The first impression in pictures of the car was disappointing, in real life it looks much better. I also had this feeling with the new M4 and M3, until you see them in real life.
This is a monster. I’m not much of a big grill fan but the big grills looks good on this one. The interior colour combination is good! Definitely wanna see this beauty in IRL.
Best pov car review guy in the business. 10 minutes of pure knowledge and a nice drive.. no bullshit. Love the format. Top job Max, keep up the good work 🙌 AutotopNL 👑
I do inspections at BMW spartanburg south Carolina. I'm actually employed by magna mirrors and we make the sideview mirrors for BMW. We only make the BMW SUV's in the spartanburg sc location. No sedans. These cars are absolutely beautiful coming down the line .
I cannot even imagine either, would probably look super nice with a smaller grill. I mean come on thats just absurdly big contrast for the sleek headlights. Kinda like duckface botox lips on an otherwise perfect girl :) Edit: Ok maybe if they used a black chrome grill it would actually be really good.
13:50 that's typical Autobahn Germany, driving 185 while a car is in front of you driving the same speed and a car on the right doing 160. It's impossible to see that in any other country.
Alpina doesn't say don't use the shifters, they just think the buttons work well. They were the first to offer self-shifting from the steering wheel on BMWs. Besides, nowadays you have the option to select the normal BMW paddles. It's your choice, whichever you prefer.
Really nice car with suprisingly nice sound. Normaly i don't like the sound of the 4l v8biturbo from audi/merc or this 4.4l biturbo. Alpina did really well.
Even if Max were to review the W12 Touareg today, people on the internet would still say that he should have tested some other car, with some other engine, with some other gearbox, etc, etc, etc... This is the consistent and persistent phenomenon on the comments of each and every car review video, including this one.
....all good...but...owners of Alpina company never wanted make cars like SUVs....market demand has been pushing them....and profit margin is what decides...so they do their best.... the exhaust note is ridiculously stupid for such majestic cruiser...should be silent like purring cat...
I'm wondering if I am the only one who has problem about loading videos on this channel. ok I know that I dont have the best internet connection but.. what quality videos you upload 10bit?
2022 xb7 probably best SUV in the market even in 2024 for it's money much better than GLS the only thing abt them they need to change DASHBOARD design & change leather to Alcantara
dam dude. do you have a better camera? one that doesn't circles the images? that makes me dizzy. I've seen good cameras for like $150 maybe would be a good investment for you
"This isn't a BMW...Alpina is a car manufacturer." Umm, no. That car rolled off BMW's production line in Spartanburg, SC USA as a fully-formed XB7. To Alpina's specs and with a fair bit of Alpina-designed and built parts, yes - but BMW made the car.
In the real life, the X7 looks really cool. It's a monster, very big Suv.
I agree with ya mate
Have you seen the front, it;s ugly as f**k.
@@damnbadger8242 not in real life. Looks like an american car.
He has a lot of charisma. It is so big that we do not notice that the grids are big.

Same thing happened with me with the rsq8 i didn't like it in the beginning until i see it in real life
I saw both new M3 and M4 and i still cant get over that massive fugly grill, on X7 I dont mind, it's already a big car, SUV better said
I saw one, and I almost puked. I prayed to God that the owner changes that front end.
Nah sorry, it sort of/kind of works on the X7, but the 4-Series and M3 both look absolutely horrible, even in real life.

Oof so you are one of those bmw haters again huh ?
This alpine seems like a ripoff new turbos better cooling only 100hp

saw a few in real life. They're really huge, and they do look great with the big kidney grills. Cant imagine a small grill on a car like this.

Love the platform of this XB7, and the engine to front axle placement, as well as the uncommon front wheel well vents.
I absolutely love it, I work in personal security and I can’t think of a better car unless you need bulletproof
you've heard of volvo?
@@eeeins yep, I’m Swedish so yes I have. Jättebra bilar absolut
For a big "panzerwagen " it's impressive to +180kmh to 260kmh

Ja those Sunday riders…..
Because in other countries it's illegal, not because it can't be done
I love aftermarket SUVs: Brabus, Alpina, Gembella, even that Cayenne that Ruf made.
There is a brand new blue Alpina XB7 here in Toronto and it is STUNNING!
You can also order paddle shifters, if you want them😉
This is my favourite 3 row premium suv
When you lower the suspension, it basically looks like a minivan
My family and me we went to a road trip with 7passengers it was the best travel ever
"Alpina is a car manufacturer, this is not a BMW", and then opens the bonet, BMW engine, opens the doors, BMW everywhere.
I love the way these look especially blacked out
it does have a presence on the road
the man got the money and the taste, really cool X7

How do the BMW Individual Colors work? I mean, did BMW pay Lamborghini for the rights to use that paint? I've also seen a Ferrari red BMW 4 series.
Xb7 is a dream
My favourite SUV
Alpina always delivers the cars with Bmw logo’s on front and rear. The ones with ‘Alpina’ logo have been fitted with ‘Ali-tuning’
you have to see the x7 in real life to rate it. It looks so much better in real life, its so huge
I was waiting for this XB7 for a long time thanks for your great review
It’s a stunner ✨
I've seen one a couple of weeks ago... It's even more impressive irl, a 3 series is so small compared to that tank
Bigger than the X6?
@@Alejandrososa619 very much
Really nice car with suprisingly nice sound. Normaly i don't like the sound of the 4l v8biturbo from audi/merc or this 4.4l biturbo. Alpina did really well.
Sounds like a fart can
this is my new favourite family car
Great family wagon I just ordered a XB7 in the same grey color but in blackPackage 😎
When are you guys gonna test a Touareg withe the 6.0 W12 engine ? Cuz that would be pretty cool tbh =)))
Even if Max were to review the W12 Touareg today, people on the internet would still say that he should have tested some other car, with some other engine, with some other gearbox, etc, etc, etc...

Crazy how fast and easily it pulls to 180mph definitely has more room up top !
this films make me aware how poor i am
In what region of germany are you at?because in the north parth the autobahn is limited almost everywhere because road working,"STAU" everywhere
Seen a couple of regular x7s around so far but this is just levels up from it somehow
Great video! Thanks for the preview. Mine should be here in November 2021. I ordered mine in Alpina Blue.
MY TOP 3 SUV
15:23 Great observation and thinking . . .👍
What about the legendary reliability of the V8 4.4L motor?
Would it be better to put a V12 like in the BMW 760Li?
Hey Max, how are you?
15:30 pretty mature driver. I've seen doing this pretty often.
I love the auto called "experienced driver" in the description...
Max your reviews are always top notch! Great job!!
Beautiful vehicle, the only X7 I would take!
Hello from Russia
MONSTER, MY FAVE SUV
The Ultimate family car for me is this to cross continents
From 100-200 km/h has a nice thrust, but at high speed sleeps a little because of the characteristics of the exterior🏇👍
Well said 👍🏻
Nice family car, by the way how much does it cost to constantly clean the car when kids behind keep throwing up?
It really is super special
....all good...but...owners of Alpina company never wanted make cars like SUVs....market demand has been pushing them....and profit margin is what decides...so they do their best.... the exhaust note is ridiculously stupid for such majestic cruiser...should be silent like purring cat...
Hey do u check roman performance m8 Gran coupe and check SUV what they done is shock.
Awesome car and fantastic video!!!
10:55 That engine sound it's amazing
it's so baddd, obviously artificial and makes me feel sick lol
@@HiFlyerr yeah I agree, absolutely hideous
Pls do a review on the new Maybach GLS
Andreas doesn‘t only have taste, he‘s also got money.
What the difrend between alpina & bmw?
Such a beautiful car! Would really like to upgrade to this car one day
From India ❤️
SAME GREY WITH BLUE LASER LIGHTS 😍😍😍
Damn this is a Monster
Nice ride , nice drive 👍👍👍
Very nice car! Well done!
I'm wondering if I am the only one who has problem about loading videos on this channel. ok I know that I dont have the best internet connection but.. what quality videos you upload 10bit?
The grille works well on SUVs but not sedans
BRUH! That is a nice-ass ride. But, what the hell is with the car sounding like in Gran Turismo when he rides it over 200 km/h xD
Sick car.
2022 xb7 probably best SUV in the market even in 2024 for it's money much better than GLS the only thing abt them they need to change DASHBOARD design & change leather to Alcantara
dam dude. do you have a better camera? one that doesn't circles the images? that makes me dizzy. I've seen good cameras for like $150 maybe would be a good investment for you
I was going to say the same thing. He needs to use a camera that does NOT have a wide angle lens. This lens is distorting the image big time.
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful car 👏
Wow luxury car 😍
my fav suv!
Absolutely stunning spec 👍
With a black leather interior, this interior would look really nice
nice family suv with power when you need it but that fake engine noise in the cabin can get annoying when pushing it
Great video and how is max speed?
Amazing driving machine
Love this thing
Which one has the better sound, this one or the GLS63?
GLS63 by far, the fake sound is disgusting in this thing
Gorgeous!
Not a BMW fan, but this car is great 😊👍
Very nice beast
Alpina B5 Touring facelift please.
"This isn't a BMW...Alpina is a car manufacturer."
Umm, no. That car rolled off BMW's production line in Spartanburg, SC USA as a fully-formed XB7. To Alpina's specs and with a fair bit of Alpina-designed and built parts, yes - but BMW made the car.
looking at new wheels, Alpina XB7 of GLS 63 AMG?
Is there a 2nd or 3rd row? A trunk? You couldn't tell by this review. Guess only the front seat is significant.
Look at other reviews, they go over everything. 🙂
Nice preformance
Amazing how low the air suspension drops the car.
so nice car.
New dream😎
Love love
If I had the amount of money that your Andreas has i would have a good taste too believe me, I bet everyone would
Thank youuu! Would be so nice to see the trunk of a beast like this
Best suv ❤
Guys, could you please review the LCI one
At 12:35 the list is not in order. Nr. 98 should be the 94 :)
Very good!
This interior materials and colors are so nice❤❤❤
