"Hardware to /air/ air" had me rollin 💀
@@24k__J or more like rolling in a nutshell.
I think it's "air-are." hardwARE airARE
Lovin the sneaky collaborations at the beginning.
I was rolling over that
You're easily entertained
4:27 I love how they go over a bump and while both bouncing up they simultaneously say "the new 8 speed"
It's like they've just loaded in from a video game checkpoint
@@R03333 😂😂
THE NEW 8 SPEED in unison
they were 100% in sync😅
that's pure poetry
James face when thomas said at 13:56 "Speaking of things to play with, the knob got smaller" 😂😂😂
i know, so good
You chaps are the greatest thing to happen to auto reviews since the Tremendous Trio of Top Gear! God Bless and keep up the great work!!
Amazing intro guys! I don't know how you keep one-upping yourselves but you do. Having not one but TWO great automotive Jasons on board for this one is just perfect.
"In a not so distant future", seemingly an excellent opinion.
These guys😂 EXCELLENT!
@@carsbykev7037 agree. So excellent.
Exactly what I was thinking about the 2 Jasons! The intro and the comedy is really the only reason why I decided to watch this video as I don’t care about overweight SUVs, even if they can beat some sports cars in a straight line
@@mattl6584actually SUV’s are amazing and most popular now because they feel light because of horsepower Yes they are heavy but with that much horsepower do feel lighter since the car is lifting off air a bit and removes weight or makes it feel lighter But for sure will never be like sport car sedan or coupe of course but if I had money honestly suvs for me are best choice because I get both of world comforts sport and sitting high feels nice and winter in Canada and space For me for now I can in future afford a used m340 or something maybe m550 2019 or 2020 but I definitely can’t afford a sport suv from bmw or Benz big ones like x7 or gls 63 Benz suv Again if I had the money I would definitely get x7 sport m model or Benz gls 63 Used second hand maybe 2020 however again I’m a broke ass and I can’t even afford m340 sedan sport now bmw so if I’m lucky in a year maybe just maybe I can afford 2019 or 2020 bmw m340 with maybe 40k or 50k km on it which means I really really have to take care of it because after another 50k km I’ll have issues and better be prepared unless im really lucky and don’t have issues not all bmw and merdeces owners have issues depends on how you drive how you take care of it but some do take care of them and still get issues so again has to go based on maintainable and luck with these cars I see comments people saying if you take care of it you won’t have issues there are people coming out of dealers and some months later get issues barley driving them so 100% there is luck with these cars they are not consistent like Honda or toyota or other reliable cars or SUVs I have driven bmw and Benz 10 years ago and that was 10 years ago old cars were new at that time and they were amazing driving them most amazing thing I ever drove I can’t imagine how nice and amazing is driving bmw or Benz now or past few years must be amazing I won’t take from how best expertise Benz and bmw is but if you have money 100% best cars to pick or SUVs if you broke like me stick to what you can afford lol or get a 2 or 3 years old one like I mentioned m340 and pray and keep praying not to have issues everyday and ask god to help you lol
Omg, how the heck do they come up with these intros!! So good and love the cameos!
GC Angeles, i bet the BMW X7 M60i looked quite overrated in my opinion.
@@purwantiallan5089 it’s a heavily depreciating pile of crap
@@squidwardshouse67 Like every single other new car in that price segment... Both the GLS and Q7 depreciate just as much in just as short of a span of time.
@@squidwardshouse67 Not in this market. It will still be almost MSRP in 2025.
This one's going straight to the tuner shops to get that extra 50 or so horsepower freed from the enviro-tuning that BMW has to slap on for emissions. Hilarious intro with the Jasons too! Keep pushing the bar higher!
I'm happy that manufacturers are recognizing that you guys have paid your dues and are putting out great reviews. If they are not competing to make it to your channel they are foolishly not paying attention. Well done.
👍👍👍
This a customers car though. The manufacturer has nothing to do with this video.
Thank you😊
This is the power of youtube - love the collaboration between multiple journalists. This is going to be huge soon as somebody will pay for a show. Hagerty, i'm looking at you!
@@24k__J yep. U need tons of money actually.
The combination of cinematography and humor on this channel is enough to get me to watch anything. But then you add cars. Ah yes, the cars. Love this place.
The X7 looked cool there man.
These two (and their team) consistently put out content that's on par with the best in the industry Top Gear UK (Old/New), Grand Tour, Etc.... Great job as always!!
That is fantasy.
@@bighands69They absolutely do. The fact that they have this consistent level of quality with such a small team of people is an incredible feat. These guys are the real deal.
Having Jason from EE doing the commercial was genius. Once again, well done.
Thomas and James are just absolute car journalist chads ... by far the best out there
Check out carwow 👍
@@sadeqhabibi5567 Carwow is for children and middle aged MG drivers
@@sadeqhabibi5567 nah dude
They're excellent. I also like Rory from AutoTrader.
@@benjaminsmith2287 L journalist
I love how BMW finds the best engineers but the worst designers🤣
Pranav, this BMW X7 M60i looked like quite overrated in my opinion.
I think it looks good!
The headlights are from 2077
Nah this design definitely looks nice atleast in its suv form. The regular 7 series not so much but this looked nice
It won’t age well
The intro was truly amazing! Love the channel. Keep up the good work 🤩
It’s great to see fellow colleagues in the automotive world having a good laugh with each other. That intro reminded me of the Kimmel Fallon collabs. Well done guys.
Great intro and dig at BMW😂
BMW X7 nailed it.
I really just adore your dialogue and delivery you guys. James' Englishness in contrast to Thomas' NEVER gets olds.
Throttle House always delivering something amazing.
Bravo on the intro. That was beautifully done and with 'the Jason's' . Just great job.
I logged of my TV to get to a device so I was able to like and comment on this video. You guys make awesome videos and this is one of them. Well done. The intro is simply epic!!!!!
7:35 That squirrel 🐿️ was about to get sacrificed for this video... ☠️🤣
Killer intro! Dystopic. Hilarious and made me watch the whole video even if I'm outside of the demographic. And the credits to the Jasons at the end were the cherry on top!
Best car reviewers out there by miles. So funny, most would cut out all the little mistakes (driving the kids work) but you leave it in. Absolutely awesome!
Cammisa AND Fenske in one intro? Man, this is getting GOOD.
I'm not a big suv lover and I never watch any suv reviews, but you guys found a way to make me watching this one. Dont worry I won't buy one because I hate them as hell, but your high production videos are always a pleasure to watch. Keep going!
Never say never.
Couldn't agree more.
land cruiser and rover are nice, everything else is inferior and not worth consideration besides trophy trucks turned suvs every muv and crossover sucks
Iam sure a Range Rover is plush . But iam also sure it will stay super plush cause it will always stay at the dealership for repairs.
@@abewakim7726 unlike a bmw .....sure
Just brilliant. The best car content on KZhead! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great, honest review. I had exactly the same feeling when I test drove 2024X7 and GLS. I leaned in favor of BMW X7 and ordered one. Major factor was exterior styling/design and great tech features such handsfree driving on highway at 85 miles (driver assistance pro). I like the interior of GLS better then X7 though.
Hahahahaha-congratulations! That's your best intro ever! Watching ads to start your BMW and a one time heated seat application 🤣🤣🤣🤣 And the skits with Hagerty and Engineering Explained-cherry on top. 🍒
I cant believe bmw tossed their perfect front light game and went to copy hyunday’s
Literally!! I always hated the look of those Hyundai headlights, and now they put it on the x7! Who did they hire to design their cars 😫
That’s what happens when Hyundai hires away the former BMW M boss 😅
while bmw performance wise has taken such huge leaps i still cant digest by the looks that these are even bmw's....from pieces of arts to bloody cyborgs now..pfft hopefully these look better over time but nevertheless about to see a great review from yall!!peace (edit)-i will admit tho that the design for the XM etc might turn up better then the concepts but i hope they use the 3.0 CSL hommage concept design language more cuz that was brilliant!
Nailed it.
@@ikhoonyejelem2967 i mean cmon bro like i get design changes like most of its fine ig but what the hell are those headlights all about,like i cant especially digest that bit,like the headlights look like a chewed up beavers feces🤣🤣🤣🤣like look at merc and audi,they changed it quite a bit to the past and noones raising as many questions about it as bmw or even lamborghini for that matter who are changine things up but they still look awesome always!
@@ikhoonyejelem2967 this thing is painfully ugly. It's not even a design language that should make it to a piece of clay in the first place. The new 3 and 4 series are controversial but at least those have some beautiful proportions and a great rear 3/4's but this? This is as revolting as watching a kamasutra on wheels and the participants are your 90 year old grandparents. It would honestly look better as a flat faced featureless EV than this.
@@anidudee the split headlights remind me so much of Hyundai 😢
@@Carfan678 omg bruh ikr bmw 7 series lookin like a bloody tuscon is what the worlds come to lmaooo
"Call me what you want." That's funny. Start stop bit was awesome too.
I thought Hyundai was trying to go European with their design, I didn't know BMW was going Hyundai. Great BMW Kona XL iSport N7 review.
It was like part Kona/ Nissan rogue in the front with a BMW grille😂
I think nothing else brings me more joy than when I see youtubers collaborate. It literally lights me up.
Cup holder's that warm up or cool down your drink is the coolest accessory ever.This is the first time I ever heard of it!👍🏽
Killing it with the intro .... Like always.
That front end I cannot accept. I’m glad I bought the 2020 X7 where the looks will hold over time
Looks like a Mitsubishi lol
cry more baby
We have the 2021 40i. The 6 cylinder is plenty fast when you need it to be. It hits 60 in about 5.5 sec. It pulls well from any speed. Even at 100mph, if you floor it will still haul ass. Kinda amazing for a 3 ton SUV that still manages around 28 mpg on the highway.
Another awesome review. A quick comment on the intro - brilliant as usual, perfectly judged length. While some of your famous long intros became legendary, often less is more.
loving this channel, thanks guys!
Legendary cameos ! Had me laughing so hard :D And excellent review as always guys.
Love this! Both Jason’s made it even more amazing.
👍👍👍
Best intro yet. The looks on cammisas face was hilarious
been binging all the videos in the background while I play video games for a couple months, the cameos always make me smile
I swear you guys just keep stepping it up with the intros 🤣🤣🤣 best one yet and I'm sure I'll be saying that again on the next video
They got Jason and Jason on the intro. Well played.👌🏽
Omg love that intro Jason and Jason 😂
This is a great, funny and entertaining review. I love the intro.
I’ve actually been waiting on this review but from your review, I gathered that it’s not much to the new X7 M60i to be excited about. Thanks, great video!
Skip the m60 and get the x40. Having that kind of speed in 6k lb SUV is ridiculous and unusable especially when you take a turn. Waste of money.
Always on point gentlemen!!!!
That intro was perfect. Great vid, several LOL moments.
All of Thomases "wow"'s are so brutally sarcastic it's killing me 💀
It looks like BMW is borrowing design cues from Maytag.
The X7’s grill was never too large for me because it just suits the scale/proportions of it, The same cannot be said for the current generation seven series which can easily be described as offensive.
i know but if u black out the grill with msport proffinal package{i dont spell good} it looks sick as hell the 7 series
"new 8 speed" in sync killed me! 😂
Condensation in headlights in a brand new car,hm very premium quality right there!
That’s completely normal. They do kind of breathe so there can be condensation
@@skw2102 Why would they breath? I thought LEDs are supposed to be sealed. Water in a container full of electronics? What can go wrong?
I love you guys and the way you present cars, pros and cons. Thank you from Denmark 👌👍💗
Thank you also from a diehard lovelive fan, Purwanti Allan. 👍
I have one of these now. Everything is about the same as the m50i but the thinner steering wheel and smaller shifter give it a less sporty feel. Still monsterously fast and comfortable as a sofa.
7:35 shoutout to the squirrel that made it safely across the road.
I love the massive jump in power you get going from M50i to M60i 😂😂
X7 M60i only have 18bhp more than M50i.
@@purwantiallan5089 he’s joking 🤦🏻♂️
Should have the 760 v12.
It’s 10i better. That’s 20% more i.
@@witticisms 😂😂😂😂
Love the collaboration between KZheadrs. Well done guys.
your intros are legitimately hilarious, always good
as an owner of an m60i with the 23 inch wheels, I was super apprehensive about ride quality with those big wheels but there really seems to be no effect compared to the 22 inchers
Cammisa's contribution was brilliant 😂
I love the collars between different channels wow this duo has come along way 😊
James's jacket is one of the most Canadian things ive ever seen.
Perfect amount of Jason in here 🤌🏾
There should be an Emmy category for best KZhead Cold Open. You two would walk away with it every year.
13:57 James: "Speaking of things to play with...There's a knob that's gotten a bit smaller"😏 14:01 The look on Thomas.🤨 🤣
His look after is fucking killing me 😂
Great review. By 4:00 I knew everything I needed to know. Thanks.
the sync on the "new 8 speed" was great
I’ve always loved the BMW X7, it’s my dream SUV! I kinda like the big grill that it has, it kind of gives it some presence. Great review guys! 👍🏼
Best intro yet 😂
Best intro TO DATE! *golf clap*
Yal are the most hilarious car channel ever. My second time watching since revived 1st but just hilarious yall are
I love how they both said "8 speed" in the same time
The intro with Jason Cammisa was fantastic!
Amazing intro! Love it!
A face only a mother could love on this one
Lol....those quad eyes aren't growing on me yet
Don’t care for the vehicle one little bit, but I absolutely LOVED the way y’all reviewed it, thanks as always !!!
I'm looking forward to seeing Jason come on y'all channel more
Excellent review!
James: "But what about fuel economy?" Thomas: "What about?! You just bought a twin turbo V8 SUV. How much can you truly care about fuel economy?" 🤣🤣🤣 7:35 Squirrel running for it's life.
I can’t wait to text drive the new Alpina X7, that would be bonkers
Alpina X7, BMW M6 Alpina GT3, and Ford GT Concept 2002 also.
Don't text and drive!
The owner of the club i work owns one. Brand new. Im a valet parking dude. And yes. Is bonkers
That Jim office look at the camera 😂 “speaking of things to play with”
These lads crack me up, best car channel
That intro 🤣 Don't give them ideas😅
So basically sport plus mode all the time with 5 mpg 😂 love that interior. I bet you can unlock more power out of the engine easily. Awesome video guys.
Love the guys and the cameo but I find it hard to get excited about cars so expensive
lmao i love Thomas' expression at 13:59. very subtle
Loved the "Air Air" - and the blackout package looks like it should be the base model.
I remember the E60 being called the ugliest BMW ever and now it's a classic. BMW design has always been 10 years ahead and the new X7/XM is no exception.
The E60 still ugly tho
OMG Cammisa had me DYING in the beginning!!!
Excellent review! ❤
The interior design of this makes me miss the E90 generation dashboard where the screen was integrated. Also the F10 5 Series and E82/88 1 Series did integrated screens really well
How did you get past the FUgly exterior?
Alot will hate it's design, but hats off for designers that took risky approach in these BMWs, unlike Mercedes that majority just look exactly the same lol
i too love a big fat nostril on my car
That intro and outro with Jason and Jason 😂
Such good production on this channel!
The intro is hilarious!😂
Great review, loving the new Nissan Rogue! So glad they went with that headlight design so we can recognize it as a Nissan product from a mile away :)
I was thinking Juke.
the intro alone was enough to give an automatic like
