- It seems impossible that it would take BMW this long to bring a big 3-row to market but this is definitely one of those instances where good things come to those who wait. This is the first-ever X7 and it’s packing everything BMW has to offer.
MSRP as-tested: $112,245

Saw one of these driving on the road. Man, it looks so nice in person
Love how every BMW is kin in evolution and familiarity in every model....have an 02 325xi wagon and this x7 is so familiar to my 02 wagon....love you bmw
BMW nailed the X7. You can tell they really put their all into making it one of the best SUVs on the road.
Totally Agreed! Period.
What a perfectly vivid review. It made me feel like I just ate a big fancy brunch. Not a car I really want, but I want it a lot more than I did before I saw this review! Hope you
enjoyed your time with it.
Thanks! I definitely did. This one is a keeper.
It’s crazy how those 21’s look small on this car.
My buddy said this to me, too. I don't see it.
TestDriveNow Reviews by Auto Critic Steve Hammes
Lol!!!
blamminsuskaz pimp
Perhaps.
Great video!!
Thanks!
Can't help but think Lincoln Navigator when I see the front grill. Beautiful and luxurious interior though. Another great review. You should have a lot more subs.
Thanks, RJ! This is for everyone who wants longer reviews ;-)
How the hell did this reach $112k WITHOUT the massaging and Ventilated seats??
I’m just glad they didn’t charge per breath while inside.
I agree. At 112k, it should’ve been included. Instead it’s an $1200 option.
@@ajlee6933 who ever built this model needs to be smacked upside the head, it's not even the real Merino leather
@@jstragland 😂
be glad they don't make the steering wheel a $3000 option.
Well done! It will be interesting to see what Escalade does to compete.
Cadillac will just add more chrome in the front and longer led lights in the back.
Ha!!! Probably true.
This is one good looking suv...no messaging seats is a no go for me over ... yea Steve I think I’d take the srt Durango
its an option you can get
Автомобиль - мечта !!!
Sir how to konw the inside parts like chance number all about the cars if you have vidio to explein it we need yout help
This is the best luxury 3 row on the street
Looks pretty slick in that color and msport package. What color is that?
Arctic Grey Metallic
Beautiful family SUV Great review
Thanks!
This is awesome! Let's get it to the Trending page. Come on!
Key points - that V8 is so intoxicating I hesitate calling it a lump. It's a keg!
- the pillow headrests look like slippers for juvenile elephants
Work it, work it!!
I'm TRINE!
At 6:20 were you filming in front of a green screen or was the car on a flat bed truck, being pulled Hollywood style?
Hey Steve. I can see you're not taking part in many press driving events (e.g. the X7 press driving event was a few months ago). Why is that?
Wasn't invited to that one...sometimes it's just scheduling. Plus, the way I like to do my reviews it's usually more conducive to get 'em at home for a full week.
@@stevehammes interesting. Thanks
Hey Steve. d'you know if this has an option configurated with a bench seat in the second row?
A second row bench seat is standard.
@@stevehammes yippee, thanks
Steve now its almost sommer and still no hellcat redeye and nicolete? :(
I’ve got good news for you, my friend. It comes in on June 20.
@@stevehammesnice im really looking forward to this review and nicolete would be there as well? :)
To much tech to break I’ll pass
Wow - beautiful vehicle!
It really is, Tom.
if this had an insane V12 like 760 ..that would be the ultimate luxury crossover ...This is not an SUV ...CROSSOVER
That would be insane. I drove an X7 M50i the other day ... it was impressive.
Cyril Matthew It does. Go for the Full on M sport. V12 making nearly or over 600HP
Beautiful vehicle, but some of the "conveniences " seem a bit fussy and questionable long term.
Great review. Not my favorite on the outside but the inside is gorgeous. And considering the size, weight, and power, a 17 mpg combined is impressive to me.
Thanks!
I have a QX80 and frankly it drives very trucky and inspiring. If I have spend this much on a rig that requires premium Champaign for a hangover, it might as well be a beener
The problem for BMW is what happens when Mercedes releases their redesigned GLS after this?
Will it steal it's thunder?
I would've waited until after Mercedes released their redesign.
They've waited this long.....
Yeah the new GLS is basically a bigger GLE it has a new technology for example , there is a feature anytime you go to a car wash the vehicle will fold the mirrors and close all the windows do it won’t get wet . And there the well known AMG models , the current GLS63 AMG makes 577hp so the new version should be very similar or possibly over that amount .
When I saw it last month at the NY Auto Show, I was very underwhelmed in every way by the GLS.
@@stevehammes Oh, that's right! I saw your first look at the GLS. I agree. They played it too safe and missed the mark. They'll sell it to current GLS owners, but that won't grow the brand.
Would you buy the new BMW X7 or the Mercedes GLS? I say Mercedes it’s more spacious, luxurious interior and outstanding performance.
Sise Esan, Mercedes actually cost cut a lot on the interior materials. For an example, the third row has hard touch plastic, while the BMW uses soft touch throughout the entire interior.
AJ Lee oh thanks for the feedback that’s surprising since it’s a luxury brand it should be expected for them to make every material worth it
You can't lose either way.
Asides the extremely opulent Rolls Royce Cullinan. I still think the Bentley Bentayga, Range Rover LWB Autobiography and Cadillac Escalade (in its highest trim) have the most opulent second row seats in the Full Sized Luxury SUV category.
I'm sorry, but the tester vehicle's second row seat looks like something that could be had in some mainstream minivans. I feel BMW could offer a more befitting second row compartment to help justify the upgrade from the already excellent X5.
My thoughts though
Navigators aswell
Have you ever sat in the back of an X5? It isn’t very comfortable. The seating position is low and there isn’t much leg room. Totally opposite on the X7.
Great car.
8:15 Napster???
Napster is the best!
I don't believe the RR touchscreen system is the right way. It's a touchscreen and needs too many presses to get a job done. This means less accidents
I'm surprised you're actually in favour of the dual-screen set-up in other cars. Most reviewers find them a distraction while on the move, dangerous because they require you take your eyes off the road for longer to look down and see what you're pressing, and annoying because of all the grubby fingerprints.
You're right; I've never been a dual-screen proponent. But having just experienced the new Audi MMI setup and the improved Land Rover setup I'm starting to change my mind, simply because there's just so much info to access on one screen. A fluid opinion, however...
The new flagship for BMW
True. Although BMW themselves claim that the 7 series sedan is still the flagship model.
I'd take the upcoming GLS 63 AMG. It will cost a bit more, but will be a whole lot better.
Amen!
The inside is a little too bland, but the outside has presence.
so basically looks where it doesn't matter, and blandness where it does?
Comparing to your review of the Durango SRT, one wonders with this kind of money, why not just get a Durango SRT. Less money, more badass with just as many ponies, why not just take the money and laugh all the way to the bank?
Because this car is made for people who want opulence.
Because you would be driving a Durango and not a BMW.
@@mtnx7 this car is made for people who want to flaunt a badge.
@@TMS5100 An entry level X1 can get you that badge. There are businessmen, lawyers, doctors, financial professionals who do make a ton of money and want a super luxurious, no compromise, 7 seater SUV for their family. This is for them. A Durango is a Durango.
@RpM_Evan , I dont know, call me a redneck or whatever vocabulary that fits, but as I got older, I find myself wanting to drive American more and more. I think, as someone I read long ago said, nowadays, there's no bad cars anymore. The worst part of the car is the gas, I wouldn't want to gas up every other day even if I am just oozing out money out of the wazoo. Which I am not.
But I am also reminded of someone I know who said, BMW - Bowel Movements Wow. :)
The new GLS580 is gonna tear this thing apart
I was disappointed with what I saw at the NY Auto Show. I'd be shocked if this is true. From a pure design standpoint, the GLS loses immediately.
So much to fail in this rig.
never own a bmw out of warranty.
Check.
I'll pass as the front seatbelts are not adjustable for height like the sane manufacturers do it!
Grill needs to be bigger . BMW and how they name their vehicles is stupid
Bigger? And I agree on the naming.
Just wait until the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 S is out with 600+ BHP. It will chew and spit this out!
And the reliability of BMW is worst among the luxury tier brands.
We are selling our GLS which just had $20k of warranty work done after just 4 years for an X7 we ordered. Owned 6 BMWs in our family in 7 years and never had anything major fail. Mercedes deserves reputation of never wanting to own outside of warranty. No data supports your claim about MB reliability better than BMW. Quite the opposite if you actually do some research. You may like MB more and to each his own, however making up stats is dumb.
@@GaryDownes Wow, such wisdom! You are a natural.
Your welcome. To be clear you said BMW was worst, which clearly isn’t based on fact as per JD Power or my individual experience. Have a great day!
@@adamp6666 yes! Like I said my claim was based on my personal experience and many anecdotal accounts from people and the pop culture perception of BMW. Of course, MB is not the best at reliability. Any car with fancy and complicated tech involved, where MB is an undisputed industry pioneer in leading groundbreaking innovations is more prone to problems eventually. Infact, my worst experience with a car was with a brand new 2004 W220 S500 4matic , which broke so often to the point where we thought we got a lemon and made my dad to swore to never buy a Mercedes again. Still, even if you go by the JD power and Consumer Reports reviews throughout the past decade, BMW is criticized, more often than not for it's reliability. I don't mean to say that BMW is fucked beyond despair. I like BMW, I really do. Take my comment above as something from an over enthusiastic, AMG fan boy. Cheers!
Haha! Awesome reply. Not sure how Porsche is able to stay so high when they offer the same equipment as BMW and MB. Somehow they seem to have figured it out!
Will be a POS when the warranty is up.
I'm sorry this is not what I was hoping to hear..
$120K and no quilted seats? Also, if my daughter was trapped in the back just because she pressed a wrong button I would be taking this baby back quicker than Karl Rapp could spell BMW.
BrokenFiddles, it’s 112k, and quilted seats are an $1000 option.
@@ajlee6933 Indeed, I wasn't listening carefully. However, after taxes its more than $120K. I appreciate your comment.
The front is hideous
Those struts are so ugly such a backyard job, wtf!
Pass.
It looks like a hippopotamus

A sexy hippopotamus.
Mercedes is better.

From the rear I like the Mercedes more, everything else BMW did it better sorry
