Just traded this for the Escalade and for the reason you pointed out… space. I’m a BMW guy through and through but the X7 was not spacious enough for my active family. Performance is great, and if you don’t need a true 6 passenger SUV, then you’ll be happy with this. But if you want luxury and functionality, the Escalade wins every time. Side note, the Escalade was supposed to be my wife’s… she hates it and is now driving my M5 😭😭
@@ZeratulMTG As someone who traded in a ‘20 Navigator (which I loved) because i was ready for something sportier, i will never comprehend how the x7 is called a large SUV. It’s mid-size at best. I almost didn’t get the x7 m50i because it almost felt like a little hatchback in comparison LOL, but it quickly grew on me. She’s a beauty!!!
I’ve had 3 Escalade Esv’s. 15/16/18 when they redesigned them and made them look cheap. I refused to buy one. Plus I needed to downsize a tad. The xt6 was a real piece of garbage. I bought a x5 4.0i. Love the quality and refinement. The service is also top notch. But I never had any complaints from my caddy. They treated us very good!
Similar build to my wife's 2022, except she chose white/blue interior. She loves her Audi's and BMW's. We do wish they had an optional 20" wheel. Early December we went out on a coffee run after our workout and she hit a Texas pot hole in heavy fog. Both right side wheels were bent... To our surprises the thin lightweight wheels weren't cracked and the tire didn't slip a bead. Called the dealership and they set us up with their authorized repair shop. Neither one of us had ever seen the machine used to re-round wheels! Took only 30min and we were on our way. Did order the 21" wheels!!! A must.
Test drove an X7 last year and it has the nicest interior, by far, of any vehicle I have ever been in. Blows away the interiors in the Escalade, Navigator, Aviator, Q7, and XC90 easily. The materials and build quality are far beyond anything any of those offer.
I own this exact model and I have to say, I prefer to cruise at the speed limit. It's so quiet and comfortable, going fast just isn't the most interesting part of driving it.
Joe I’ve been waiting for your review of the M50i version of this, having seen your videos (multiple times) about the X5M, X5 M50i and X7 xDrive40i. I ended up ordering a 2022 X7 M50i set to be delivered to my local dealer in a couple of weeks and I can’t wait! The performance of it really is mind boggling; not only the acceleration but the ride quality and cornering. Silly!! Anyone in the market should drive this car before they buy a GLS, Escalade, Range Rover etc. Keep up the good work.
Very fancy! Seems more like the size of a Tahoe than an Escalade. I’d need to win the lottery to afford any of them lol. Thanks Joe. You and Lori ARE the best in the biz!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks for this video. I think many people will apreciate it. If you want a fun ride buy the X7 but if you have a family (like I do) the Cadillac it's your choice, in fact now I'm sure what to buy. Thanks again.
I love how even though this car costs over 100k, BMW is nice enough to give you space to put your tacos or chalupas from taco bell behind the infotainment screen. Thank you BMW that's all I've ever wanted
I own both a Cadillac and BMW and what I can say is if you want performance with a little bit of luxury, buy a BMW. If you want luxury with a little bit of performance, buy a Cadillac. I own a 2020 BMW X3M COMP and a 2021 CT4-V. Great review as always and that X7 is a beast of an SUV. My Comment is of course comparing the X7 to an Escalade. The new Escalade is super luxury and tech. I am digging the limo override features. BMW did this with many of there cars back in the day. My father owned a 745i with a Radio in the rear arm rest and passenger seat controls.
I love your reviews the most of any I've seen. I have a Lexus RX getting here this week and I'm still watching your videos because they are so much fun. Keep killing it!
I love the Caddy and it's old school body on frame SUV approach along with the space but the BMW manages to make a tall heavy vehicle ride and handle like a car without sacrificing on practicality. The X7, in my opinion, is basically 2 cars in 1. A fast sporty luxury sedan with SUV capability and space.
I want to make some correction here. It’s not the body on frame like Escalade but the uni-body instead. Its uses the same chassis as of X5 and stretched to accommodate 7 passenger vehicle and still give you a nice aggressive suv drive unlike boring truck drive as Escalade or Tahoe etc.
I have this car, and love it. Drove the Escalade and the Mercedes GLS, and liked this one best. Especially love the fact that it has a mode to allow me to keep the sport exhaust mode on even when I'm not driving it in sport mode.
Just got a 2022 X7 M50i used and it is a phenomenal car. I also have an F10 M5. I love my M5, but the X7 is significantly more comfortable relative to suspension compliance due to that first rate air suspension. The X7 is ridiculously fast and such an accomplished family hauler.
Your X3 review put the final Check in my box I placed my order received my 2022 X3 last week exact spec as this well similar cognac interior alpine white exterior and optional 20’ orbit grey and machine wheels! 900 miles on it so far and I’m in love. BMW is the ultimate freaking driving machine it’s really unbelievable how they manage to make suvs drive similar to their 3er and 5er! I am also given a complimentary track day experience free of charge at the Spartanburg performance center this coming February. Joe you are fantastic and the MRS behind the camera! Fantastic review as always
Got to ride in one of these a few months back. I was amazed at the balance of sorry and luxury when it came to the suspension! It's almost as if the signed was perfect enough just to eliminate the harsh bumps but soft enough for you not to be rattled. Id take it over the gls because of style and the engine
I'd choose this over the Navigator or Escalade any day. BMW definitely delivered with the luxury touches. I hope Lori didn't stand out waiting in the rain while you went on throttle lol. #bestinthebiz
I own this exact model and I have to say, I prefer to cruise at the speed limit. It's so quiet and comfortable, going fast just isn't the most interesting part of driving it.
BMW coming in large and in charge with this X7!!! Merrrrrrrrrrcyyyyyyy!!! I see a few if them in my school's pick up line and they do look the business!!! Thanks for this super-sized review here Joe and Lori!!! Y'all staaaaaay killing it out there day in and day out!!!
I have a 2019 BMW X7 and its best vehcile I ever bought! No issues what so ever with it since new. The color is Vermont Bronze and it was only for 2019 so Ive been told by the Service Department. I get so many compliments on it...people actually find me in a store to ask what color it is...LOL!
I applaud bmw in making their first full-size suv. I like it. It’s an attractive suv and it’s a under the radar suv. Not many people talk about it but I believe it will start making names with the long time competitors in this class of cars
Under radar SUV? Maybe only if you are interested in American SUVs. Personally, I would never buy those big, container like, built and driving like trucks American SUVs. Maybe therefore I don't understand that somebody could state that X7 is under radar.
I’ve been given the X7 40i as a loaner multiple times here in socal, super impressed with the quality compared to my current BMW. For me, the free service AND a $80,000 loaner makes BMW ownership worth it for me. Looking forward to taking delivery of a 22’ M3 xdrive soon🙏🏽😎
@@HCG when you take your mom, dad and girlfriends car for service because you love getting the free loaners that allows you to go more often than if you only had 1 BMW😎👍🏽 (nothing wrong with free oil changes, brakes and tires)
You could sell a bucket to a whale, you make these cars even better than they really are sometimes, i just simply love this channel. You remind me of the old Cadillac car sales man
I feel you exaggerated the 3rd row space, it’s extremely spacious and we use the x7 as our daily driver. It’s the best in its class and also u can’t compare the x7 to the navigator or Escalade cause they’re different classes, it should be compared to the discovery or gls. This is also the first car I’ve heard of having heated seats in the third row. Definitely the best in its class
I own a 2022 X7 40i. It is flawless. The V8 does give you a lot more power. I didn't need it in this type of vehicle. It does not have the cargo space with all three rows deployed that a full size has. That is the only negative I have found but I do not have a large family.
Thank god this bmw is all wheel drive because watching anybody on throttle in the rain these days gives me bad anxiety 😭… I was recently Involved in a fatal accident in my mustang where I was racing a corvette over 100 mph on the freeway while it was raining when I suddenly lost traction, spun around in front of an 18 wheeler which almost ran over and killed me, and then I luckily managed to spin around one more time out of the way of the semi and hit the median instead. That experience changed my life because a tow truck driver behind me (who witnessed that accident take place) told me that I was incredibly lucky to survive an accident of that magnitude… he apparently has seen it happen a lot before and was surprised to see me walk out of my wrecked car without a scratch on my body. I don’t ever go more than 10 mph over the limit on the freeway anymore and never even think about racing anyone anymore. Y’all stay safe out there ❤️
I think the European SUV are more like large SUVs compared to the the FULL Size American SUV from Cadillac, Jeep, Lincoln, GMC , Infiniti and so one. The Japanese Like Lexus fits this also. THe MB and the X7 are really nice, super expensive to maintain but really not on size with the American SUVs. The X7 is really well though of by BMW for sure and you can’t go wrong. Great Review also Joe and great Camera work Lori.
Yo Brotha! Keep it up with your positive energy. Ps my wife and i just put in our order! We should be receiving our 2022 BMW X7 M50i in 3 more weeks. And Ps the Caddy just has way too many issues. That’s why we purchased the BMW
Hey Joe and Lori (and everyone else who read this comment) first of all, how are y'all. And thanks you Joe and Lori for bringing 1 of the 2 main large Luxury SUV from Germany. The BMW X7 is BMW biggest SUV and it main rival is the Mercedes Benz GLS. Now you are Review the X7M, (which haves 523 hp), but it's not the "Ultimate" BMW X7, that title haves to go to the BMW XB7 Alpina (which have a crazy 613 hp in a 3-row luxury German SUV). But what full size SUV would you choose, 1 of the "Germans" (BMW X7 or Mercedes GLS), or the "Americans" (Grand Wagoneer, Wagoneer, iconic Cadillac Escalade, the Chevrolet Tahoe (or Silverado), GMC Yukon Denali). Disclaimer: they're more SUVs, but these are the more noticable full-size SUVs not Midsize SUV like the Durango or Audi Q7 and when I say BMW X7M= BMW X7 M40i
@@RaitisRides Also I know if the Dodge Durango was a Full-Size, you would choose it, and I think your favorite brand haves to be Dodge (the only bad thing about dodge is that it's a bit dated compared to today's standard, but with all of that power, a bit of dated technology isn't that bad)
I like the way the bmw looks . But i love the way the escalade looks on the road. Looks like it owns the road will wait til the v series is out.. lori is best in the business
Awesome Beemer! I have an X3 for a while and looking to upgrade. I even had an E30 M3, a 2006 530i and a 330i all bought new, Great cars other than the 530i was a bit troublesome.
The X3, X5, and X7 are BMW's bread and butter. Say what you will, they nailed the "upper middle class" vehicle perfectly. You really can't say anything bad about these. They are exceptionally well built, with a ton of features, interior quality you simply can't get on any car other than maybe their fellow Germans and Lexus, and the dynamic excellence that is BMW. I don't really care for SUV's but if I had to go SUV it would only be BMW, the F-Pace SVR, or the Stelvio Quad. That's it.
Not a fair comparison..X7 is AWD while Cadillac is 4X4 which is superior for winter and off roading. A mechanic will argue for Cadillac because BMW is unreliable and parts way more expensive. Regardless, you give the best reviews of any auto reviewer
Mechanic will argue for Cadillac because BMW is unreliable? How mechanics are making money? AWD vs 4x4 in SUV being any problem / one better over the other one in winter? I am driving over 10 years X5 in blizzard conditions with all season tires. Never got stuck. Not sure what you are talking about.
Depends what you use your vehicle for. Most people that purchase an X7 will not be using it as an off roading work truck so AWD is great for snow... I don't know of any Escalade owners that take their trucks off road... if an off roader is what you are looking for, you are better off with a pickup.
Hey buddy I love your video always great R you gonna doing any GLS580 or GLS63 New model 2022 or if they have 2023 on I’m in Nashville so I’m looking for so thanks
Having owned several....and I mean...more than 8 BMW'S in my life...I can honestly say that if they were reliable, I would have never quit buying them, but they aren't, so I went the Lexus route, and I have ZERO complaints. That being said, I'd rather own the Escalade for the same reason. They're just more reliable.
Just got a quote for this same car from a local BMW. MSRP + Options + Tax + Dealer's Cut+ 3.9% APR Interest 60mos. = 130k usd. I would say I will probably just wait for the 2022 LEXUS LX 600
Not too long ago a 12.3 inch touchscreen was a luxury exclusively to German cars. Now it's become quite common in more affordable suvs like the MDX, Highlander, and even the new Kia Sportage. The Germans better step up because everyone is catching up!
The 2 German full size SUV’s, the BMW x7 and the MB GLS are still considerably smaller in size than their American competition, the Navigator and the Escalade. Small leg room and cargo space. They also don’t come with a LWB option. However, their looks and level of luxury are unmatched.
@@Christoph-sd3zi not true. With any car you have to take care of it such as when maintenance is due. It applies to used car from irresponsible people, not getting it service when it needed then there will be even more problems. Don't buy used car if you do lot of research.
@@chanzo7950 agreed. Buy a car from somebody who abused it, you will cry. BMW are more sophisticated than camry or Silverado 1500. It drives like a proper car and needs maintenance. If you need a means of transport to move from A to B, you don't necessarily need BMW.
Love the review Joe and Mrs Raiti! Thank you! Joe, would you lean toward this or the grand wagoneer? I personally think that this is king. Cheaper than the fully loaded GW, with more power and quality….
if I wanted a SUV which I dont this is probably what I would buy or the X5m50i.... have those 4.4 litre bmw v8 gotten more reliable? i know they have had a lot of issues in the past.
Personally, I’d say this is the best in its class. Fantastic interior, amazing styling, nice to drive
Good call on this X7!
Ya 💯
Joe, you and Lori do an outstanding job so I bought an X7 M50i. You sold me on this car.

Now you are Review the X7M, (which haves 523 hp), but it's not the "Ultimate" BMW X7, that title haves to go to the BMW XB7 Alpina (which have a crazy 613 hp in a 3-row luxury German SUV).
But what full size SUV would you choose, 1 of the "Germans" (BMW X7 or Mercedes GLS), or the "Americans" (Grand Wagoneer, Wagoneer, iconic Cadillac Escalade, the Chevrolet Tahoe (or Silverado), GMC Yukon Denali).
Disclaimer: they're more SUVs, but these are the more noticable full-size SUVs not Midsize SUV like the Durango or Audi Q7 and when I say BMW X7M= BMW X7 M40i
I am so glad that I could share this X7 with you. Of course I am so happy for you to share your great feedback!
@@RaitisRides Sometimes I feel bad that you or Lori have to read my long comments, when you have other people comments to read and comment on.
@@RaitisRides Also I know if the Dodge Durango was a Full-Size, you would choose it, and I think your favorite brand haves to be Dodge (the only bad thing about dodge is that it's a bit dated compared to today's standard, but with all of that power, a bit of dated technology isn't that bad)
Is it twin turbo? or twin scroll?
Yes Thank God I will buy one for myself
Sounds like a good plan!
I literally watched this video to specifically see you lower the rear by pushing the button on the lower tailgate but you didn't 😱 disappointed.
Thanks man! We try to show it all!
I like the way the bmw looks . But i love the way the escalade looks on the road. Looks like it owns the road will wait til the v series is out.. lori is best in the business
This is so very true!
Awesome Beemer! I have an X3 for a while and looking to upgrade. I even had an E30 M3, a 2006 530i and a 330i all bought new, Great cars other than the 530i was a bit troublesome.
Thanks for sharing your ownership experience Dean!
The X3, X5, and X7 are BMW's bread and butter. Say what you will, they nailed the "upper middle class" vehicle perfectly. You really can't say anything bad about these. They are exceptionally well built, with a ton of features, interior quality you simply can't get on any car other than maybe their fellow Germans and Lexus, and the dynamic excellence that is BMW. I don't really care for SUV's but if I had to go SUV it would only be BMW, the F-Pace SVR, or the Stelvio Quad. That's it.
Not a fair comparison..X7 is AWD while Cadillac is 4X4 which is superior for winter and off roading. A mechanic will argue for Cadillac because BMW is unreliable and parts way more expensive. Regardless, you give the best reviews of any auto reviewer
Mechanic will argue for Cadillac because BMW is unreliable? How mechanics are making money? AWD vs 4x4 in SUV being any problem / one better over the other one in winter? I am driving over 10 years X5 in blizzard conditions with all season tires. Never got stuck. Not sure what you are talking about.
Depends what you use your vehicle for. Most people that purchase an X7 will not be using it as an off roading work truck so AWD is great for snow... I don't know of any Escalade owners that take their trucks off road... if an off roader is what you are looking for, you are better off with a pickup.
Oh yeah that’s beautiful BMW.
I am so glad that you are liking this one.
I totally agree with. The inside is amazing with the wood and glass trim as well .
@@RaitisRides Most definitely when it comes to a BMW. Also sorry it’s meant to say that and not that’s.
@@Reaperguy67 Exactly!! The design team did fantastic.
@@mystictk4149 you are right about that
Would you pick this over 2022 GLs450?
Seats 💺 look incredible
I love the sporty and utilitarian look of the wheels.
WOW!!!!!! I'm Totally Love Your Reviews As Always Joe, Keep Going, Also I'm Totally Love The Brand - New 2022 BMW X7 As Well.
This thing is a beast!
Hey buddy I love your video always great R you gonna doing any GLS580 or GLS63
New model 2022 or if they have 2023 on I’m in Nashville so I’m looking for so thanks
Thanks for reaching out! I sure will!
Having owned several....and I mean...more than 8 BMW'S in my life...I can honestly say that if they were reliable, I would have never quit buying them, but they aren't, so I went the Lexus route, and I have ZERO complaints. That being said, I'd rather own the Escalade for the same reason. They're just more reliable.
I love how you show such enthusiasm when you drive exciting vehicles! I feel the exact same way when I drive my 2022 X3!!!! 🙌🏽
That is so wonderful! Thank you for letting me share my car passion with you!
Just got a quote for this same car from a local BMW. MSRP + Options + Tax + Dealer's Cut+ 3.9% APR Interest 60mos. = 130k usd. I would say I will probably just wait for the 2022 LEXUS LX 600
Oh wow that is crazy!
Not too long ago a 12.3 inch touchscreen was a luxury exclusively to German cars. Now it's become quite common in more affordable suvs like the MDX, Highlander, and even the new Kia Sportage. The Germans better step up because everyone is catching up!
Can You Make 2022 Honda Odyssey Elite
You got it brother!
I like how you censored the speedometer, mate. Need to avoid some tickets. haha
This is a review I have been waiting for a absolutely gorgeous BMW Joe
thank you laurie! the dynamic duo for excellent content
How is the depreciation?
Currently have a 2021 x7 4.0 love it, I think I want an upgrade now lol.. love the front facia design...
How she’s treating you?
Still get tons of compliments on the road?
The 2 German full size SUV’s, the BMW x7 and the MB GLS are still considerably smaller in size than their American competition, the Navigator and the Escalade. Small leg room and cargo space. They also don’t come with a LWB option. However, their looks and level of luxury are unmatched.
There is not comparison between these American containers on wheels with X7.
Hey joe can you compare with alpina xb7? with the interior
Will do man! Stay tuned!
Hey Joe! Can you review the 2022 X6 M50i sometime? 😎
For a second there I thought you almost said the F word on the seats 17:40 lol 😂
Mmmm that startup sound..... *drools
Privacy and data sharing , can it be turned off ? Like the vovlo cars ....
Aside from the looks and interior this one’s good competitor for the Escalade
I am glad that you think so!
They wouldn't call themselves "the ultimate driving machine" for nothing. It drives like a sport sedan.
Good call man!
Like all BMWs - just make sure you dump it when the factory warranty runs out.
@@Christoph-sd3zi not true. With any car you have to take care of it such as when maintenance is due. It applies to used car from irresponsible people, not getting it service when it needed then there will be even more problems. Don't buy used car if you do lot of research.
@@chanzo7950 agreed. Buy a car from somebody who abused it, you will cry. BMW are more sophisticated than camry or Silverado 1500. It drives like a proper car and needs maintenance. If you need a means of transport to move from A to B, you don't necessarily need BMW.
and as unreliable as a ford.
😂🤣 12:53 and 13:00 🤣😂 awesome energy all through... I am buying it... 💰 🤑 💸 💲
Love your videos everytime I need to look up a car I always look at your videos
Drop dead gorgeous car.
Drop dead high price.
When are you gonna review the new M240i?
Hopefully soon!
I absolutely love how the BMW drive. Beautiful SUV!
I am so glad that you are digging it!
Engine cover is incredible 😍
How is reliability on bmw?
Love the review Joe and Mrs Raiti! Thank you! Joe, would you lean toward this or the grand wagoneer? I personally think that this is king. Cheaper than the fully loaded GW, with more power and quality….
I am glad that you are into this X7! We appreciate you tuning in.
You can't get some features the fully loaded GW has in this plus the GW kills this in interior design and space. Oh and it tows 10k pounds.
That Jeep doesn’t belong in the same sentence as this BMW.
@@JBrown-go8ru why?
@@hellkitty1014 he doesn't know
if I wanted a SUV which I dont this is probably what I would buy or the X5m50i.... have those 4.4 litre bmw v8 gotten more reliable? i know they have had a lot of issues in the past.
Rims look amazing 👏 😍 ✨
The obscuration of the speedometer is a new one. LOL ;-)
Is bmw x7 better than lincoln navigator
Wait….did Joe just say Flava’ Flav? Ohhhhh you know what time it is!? Flavaaaa Flaaaaaavvvv! If ya’ know ya’ know. 😂
Heck yeah man!
