This time, the three models have gone decidedly black. The Munich automaker is offering up the X5 and X6 Black Vermilion editions. For the flagship X7 SUV, there's something called X7 edition in Frozen Black metallic.
The X5 and X6 colour scheme is more "shouty" while that in the X7 is more discreet.
The three models have been dependable moneyspinners for BMW even in the dark days of Covid-19.
In 2020 alone and with almost 250,000 units sold worldwide, the trio from Spartanburg, USA, contributed decisively towards the success of the brand. Around every eighth newly delivered BMW model was an X5, X6 or X7.
All three edition models go on sale with all engines available for each of their original models. They can be ordered with immediate effect, with the market launch beginning in August.
Prices in Germany start at €93,200 for the X5 Black Vermilion, €100,700 for the X6 Black Vermilion and €108,700 for the X7 in Frozen Black metallic (each including 19% sales tax).
BMW X5 and X6 Black Vermilion edition
The central focus of the Black Vermilion edition is the interplay between the colours black and red. For example, the BMW double kidney grille with model-specific red bars creates a contrast to the BMW Individual special paint finish Frozen Black metallic.
On the X6 Black Vermilion this visual highlight is expressed in combination with its kidney grille Iconic Glow. The M headlights Shadow Line with BMW laser light, including accented lighting with blue X signature, complete the distinctive look of the front end.
Moreover, the M Sport Package comprises, among other things, specific front and rear aprons as well as the M high-gloss Shadow Line with extended options. Behind the Orbit Grey matt, 22-inch, double-spoke 742 M light alloy wheels with mixed tyres designed exclusively for these edition models, red high-gloss M Sport brake callipers stand out.
In the interior of both models, the roof is lined by M Alcantara Anthracite material. An Edition logo on the cupholder cover in BMW Individual black piano finish emphasises the limited model’s exclusiveness.
The glass application Crafted Clarity on the iDrive Controller, the automatic gear selector and Start/Stop button, as well as the BMW Individual precious wood interior trim Fineline Black with aluminium inlays provide additional sophisticated accents.
Driver and front seat passenger travel in comfort seats offering a multitude of adjustment options. The BMW Individual full leather trim Merino Black is additionally enhanced by edition-specific red contrast stitching for both the driver’s seat and front passenger seat.
Inside the X5 Black Vermilion, the red accents are also to be found on the rear seats. Likewise, the edging on both the front and rear floor mats is finished in red. Sun-protective glass with more deeply tinted rear windows beyond the B-pillar enhances passenger privacy whilst blending in with the exterior design.
BMW X7 edition in Frozen Black metallic
Like the Black Vermilion editions, the X7 edition also has the BMW Individual special paint finish Frozen Black metallic, dispensing, however, with details in contrasting colour.
The BMW M Sport brake callipers of the edition-specific, 22-inch BMW Individual Y-spoke 758 I alloy wheels in Orbit Grey matt are finished in high gloss black.
Combined with the M Sport Package and the M High Gloss Shadow Line with extended options, it is this colour restraint in particular that make the 5.15-metre long and over 2-metre wide seven-seater look more impressive.
The interior of the X7 edition in Frozen Black metallic provides for an elegantly discreet atmosphere thanks to the M Alcantara Anthracite roof liner, the glass application Crafted Clarity and sun-protection glass.
