Here it is, BMW’s all-new 7-seater SUV, the X7!

But is it the best 7-seater available today? Stick with Mat on his American road-trip to find out!

This channel has some major bias and especially towards German and British cars
He said “we are just gonna pull over here and buy a gun” 😱😂😂😂😂
@Nathaniel12345678910 4:57
And the reason we can is because of the English oppression ;)
Jason Norris other people can buy guns that live in countries not once ruled by the UK 🤔 I think what you are proud of, are our relaxed laws relating to gun ownership and control. The reason we can buy them is not necessarily because we are a free country. (If you have to be a free country, how did we have them to fight for freedom) Regardless, the reason there is a problem is because of their availability. His joke pokes fun at the fact that anyone can get a gun. You justified our ownership of a side arm with the all too cliche praise of the American revolution. The actual reason I can tell you my opinion without fear of repercussions is because I live in a free country.
Not pull over , stop there
Americaaa, f*ck yeeah!
Actually that big grill looks perfect for that massive car I like it
Jatinder multani, I agree. Normally the haters are people who have never owned a BMW or can’t afford one. 👌
Jatinder multani I also agree with you,it just looks perfect in my opinion
Jatinder multani I agree man the grill to car body ration is perfect for the X7
Grune D yeah bro I have one and I am buying x7 in August and you are correct they are poor and can’t afford
I also agrees
How big do you want the grill to be? BMW: Yes

Do an X7 vs Range Rover vs GLS video next plz
Not fair. The GLS has yet to be updated
Or a 4-matic GLC?
Nay agreed
GLS 2020
When the gls does come out
I'm amazed that the guy just came in the meeting room and said "yes... we'll go with those grills"
The cinese like huge grills, so there you have it; big is the new trend. Look at the new audis, same thing.
Looks nice
Pich Suy Ya me too, it was a great decision

Those grills are bigger than my future. Still love it though.

Damnit you were just in Greenville-Spartanburg filming and I missed it. I live in Greenville, SC and love your videos Cheers.
It’s always great seeing actual, popular reviewers doing a review where I work (BMW) and live! On roads I recognize even.
Really in love with this SUV. I think I would pick this over Range Rover, I’m sure reliability is better on the X7 as well as price and the tech. Only thing Range Rover is better right now is their luxury interior design but I’d still take the X7 in first place.
everyone would pick the x7. but tbh the exterior design is just a let down for me personally
I would go for land cruiser anyday just because of the reliability and off road experience
@@noorahmed9947 ..and cheap too😉
Benz GLS 500
Range Rover does boring interiors in my opinion.
that Grill though 0_0 Bling Machine!
The X7 looks pretty amazing in person (saw it at the Toronto Auto Show). Everything, even the giant grille, looks orders of magnitude better when you see it in real, and then you realize it all just works so well from a design perspective.
But the new one 😰
@@mahir6239 My original comment definitely doesn’t age well with the ugly new one, lol.
Matt, what did you do...? Ferrari doesn't let you anywhere near their cars and BMW gave you a nanny... :-D
He tried to do the big bottle test in a Ferrari, the guys didn’t like that.
he tried pointing the stick of truth down the wrong hole
Brilliant review as always Mat.
Thanks for this awesome review! My Mom ended up buying a new X7 today after watching your video!
The X7 is a beast, I love the design and front grill.
yep, its an awesome car although i do the prefer the mercedes GLS but they are both amazing cars
I can't stand the front grill
Mock it as much as you want for the grill, but you have to admit that that's the best full-size SUV in the market right now. I am waiting for the haters to tell me a better full-size SUV than that. And no, I'm not a BMW fanboy.
Mercedes G63 AMG
@@Heartsbane055 u dumb fuck its not family full size, it doesn't have 7 seats, does it ? and the x7 is more suitable for Q7 and cars like that and plus the G63 is much more expensive than this
@@crustyrustymayo4716 On point 👌
I think a GLS 63 is just as nice but not as luxurious as the X7. Lincoln Navigator is also pretty nice.
chancy319 wait on the new gls63 will smash this mate
Wowwww Thats Great Review Bro I Like IT.......
I saw this in the flesh and it looks even better than in the pics and vids
I was waiting for this!!! Thanx @carwow
Yes the kidneys are really big but it actually looks quite good.
Unlike on the new 7 series
They are not called kidneys anymore,they are lungs now.
They are not Kidneys anymore.they are Biggest Boobs Ever.i thought.
No.
I was VERY apprehensive about the way this thing looks at first. But honestly, tough it may not be as sleek as a Range Rover, in person it's much better than you'd think and the grille is not quite the first thing you notice. It's bold but nothing fakakta, just a large, well proportioned, serious looking SUV that still manages to be fairly distinctive. Especially if you avoid the M design noise and get the right wheels.
Pretty cool. You were in my hometown. Hope you enjoyed your stay.
0:56 It's so sweet that brits call it sun roof... they should call it cloud roof, cause it's the only thing they see through it :-)
LMAO
Shut the front door
Aint gonna lie that’s so true
If I remember rightly Toyota call theirs a Moon roof lmao
😂or rain drops 😂 I
I think it's the best looking 7 seater currently.
The gls is better looking
Unpopular opinion. It’s very practical for a family of 6-7 especially the 3rd row. Car could’ve been better but I’m sure it’ll grown on me. Power output is amazing too. I’m sold lmao.
HAHAHA talk about low standards.
Chris low standards? Get yo opel corsa driving as out of here
Uhh, how about Escalade, Navigator and the new Aviator?
Say anything you want about the grille and it does look weird and out of proportion on the 7 Series, but it actually looks okay on this big SUV
@@oguzkaanylmaz4571 but I could imagine a smaller one. Look at older x5's their grille is tiny in comparison to this one but they look great none the less. If they made this x7 grille like 20-25% smaller it'd be perfect imo
@@Grunt_007 Fair enough. I'm not saying it isn't oversized but they have already done it so what's the point of complaining?
@@oguzkaanylmaz4571 Well I hope they return to a smaller grille in the future... I'm not able to afford a car like this but If I could and would be looking to buy a large SUV, this grille would be a big reason for choosing one of BMW'S competitors for me... The rest Of the car looks great and it's obviously a great vehicle, but I would be a bit annoyed every time I looked at that grille.
Watched many car reviews and I love your style ! I really do !
Imagine family with 7 members going on a trip and the last two argue about not sitting in the back
Imagine a functional family with 5 kids
@@reidjordan4545 or 6 kids and a single parent
Mo Lee Escu or 7 kids and the youngest one that is 3 is driving
GLS would work best for this. I think X7 is a little small hence 3rd row legroom is crap.
Top notch mate. You've done an awesome job with this review. Watched every second. 🍻✔🔥👍😎🏄🖑
Driving both the new X5 and X7. I purchased the X5 50i M-Sport as it feels like a performance/luxury SUV in just the right size for a family of 4 or 5. The X5 feels more nimble and less top heavy. In fact the X5 M-Sport feels more like a performance sedan. The X7 is outstanding IF you need that third row all the time. The BMW “Laser lights” even in reduced USA programming are the most advanced and brightest lighting system I have ever seen or used. It will light up road signs so far ahead of you, they look like blue and green dots. So much brighter than LED or HID. As mentioned in the review, the plastic cupholders on the X7 rear captain chairs are unforgivably cheap. Both the X5 and X7 oozes style and class in ultimate luxury and their build quality in materials used. How such a cupholders was used in a visible place is unforgivable. If you are getting the X7, pass on the captain chairs for the traditional 3 seat adjustable bench. The big X7 feels like a big car where the X5 feels like a athlete even on its base 40i engine trim. The X7 still feels like a BMW in that there is a connection to the road, MB and Range Rover do not have. It’s more of a drivers car even in this big of form. The X5 50i is a beast feeling and performing like a full “M” performance car. Both X5 and X7 can be optioned out identically so the X5 is every bit as over-the -top in the luxury department a similarly optioned out X7 can be. You will pay for such luxury as a highly optioned X5 50i is well over $100k and the X7 is another $12k. The X7 looks better in person and the front grill isn’t as large or out of place as the Audi Q8. The X5 is by far more handsome and more aggressive looking than any of them.
ok
The real X5 M will knock your purchase out of the water 👌
Nice review 😊
Interior brown and black leather is just marvellous.. design just like the Lexus LX variant, but this X7 is really really awesome.. thanks bro 🤓💪💕
Test drove it , Loved it Ordered the Carbon Black MSport 22"wheels
That southern charm from that lady inside the Taco Bell's drive through. She was just sweet.
I don't see any charm.
@@Mahalakshmi-Khan I probably should have said her demeanor. It comes off as if she is really sweet when listening to her tone of voice and accent to me.
I think you're just horny chris
Real exhausts? Whew! That's a relief!
@@nonamesleft9699 Genetics 😂
@The Truth I think he was talking about the fact that inside those tips there are real pipes. They may not be the same shape and size as the tips, but at least they are there.
@The Truth Actually, nearly all of them have completely blocked exhaust tips while the pipes are behind rear bumpers and they point at the ground. Find a new Mercedes-Benz or an Audi (just to give you a couple of examples) and take a look, you'll see what I mean.
@The Truth Well, I'm not old fashioned, but sometimes older solutions are better. This BMW, for instance, is a touch more honest because of the way engineers created its exhausts and if exhaust pipes are behind rear bumpers and they don't even direct gases towards the rear, then fake tips are just poinless and unnecessary. Also, the carmakers might want to benefit from not having sporty exhausts, but they still just don't need any stylish fakery to keep their reputation high. To sum up: I appreciate honesty, even though the BMW is not the most honest of them all, but you see what I mean.
@The TruthYeah BMW isn't doing anything new besides still looking good fake anything on a 100k plus car is just disgusting to say the least. You get my point.
I love this review. I am trying to decide between MB GLS 450 and the X7. I love the X7 cognac interior. The way you climbed from the second row to the third was actually helpful. My 10 year old son could easily maneuver from 2nd row to 3rd.
always love watching mat to review cars. not only he's very funny but also he gives professional reviews
This channel keeps getting better. Doug Demuro, Harry's Garage and this Carwow are the best car channels.
Jay leno and shmee aswell
I used to like Raiti's Rides' channel but his delivery is kind of same on every review!
The plastic part where the rear cup holders are is probably because there is a pretty good chance that shoes are going to be dragged across it and a more expensive material will be ruined a lot faster.
It's close to the floor and is meant for cups and the ashtray... The few elements that aren't "premium" are the middle row cup-holder close to the floor and some buttons in the rear that you will barely touch or even see (seat controls in trunk and trunk buttons). Very sensible places to cut some costs.
Informative and entertaining video 👍🏻
I love this review,thanks for the video
BMW nailed this X7 and so was this review! Great work Carwow team and Matt!
Love the interior, and I actually like the design including the grille (but if people hate it and think it's ugly that's more than understandable). Though if I could change anything, I'd probably get rid of the rear seats and have more space for the occupants, or more room for the boot. Thanks for the video Matt!
Yeah and that "two seat upgrade" looks more of a downgrade to me, it made me think of one of those disabled/elderly peoples van.
Just get the range rover
If you got rid of the back seats wouldn't it just be an X5?
@@gilgameshkingofheroes4373 Isn't the X7 a little bigger than the X5 in terms of size? It would be like a proper limousine to utilise the space for more legroom instead of that extra row of seats imo
@@techpassion4126 hmmm true I see your point, they should just make that an optional extra than?
