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.
@Michael-zn2jc Жыл бұрын
@@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.

Absolutely love our X7. We took delivery in Jan of 2022, fully optioned it out, the m50i version. Cargo space is not a concern for us and we prefer the reduced length, it drives like our X5 before with no noticeable size upgrade. We are in Arizona and don’t have the reflective issue from the crystal but also tinted the windows so that resolves that issue. I hate the new front end they went to so actually think the grill with the laser lights looks really good! The only really gripe we had was tire life on the M50i is terrible and this because they are outfitted with summer traction with low tire tread wear. I think this is common with heavy suvs but we bought new wheels and sized them so we could do a better treat live tire. The tires it came with lasted 7500 miles of moderate driving and the others we were at 18,000 miles with plenty of tire left before my wife ran over a rzr blade or something that tore the tire beyond repair. For those on the fence, x7 is an incredible car. After almost 3 year my wife still is excited with that new car feel every time she gets in the car. It has plenty of power as well and looks so much better than the Tesla so I wouldn’t really compare it to that car especially when one of the gripes was storage for long drives, even the EV crowd doesn’t like the EVs for long travel.

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 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.

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
