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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 tall kidney grill looks really good on their SUVs but their sedans need to stay with the wide kidney grill

The X7 is the best luxury SUV for under $100k imo

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.

Anyone buying an x7 isn't looking at a tesla or jeep but other German cars like the benz gls or q7.

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!!!

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.

First off, seven passengers should not be traveling in an SUV, they should be in a real caravan.

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?

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.

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.

Haven't visited this channel in a while, popped in and my boy is still on the grind. 🔥

Been loving the videos keep it up!

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

Saw you on fastest car!

Made these cars so many times at BMW in SC

Correction: @6:20 “front windshield wipers” ripped off. I read that report and the did lose a wiper, but it was the rear wiper.

the diamond shift knob neve bother me at all. been enjoying it for the past 6 months

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.

Can you do a review of BMW X6 Competition?

Picking up my 2022 x7 m sport tomorrow 🤓

Tbh if you really want to carry passengers (7) and cargo you really need a minivan

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

I miss these short “5 things i hate” or “5 things i love” videos

Great points! I agree! Keep em coming!

Great video!!

I own a 2021 X7 40i, great vehicle. Love it. No problems.

5 things king 👑👑👑👑👑 great work.

It's refreshing to hear an automotive journalist talk about reliability. Keep up the great work Parker. Great job.

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)

I’ve had it for more than a year - never did I have a glare. I don’t know how you got it 🤷‍♂️

Tint the windows and that would resolve the reflection issues...

Is there plug-in hybrid or hybrid on X7?

I'm driving one since 5000miles. Never had any glare issue from the glass elements. Cannot understand what you are talking about?

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

Review the i40 with the bench. That version appears to have better reliability

That's a good point on the storage. I can't believe they don't give you more cubic space for a 7 seater!

Can you fit a golf bag in the back? Looks quite narrow

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

Cadillac CT5 blackwing? C8?

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

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 !!??

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.

BAC mono review?

THANK YOU For mentioning the WAGONEER. A Grand Wagoneer would be my choice over all the rest of these.

Hey Parker!

Well, at least you were wearing your Tom Ford Glasses while critiquing the X7.

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..

The black label is beautiful

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...

The sun issue is the most important thing

I have a 2022 x7 m50i and i can say this is the best suv i ever owned.

Sunlight reflecting off of glass controls. Really?

Have had X5s And Now X7 M50i….no problems,

You won’t get your money back with the Lincoln nor the Jeep Wagoner. But they do look cool.

It looks like a mini van

bro, almost every car not all cars with a three seater have less space like tesla

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…

ri·dic·u·lous 😂

How many things does the X7 hate about you?

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

This is a bmw an luxury elegant car not storage hauler

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!

Keep grinding Parker and your views will come back 👍

I love my X7 ❤️i bought in Germany

Get an Escalade

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 Or Dodge Durango or Ford Expedition

Just get some tints😂

Man get a pickup truck 😂 LoL

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

👌

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.

Tell me you didn’t compare the x7 to Tesla that has no off road capabilities

3:42 Tesla has bad build quality. It gets immediate disqualification

Damn this thing is goofy fr lol

40,000 miles is high mileage? 😂

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

Meh. We do road trips. Fuel economy matters, as do quick pit stops. Take this over US rivals.

Ayeeee

Can’t believe the second row seats don’t fold down flat. What a joke BMW.

Do bmw x7 2023

7 people that is not a bus jezus

You are comparing a Lincoln to a BMW X7-? I don't think people will take you seriously.

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.

It's an office building on wheels. You could have stopped there. The X7 is everything that's wrong with the self importance of automakers vs. our own safety as human beings (as those around the vehicle). Front end might as well be a battering ram. You could seat seven comfortably in a package 5 inches narrower and 5 inches lower without much discomfort (and yes, to maintain the same floor comfort would require a longer nose, but excess is the name of the game with the X7, isn't it?). Speaking of which, the new 7-series sedan also looks like a car wearing a car on top of it, but that's another story. I will admit though that the tactile feeling of the climate controls is glorious. Such quality should be reflected on more consumer products. Where's the Jonathan Wards of the world when we need them?

This guy has to be from California

The shape works for the X5, it’s just tooooooo much for the X7. Interesting to see if an X8 comes onto the market.

Tesla cost me 100k no thank you I willbuy bmw every time
