just below the grille, as well as a heavily modified front bumper with a larger opening and a lower trapezoidal grille.
The widebody theme continues to the sides where we find extended wheel arches, hiding large 24-inch wheels. Speaking of wheels, Mansory says it will offer 11 different designs for light wheels in a variety of sizes and styles. The X7 from the renderings features a multi-spoke design and measures 24 inches.
Moving to the rear, a new bumper extension continues the aggressive line from the sides, a body-colored lower diffuser is surrounded by four exhaust pipes with new black trim pieces, and new trim surrounds the windshield. Once again, judging from the design of the taillights, the rear looks like the pre-facelift series of the Bavarian luxury SUV.
Unfortunately, Mansory did not explain whether the new kit can be applied to the old and fresh versions of the X7. Alternatively, the tuning company could offer a reverse facelift conversion kit in response to the criticism the X7 received after getting a separate headlamp design. Regardless of which version it’s based on, Mansory says it can change the interior at the request of the customer. There’s no word on any mechanical tweaks under the hood, though.
