BMW Confirms US-Specific Flagship SUV Above X7 Amid Portfolio Streamlining

BMW has confirmed it is evaluating a new, larger SUV for the US market to sit above the X7, driven by strong demand and capacity constraints at its Spartanburg plant.

This strategic shift includes a new electric 1 Series for Europe in 2028 and a push for localized production in China, aiming to restore EBIT margins to 8-10% by early 2027.

BMW M350 xDrive Debuts with 443 HP and Future-Proof Drift Mode

BMW has confirmed powertrain details for the new M350 xDrive, the top-tier combustion engine model in the next-generation 3 Series.
