In German Bimmer Post enthusiasts are fully speculating, because BMW has patented a new model name. Anyone who thinks the X7 is the über SUV should get their chest wet.
According to Bimmer Post, BMW would have filed a patent with the German German Patent and Trademark Office on “X8 M”. That would mean that the rumors are true that there will be an even bigger SUV than the gigantic X7. If that so-called X8 actually comes, there is also a good chance that an extreme M version will follow.
It is not yet known what exactly the X8 will be. This may be the more luxurious variant of the seven-seater X7, where the roofline runs like a coupé. BMW did the same trick with the X5 and X6. The latter SUVs also followed M versions, which produce 600 hp as a regular M and 625 hp as an M Competition. We do not yet have an M version of the X7, but given this new information, it is probably still on the schedule.
