If a luxury vehicle wants to blind me with a diamond cut Swarovski crystal taken out of the Rolls Royce headlights, then so be it. I accept my fate.
Saw your video and I still bought a new 2022 BMW X7. Best suv my family has ever owned. The ride is unbelievable. Also I can finally talk to my clients on the phone while driving on bluetooth with no road noise in fhe background.
Have this X7 for the last 3 years, never had an issue where light from the crystal shifters reflects into eyes, it is an excellent vehicle and comfortable SUV
It happened to me once in the X5 but I still rather have the glass.
Never had issues with crafted clarity on my car either. I would however have some complains: because of the third row amenities(i.e. 3rd row climate controls on the ceiling and cupholders) the cargo area is actually smaller than gls, windows roll down so slowly, CarPlay keeps disconnecting, when you fold down all of the seats front seats move and don't come back, even after you unfold everything back. Bowers & Wilkins system takes a lot of tweaking to sound good, yet mercedes burmeister sound better even from factory. If you don't have executive drive pro suspension it is actually quite stiff. The car won't open exhaust flaps when stationary, even in sport plus. Fuel consumption is nuts and the fuel tank is way to small. However it is a great car driving wise, looks wise, build quality wise.
@@dmitrycarter9795 at least your X7 has vents in the third row. We have an X5 and an X7 and we didn’t realize until after we got the car that it doesn’t have vents in the third row because all the reviews we saw had them but it’s an additional “cold weather package.” Ridiculous a cheaper Volkswagen can come with third row vents standard but BMW can’t give you them in their most expensive SUV. The cup holders back there are also too small and the fuel is horrible at around 15mpg. Sometimes even less. The X5 gets around 21 mpg but it does have the mild hybrid system.
How do you compares the comfort of the back seats to the gls?
No issues with my glass shifter, I love it!
1) I install a Thule Motion XXL roofbox to help with the storage issue. 2) I tinted the window and wear sunglass. The reflection is never an issue for me. 3) I use X7 to carry family to place safely. I don't care about 1000 hp from the Tesla and it is irrelevant for me. 4) I haven't had a single issue in 2 years of my ownership and keep fingers crossed.
I have a bmw x7 and I have taken it on a 6,000 mile road trip and never had any problems
How is it going ? I'm thinking of upgrading my BMW guy said the tires don't last too long on the x7 like sub 20k miles a set
@@whatsgoodmyguy4391 depends on what tires u get. Also get the tire and rim protection so u don’t have to worry about flat tires. You just pay a small amount to replace them. I have the maintenance and extended warranty and never paid a lot of money
Still no problems?
The lacking trunk space is a problem…
The tall kidney grill looks really good on their SUVs but their sedans need to stay with the wide kidney grill
Who the hell cares what you don’t like. One of the most reliable and value for money SUV out there with a silky smooth drive.
My thought too, just like yo mamma.
1. Buy a roof pod 2. Delete Glass shifter 3. Price is reflective of quality, performance and handling 4. I have had an X7 since July 2019. Not 1 issue 5. Grille is awesome. Maybe you should stick to performance side of vehicles, just saying. Thank goodness you didn't mention MB GLS. Awful car. X7 so so much better than a Lincoln or a Jeep. Not even close.
The new Jeep Grand Wagon is not sext AT ALL. My neighbor brought one home and we talked him out of it.
The “maybe you should stick to performance side of vehicles” is quite a useless and passive aggressive remark. State your opinion without the jab. Ridiculous.
@@nwouso1 Just an opinion. We are all entitled to one.
But how do you fix the second row seats that don’t fold down flat like every other SUV on the planet? Useless SUV for cargo space.
Is v6 of bmw better than lexus gx460 v8?
First off, seven passengers should not be traveling in an SUV, they should be in a real caravan.
Anyone buying an x7 isn't looking at a tesla or jeep but other German cars like the benz gls or q7.
The X7 is the best luxury SUV for under $100k imo
100% agree, I'm looking to buy an X7 in the next few weeks but here in the UK there's a massive shortage of new cars coming in so second hand one prices have gone through the roof.
Consumer Reports ranked the x7 as best luxury SUV for 2021
@Subhash Mannava german cars are the best in the world. All of the most advanced, fastest and great luxury cars come from Europe, mostly Germany
Have a ‘22 x7 40i, it’s a great suv and not much problem. The only problem was when the 2nd row seat wouldn’t lock but still great suv and love it
So #4 thing you hate about the X7 is you like the grill but many others don’t? #5 thing you hate about the X7 is that you read it may have reliability problems, which you didn’t experience? Why don’t you simplify and just hate 3 things? At least you can stand behind those.
Did he really compare a large 7 seat luxury suv to a smaller egg shaped tin can like the model x 💀, they don’t really compete.
Model x has 7 seats, model x has more space, model x is so much luxurious for the back seats, like bigger screens heated seat in the 3rd row everything! Haters..
@@DannyDunking Are you talking about the Tesla ?
Great vid, Parker! Any chance you can give us your review of a Ram TRX?
I have a 2020 x7 and I love the car. It’s comfortable and powerful and have no serious issues in terms of reliability.
A few pet peeves/issues during my 3 yrs driving it:
1) It doesn’t have the rotary knob to control the AC. You have to physically press the up or down button to select fan speed and temp. I find it much easier and honestly safer to control it by turning a knob.
2. The parking brake alarm goes off if you drive at high speeds and hit a bump in the road. It’s a harmless alarm and i just keep driving. It goes away once you turn off the engine.
3. I can attest to the glare off the glass shifter and knob. It does make pretty prism rainbows but can be annoying. I just wear sunglasses and it doesn’t bother me.
Love the content Parker, keep it up 👍
Hi Vehicle Virgins, here is a question for you. What if cars were perfect without a downright, and is always reliable would you buy it and how are they going to look?
Been loving the videos keep it up!
Realistically theres only one rival for the X7 - its the Mercedes GLS. Both genuine 7 seat German super luxury vehicles. These huge American 7 seat SUVs- poor interiors, terrible build quality & nowhere near the same level of refinement as a BMW or Mercedes.
the diamond shift knob neve bother me at all. been enjoying it for the past 6 months
I just got the x7 and it’s coming soon and they said that they did a software update to fix the rear camera issue so don’t worry about it they listened to the reviews
I'm thinking of getting one. What's your thoughts about the car 3 months later?
@@TheAzeez I have it for over a year. m50d - it’s great, no issues at all. I got all options :)
Haven't visited this channel in a while, popped in and my boy is still on the grind. 🔥
well idk about what you just said. Have X7 buying new one. drove 100000kms with it absolutely no problems at all! NONE! fully loaded price is good, way better than GLS63, not as good as Bentayga but its an amazing car. Lincoln is just a house on wheels, BMW is a sporty SUV dont mix them plz. You need to look after your car tho, I buy new set of tires basically every second season. 2 winters and 2 summers and new summer and winter tires, because for security and gripiness. Overall one of the best SUVs in the market right now for SURE!!!
Saw you on fastest car!
Yeah me too it was awesome
I don't understand how you could even bring up the Tesla for a comparable vehicle. It's not anywhere close to an SUV like the others.
It is an SUV, dude. Its huge inside. And Tesla sells it as an SUV.
@@theadventureinsider Oh, my bad. I thought you were talking about the blue tesla you took a ride in last week. I didn't know that the Model X was offered in the plaid model.
Correction: @6:20 “front windshield wipers” ripped off. I read that report and the did lose a wiper, but it was the rear wiper.
Made these cars so many times at BMW in SC
Great video!!
Can you do a review of BMW X6 Competition?
theres still quite a bit of space under the trunk…, I have the x7 m50i and its been dang reliable for me (w proper maintenance)
Picking up my 2022 x7 m sport tomorrow 🤓
Great points! I agree! Keep em coming!
5 things king 👑👑👑👑👑 great work.
Is there plug-in hybrid or hybrid on X7?
I’ve had it for more than a year - never did I have a glare. I don’t know how you got it 🤷♂️
Review the i40 with the bench. That version appears to have better reliability
I just bought a 2020 used with 56k miles and it runs like a dream. No issues with the electronics either.
@@michellefigley9637what mileage have you put on it, any problems or repairs since your purchase?
Comparing the tesla model x with the x7 , try ot this way imagine they are same in acceleration and power ,you will understand that the tesla stands no chance
Had both, x p100d is absurdly quick but lacks utility for price paid. My X7 M50i is marginally better, lol….
@@jrekasie p100d? Love how your comparing an old model to a new model, model x plaid has so much luxury features! Like a big screen in the back unlike bmw small screen and small space..
I miss these short “5 things i hate” or “5 things i love” videos
I'm driving one since 5000miles. Never had any glare issue from the glass elements. Cannot understand what you are talking about?
Tbh if you really want to carry passengers (7) and cargo you really need a minivan
I was just watching the new S plaid video and when I went to watch it again it was no longer available it was pulled oh my god what’s going on !!??
same idk where it at
I have a brand new 2022 X5 with third row seating like the X7. Rear middle row seats are constantly throwing “seat not locked” codes and getting stuck in awkward positions. When this happens the on the driver side middle row seats, front seats automatically slide forward and make the vehicle unusable. Rear right middle seat is jammed up again and dealer cant get to it for 3 weeks. I have heard this happens to the X7 as well.
How did everything go was it resolved?
@@missincognito9168 Never got the seat issue resolved. So back to the BMW dealer again in Charleston, SC…again. No loaner car available either.
I own a 2021 X7 40i, great vehicle. Love it. No problems.
What’s the mileage on it now? Any problems or repairs?
What is the real fuel consumption rate for this car, because it is written 19 per gallon inside the city? What are the most common faults in it after 40 thousand miles? Please answer because I am thinking of buying this model from the year 2021.
thank you
Tint the windows and that would resolve the reflection issues...
Can you fit a golf bag in the back? Looks quite narrow
I bought the X7 M50 and a Model X for the mrs. the Tesla is surprisingly as comfortable as the X7 and we drive it more than the BMW. I’d buy Tesla but want gas car fall back. The X7 armrest heater has failed 2x. The speakers go out sometimes for some reason and the nav screen gets over heated if parked outside for a while in the summer or if I take it to Arizona or Palm Springs. I’ll dump the X7 as soon as warranty is set to expire, the storage sucks and for the crystal shifter… I tinted the sun roof so I have no glare. Also the tires burn out every 9 months so I ripped off the run flats and now should get 2 years at 1/4 the cost
Cadillac CT5 blackwing? C8?
Well, at least you were wearing your Tom Ford Glasses while critiquing the X7.
It's refreshing to hear an automotive journalist talk about reliability. Keep up the great work Parker. Great job.
Hey Parker!
With this vehicle's weight you are hard pressed to go with no lower than the 50i trim...but roll the dice with the notorious N63 hot vee V8 twin-turbo
I am seriously considering this vehicle. But a friend of mine who is a certified BMW mechanic has said to buy any BMW that doesn’t have a V8!! Ugh.
BAC mono review?
ri·dic·u·lous 😂
That's a good point on the storage. I can't believe they don't give you more cubic space for a 7 seater!
Don’t forget this car is also solt in Europa and if you want more truck space you need to make the car even bigger and this car doesn’t even fit in any parking spot here in Belgium so if you want to make it even bigger its just not drivebel in EU anymore
@@borstijn5014 I didn’t even realize that.
Man get a pickup truck 😂 LoL
The sun issue is the most important thing
THANK YOU For mentioning the WAGONEER.
A Grand Wagoneer would be my choice over all the rest of these.
I'm just a tad bit confused. Like yes its nice...But its a Jeep!
JEEPS are cheap and unreliable .. go to consumer reports … another loose fall apart cars after 30000..
@@mikewade1893 Consumer Reports has a Grand Wagoneer with over 30,000 miles, or are you just full of s#t? Do you even know which model the OP was talking about?
@@mountainhobo my friend works at dodge as well my moms debating between this or a wagoneer he said go x7 since dodge interiors are cheap and tend to fall apart within a year
I had to change my Jeep Grand cherokee L Summit Reserve for this beautiful X7. Too many issues with the Jeep and my service advisor told to avoid the Grand Waggoner because is worst. So far I love my X7.
It looks like a mini van
Good to see you again Parker 👍👍
Dude! How friggin long do you want BMW to stretch the darn thing, 😂! Now the sunlight reflecting off the crystal shifter etc, yeah, a legitimate complaint…
first of all mclaren is a hypercar and COMPARING TO AN OFFROADER???!!!! WHAT THE HECK???
ITS LIKE ASKING CAN THE MCLAREN CLIMB UP THE ROCKY HILL!!!!! IF YOU COMPARE IT WITH THE Land Rover THE MOST EXPENSIVE ONE THIS BMW HAS MORE SPACE WITH 3RD ROW UP
bro, almost every car not all cars with a three seater have less space
like tesla
You won’t get your money back with the Lincoln nor the Jeep Wagoner. But they do look cool.
I have a 2022 x7 m50i and i can say this is the best suv i ever owned.
have you had reliability issues with it? was thinking of getting the 2020 x7
@osamamujahid so far no issues, just the regular maintenance.
Honestly, most of these points weren't valid or weren't right, the x7 and BMWs in general are quite reliable and you can not compare the x7 to those cars you mentioned and you mentioned a lot of your opinions too...
Just get some tints😂
Sunlight reflecting off of glass controls. Really?
The black label is beautiful
Have had X5s And Now X7 M50i….no problems,
I would Rather lease it than buy it then.. since bmw gives you free maintenance for the entire term of the lease (36 months or 36k miles) and warranty is 4yr or 50k. Competitors do not give you free maintenance like mercedes etc..
👌
Keep grinding Parker and your views will come back 👍
Damn this thing is goofy fr lol
Been driving a new range rover vogue every 2 years since 2007 , just bought the new x7 love it what an awesome ultimate driving machine
How many things does the X7 hate about you?
I’ve had my X7 for nearly two years and have not had the least little thing go wrong, unlike the pie e of crap Licks-ass that I had, which started going bad after 3 months!
I love my X7 ❤️i bought in Germany
Sorry but you've obviously not reviewed other 7 seaters - the Navigator is feet longer. Like my professor used to say It's Physics Stoopid.
This is a bmw an luxury elegant car not storage hauler
40,000 miles is high mileage? 😂
This Or Dodge Durango or Ford Expedition
3:42 Tesla has bad build quality. It gets immediate disqualification
Get an Escalade
7 people that is not a bus jezus
Tell me you didn’t compare the x7 to Tesla that has no off road capabilities
one thing I hate... my Ascent has just as much room seats up and down and its classified as a mid size suv. My X7 is a great drive and as long as i don't transport more than 5 people, trunk space is not an issue. Then again the Ascent is my daily and workhorse and the X7 is my going out and tennis/golf club car.
I think that it is definitely big enough i just think Americans because me living in Europe i know people that own them they like it because its diferent compared to other things on the road
This guy has to be from California
I mean …really ? You would spend 113k on a battery operated “golf cart” that has no appeal other than fitting in the “ I am so good to the planet” narrative….even though there is nothing green about electric cars
Can’t believe the second row seats don’t fold down flat. What a joke BMW.
Ayeeee
Do bmw x7 2023
Comments Help
Meh. We do road trips. Fuel economy matters, as do quick pit stops. Take this over US rivals.
You are comparing a Lincoln to a BMW X7-? I don't think people will take you seriously.
I thought I was the only one who noticed it! Agree 100%!!!
The shape works for the X5, it’s just tooooooo much for the X7. Interesting to see if an X8 comes onto the market.
U r right about price but u can not compare Tesla , Lincon or Lexus Dude. U r talking about Germany car or Italy car always be expense and dream for million people. People buy a damn kia and they love and u talking about silly things. People who buy those kind car don't care .
Obviously having all 7 seats up will take up all space. that is how SUV;s are made.
