# Leaked Documents Confirm BMW X2, X7, M2 Competition Destined for North America

There have been a lot of rumors floating around about the BMW X2 and X7 sport-utility vehicles in recent years; now, we can now confirm they will be coming to North America in the near future. According to a leaked 177-page BMW document discovered by [SupraMKV.com](<https://www.supramkv.com/threads/bmw-model-codes-include-supra-j29-with-auto-transmission-4-and-6-cylinder-engines.631/>), BMW plans on releasing an X2 and X7 in the States—as well as an M2 Competition model for those sports car purists offended by the idea of Bimmer crossover.

The [BMW X2](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/12134/bmw-x2-patent-pictures-surface>) will come in two different variations, according to the leaked document: a front-wheel-drive model and an all-wheel-drive model. The front-wheel-drive variant will go by the BMW X2 sDrive 28i, while the all-wheel-drive variant will go by the name BMW X2 xDrive 28i. As you can probably already deduce, both models will be powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four, the same 228-horsepower powertrain found in the current BMW X1 (which the X2 will share much of its platform with).

The [BMW X7](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/2818/bmw-x7-will-hunt-big-game>) has also been anticipated for a while, and the large luxury seven-seater is finally on its way. Range Rover currently does not offer a third row option, but it'd better watch out: the size and price of the X7 means it will be pitted against the iconic luxury SUV. The BMW X7 will allegedly come in three different engine configurations: xDrive 40i, xDrive 50i and xDrive 40d. The xDrive 40i is a 3.0-liter inline-six, the xDrive 50i is a 4.4-liter V8 and the xDrive 40d is a 3.0-liter inline-six diesel. The odds of the diesel coming to America are a little shaky, however.
