Kyosho is a big believer in models of big SUVs. They’ve produced numerous such luxury land yachts in diecast going back many years. They also have an expansive licensing deal with BMW, but up until now, those two specialties haven’t had an opportunity to converge as BMW’s product range had focused on small to midsize SAVs (“sports activity vehicles” in Bimmer-speak). That finally changed in 2019, and the behemoth you see on this page is the result. As you might surmise from the name, the X7 has seating for seven in three rows (in 2-3-2 configuration). You might also surmise that the trim level—xDrive40i—would indicate perhaps a 4-liter engine…but on that you’d be mistaken. It has a 3.0L twin-turbo inline-6 making 335hp—the base engine for the X
