BMW is targeting other car manufacturers such as Mercedes Benz, Audi and Range Rover with the new X7, its seventh and largest SUV to date.

Conceived to provide BMW with a greater presence in the growing upper-luxury SUV market, the X7 aims to offer the comfort and opulence of a 7 Series with the versatility and off-road prowess of the new fourth-generation X5, with which it shares much of its mechanical and electrical architecture.

Key markets for the X7, which goes under the internal codename G06, are the US, China, Russia and the Middle East. To bolster growth in those luxury-driven markets, BMW is rumoured to be working on an even more exclusive X8 model.

For those interested in buying one, let's wait until 2019 when Mr Atiku Abubakar opens the vault to CBN after he becomes the President, of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The starting price is around ₦35,000,000
