BMW has released a new would-be X-series addition (we say "would-be" since it's a concept) dubbed the X7 iPerformance.

A reliable mark to see if a manufacturer can provide what drivers want is by looking at sales numbers. BMW has been on a mission to bring drivers the most innovative technology, powerful engines, and overall beautiful vehicles. Seeing that they have sold over a million vehicles so far this year, it is appropriate to say that they are achieving that mission.

BMW recently reported that sales for February 2017 gained in comparison to February 2016, with a total of 22,558 vehicles sold during the month. For the year, BMW sales are up on a volume of 40,667 vehicles sold.
