A Canadian sponsor!? 😍 On it boss.
Yall lost your siriusxm partnership?
What’s the difference between TuxMat and WeatherTech floor mats?
@@Spacedog_42 tuxmat looks better, has higher side walls and better coverage. From my own research and bought tuxmat at Costco under the name phantom.
@@AljosaAsanovic thanks for feedback. Are they a hose down product like WeatherTech?
The new headlights look horrible. BMW designers need to stop ruining all of their models.
just give it a few months, it'll grow on you
@@jgreezy no it won't, just like how that new grill didn't grow on me
@@jgreezy Nah man it’s really ugly they fucked up
@@ahassani if you don't like it, don't buy it.
@@ahassani Actually, it's growing on me... In some colors it looks good, in some it's not.
Thanks for continuing to highlight the nonsensical lack of hard buttons for shortcuts and climate controls in new BMWs and other cars. Everything being on a touchscreen is not safer and is not more convenient (poorly working voice controls don't count, clearly) and I really hope automakers get the hint sooner rather than later.
@@electrikoptik carplay dumbest thing ever?! How is not having to mount your phone on the windshield to use the navigation a bad thing? I am with you about the touchscreen everything.
If the brand is new, like Tesla then it's ok? I feel like people criticize Tesla far less than these companies changing to match.
Doubtful, it's been happening for years. Just like headphone jacks on cell phones, people complain but they don't care.
you vill click nothing and u vill be happy
I kinda have the dark impression that it´s not as nonsensical as you might think, at least for the manufactorer.
I would almost bet that down the road they will monetize a lot of features in some way, so that you either have to pay once to unlock something or at the worst, make it a subscription with monthly/annual payments. Plus they don´t have top put all those blank buttons in their entry level specs, so they don´t rub it quite as bad into your face for just how many things they want to charge you...
All BMW fans/enthusiasts looking at the 2023 BMW line up: “LOOK AT HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY.”
Wheres981 fan?
nah it looks good
@@shakke52 what you smokin? Looks horribel
@@KamalaTheClown bmw kids coping
@@przyna Yeah. I like it too. And I’m not really a BMW fan.
Everyone: BMW design can’t get any worse….
BMW: Hold my stein
It is soo ugly and looks like the new nissan rogue
Previous front looked sooo much better
Bought a 2023 X7 a few months ago and absolutely love it. In my opinion the look is stunning. Performance is amazing. My two girls love cruising around in it. If you can, make sure to add the Bowers and Wilkins sound system. It’s worth it.
older X7 looked better, tbh. the front looks really ugly and the car just looks less aggressive now.
Agree 100% love mine as well
Old grill was too generic
How's the reliability and maintenance/running costs?
I think the speaker is good on the harmon kardon but i took a base trim so I don't know how it sounds like
If this what the future has to offer design-wise, the rest of my car life will be spent in the past. Proudly!
Well the future does also have the Ioniq lineup and the Aptera
These headlights work great on the 7 series but look weird here, I prefer the old one 100%
Nahh it looks ugly on the 7 series too
They work fine only on Citroen C4 Cactus
That headlight look like the one from Nissan Rogue tho
@@kalan91 and Fiat Multipla or 2015 Jeep Cherokee
Nah, the new 7 is ugly af too
Those headlights look really similar to the headlights found on the Hyundai Palisade
I say Jeep Cherokee headlight from 2014 lol
Looks can be deceiving. The headlight design was taken from Rolls Royce.
I think it looks more like the Nissan Rogue
I own a Palisade and that was my first thought when I saw the new X7. Sad for BMW.
It looks like Chinese designers tried to marry Jeep Cherokee with Fiat Multipla
No buttons deal killer. Otherwise beautiful X7.
Jakub sounds like he can't stop thinking of how much love Yuri got when he did his solo videos 🤣 we love you both the same boys
Just like the Beatles, better together. Break it up and it won't be the same
Normally skip the sponsored section but tuxmat is really good lol. I bought them at Costco under the rebranded Phantom name. Same company.
Call me classic but the 1st gen X7 looks way better! Also, really glad we got ours before they deleted all those physical buttons.
The “old” one is only 3 years old. Pre-LCI, actually looks better. New isn’t always better
i'm not sure who would call you a classic when you refer to something that's 3yrs old.
@@de_stroyedI consider the aesthetics of having a pair of dual headlights flanked inline with the kidney grill classic BMW.
I love BMW, I really do, but there is something odd going on with the new design of many major models, especially the 7-series. I love my fully loaded 2014 ActiveHybrid 7-er, and to be honest their new designs make it more sensible to keep existing models for longer in my opinion.
I know right, I can't imagine they think their customers want everything in the touchscreen as it's something everyone talks about hating....
Dodge tried doing that about 10 years ago, and it only lasted 1 or 2 production years because people hated it, and they went to buttons/screen combo
The new 7 series is an abomination
Just ordered a 2021 X7 M50i full optioned out! Executive Pack, Bowers Sound, Parking & Driving Assit, Cold Weather Pack, Luxury Seating, Full Merino leather, Ambient Air, Dynamic Handling, and the M50i includes all the cool M stuff --- M breaks, exhaust, steering wheel, front grill, etc. SOOO EXCITED!!! Ahhhhhhhh---- this car looks incredible. I got grey exterior with white interior.
Looks like my beaver Cletus when he wakes up in the morning.
Shout out Cletus
My dream SUV (since I’m a BMW lover)! I love the BMW X7! Excellent review!
The phone/digital key on this newer X7 works so much better than the old one, when you set it up on recent iPhones it works as a proximity key and you don't need to take it out of your pocket anymore. I have tried the feature out and can't wait for it to trickle down to the other models. Almost no need for a key fob anymore!
I just started to like the X7! Back to point 0
😂
Yup, it's hideous. Also, love your Autobahn reviews.
@@TheStraightPipesBMW x7 or Cadillac escalade
The blank button before the parking camera, was meant for the drive recorder function, which is sadly unavailable to Canadian at the moment. You guys ought to check BMW Canada for us, why they disable the Canadian ConnectedDrive store??? It has been a PITA for us owner, who can't renew any Canadian BMW subscription features. Thanks.
Those split headlights look so cheap and ugly, it's not even funny what BMW does to their once beautiful cars.
The new 3 and X7 make me very scared for the new 5 Series. We need physical buttons.
There are favorites on iDrive8. More than 8. You can set any function (by holding on the app then choosing 'add to favorites') as a favorite and access them by pulling down from the top of the screen.
I got my X3 at the right time. The 2023's all had the new infotainment system and they had a 2022 X3 with Msport package on the lot. I went for the 2022. I love my X3, it looks really nice with the m-sport package.
Smart choice
I hate the split lights. The earlier model was better.
BMW has lost that subtle class their vehicles had pre-2005ish
Pre-refresh looked way better.
Call me crazy but I loved the previous look and I love the LCI!
You're crazy 🤣
The XM also looks Insane!
@@tshiamoseokane2112 Insanly bad, yeah, that´s true.
You are crazy.
iDrive 8 learns your climate control actions based on temperature, location, and even direction of the sun. It works surprisingly well. From my experience I never had to actually use the on screen climate menu except for the first few days.
Saw one on the street,actually it looks good on X7,but not in 7 series
Before this video, I was genuinely hating the design, and within the first few minutes, I started loving it, it's just something about the colour of this x7 and the design that really go perfectly together
I agree, I first though the design was ok but then I really started liking it. BMW and Genesis honestly makes one of the best car designs ever.
Same for me, first time I saw it, I said “horrible” but it grows on you, and all the interior is amazing
I agree the drivers seat doesn’t go as low as I’d like!
The 3rd (basically 4th) BMW video in a row??
Yea I think they like BMWs more than most car brands now...
As much as people hate on the look. Talking to my local bmw dealer a lot of people are ordering.
I'm sure it's super luxurious but the grille is an abomination. BMW needs to fire their design team ASAP. Also the absence of physical climate controls is a downgrade from last gen.
hahaha Jacob really got it with the thinking joke :D
The X7 M is a great vehicle if recommend checking it out I get to drive them all the time for my job the slight down side if you even consider it bad is that the seats are more sporty and less comfortable
I swear "it's not even the 60"
exactly what I was thinking when I test drove this beast
Is this a BMW Palisade or Santa Fe? 🤣
New headlights are terrible
Well I guess BMW wasn’t lying when they said they are designing their cars to suit Chinese tastes 😬
Actually I believe this new one has an updated version of the B58 with port injection and a new intercooler design
Yes it is slightly updated
@@TheStraightPipes hopefully they let Toyota play around with it in a Supra in the future 🤞🏽
@@TML34 was strictly direct injection but there are aftermarket kits for those who need additional fueling for big power out there
@@TML34 yes, only just now in the new 23 X5 and X7 40i’s the new version of the B58 has both port and direct injection
Not a fan of the new front design. The new headlights look similar to the Nissan rouge’s design
I did pause to check out TuxMat as I’m looking for new mats, Aaas no F Types in their menu. Need one of you Canadien F Type owner to get your scanned. Great SUV, but I need some buttons, full stop.
Input your details on the site and if there’s enough demand they might make them!
"with LESS BUTTONS available, you now really BENEFIT from the intelligent personal assistant" ...I facepalmed so hard.This era of BMW is really tough to take seriously. It feels like they are trying to normalize features being locked into the software so they can start charging subscription fees for everything.
Thats the whole point. If you didn’t option cooled/heated seats etc. you will probably be able to buy it on the screen. Terrible idea 😂
Great review, and that car must have drive recorder lol also its 383 torque until you hit sprint mode then it goes to 398 with the boost from 48v mild hybrid. The tuxmats are great!
I'm on my second X7, currently have a 2021. And no, I do not like the LCI. I don't like the split headlights, lack of direct buttons and I don't like the look of the floating screen. Will it keep me from buying a new one eventually? No, Because overall it's a fantastic vehicle.
That front looks like a juke was born in germany in another timeline.
tbh, the look has been grown on me after seeing it in real life. It’s really not too bad in the night
That front design looks like Suzuki Grand Vitara 😂 , old x7 looks was so good and little aggressive
Front-end BMW designers have been a bit undecided lately. Love the performance and interior.
The EQS is dead to me! I agree. Not a fan. I'm still torn on this 2023 LCI. I think this is the first time I wouldn't mind a pre LCI or the LCI. Both look good. Bmw Blog wrote that the iX7 is coming out 2027. Might as well just wait for that.
Those divorce headlights still look ugly to me, but as a sedan driver I also really appreciate that they don't blind me as much
Bought TuxMats for my Kia Sportage a couple years ago and they have been great. Looks great and protect the carpet way better OEM mats even after almost 40k.
It looks like a hyundai.
BMW palisade
@@TheStraightPipes Hyundai X750i N-Sport
Hyundai made it first
Nowadays saying a hyundai looks like a bmw is more of an insult than saying bmw looks like hyundai
I really think the split headlight design works on the high end luxury model, even more so on the new 7 series / i7. Had to get used to it first though.
Thou art CRAZY check YO EYES BOOYYY
@@danielpark7821 Automakers know not everything they do is a huge hit. If you see something long enough it starts growing on some people specially die hard fans.
Awesome that you guys picked up TuxMat as a sponsor! Been running TuxMats in my new '23 Integra for a couple months now, they are incredible!!! Great video as always guys, keep 'em coming!
This review (other than being one large advertisement) is about as good as the look of the front fascia or as useful as the cow nipple controls for the vents on a hog. 😂
Gotta control the hog vents somehow
I am not a fan of the new screen just because it will be hard to keep clean and to keep the area behind it clean. I don’t mind the aesthetic, however I prefer something more integrated, Volvo style
These headlights look better in black cars or really dark grey/ black colors
Next year, BMW will have its headlights totally redesigned and placed INTO an even larger grill.
And eventually, BMW will become a moving grill with wheels
130K? Late stage capitalism goin brazy
Love the review as always, just a heads up though, it does indeed have launch control, I totally don’t use it every day on the local streets 😅 - just turn off DSC and put it in sport
I have tried the feature out and can't wait for it to trickle down to the other models. Almost no need for a key fob anymore!
I love my fully loaded 2014 ActiveHybrid 7-er
Since when BMW start to copy Hyundai 😂
I agree, I first though the design was ok but then I really started liking it. BMW honestly makes one of the best car designs ever. The new 7 series and X7 design is really growing on me.
A few notes I have:
Like the initial X7, I thought it was ugly when it was first unveiled, but now after seeing a few on the road, I don’t mind it. It’s not beautiful, but I would not kick it out of the driveway.
We got a new LCI 3 series, and ‘hey bmw’ can do the XM channel and hasn’t been an issue for me. The loss of buttons is also a bummer, but really hasn’t been an issue with the day to day living.
Anyways, great video as always!
Agreed. I've said this before and I will say it again, this looks a ton better than the M3/M4/430i/440i/M440i/I4/IX, and for the 1000000000th time, BUY IT IN BLACK FOR PETE'S SAKE!!!!!!! I am getting sick and tired of you guys buying it in Alpine White, São Paolo Yellow, Arctic Race Blue Metallic, Isle Of Man Green Metallic, Dravite Gray Metallic, San Remo Green Metallic, Portimao Blue Metallic or Mineral White Metallic.
@@brianlee9233 I agree except for the color part. More cars should have color, and our LCI 3 series is blue. I’ve also had a purple WRX and a green SRT charger.
Watching this on the toilet
Toilet gang 💩
The headlights reminded me of the Futurama skeptical Fry meme and now I can't stop seeing it.
Dang bmw copying Hyundai now. What an identity crisis.
So beautiful! (I don't care if it is an unpopular opinion)
Todella kaunis auto on BMW x7💎 ja tv Petri.
It’s a buy! 100% only people who can’t unfortunately afford it will complain😢
I am really happy that bmw didn’t ditched the vertical grills for x7 series
Honestly BMW did great on the style of this X7 Great job 👏🏼
no stop it 🤢
@@alalal123421 im being fr, as a former BMW M owner i love the new BMWs. Step back and actually see what BMW is doing they are trying new styles, new engines and new leaps unlike MB and Audi
@@joshyjoshy2022 theyre hideous
I reckon the thumbnail grill looks better than the actual one. Kinda Rolls Royce vibes👌
Props to BMW for being ranked 3rd in Consumer Reports latest reliability rankings. Only Toyota and Lexus ranked better in reliability.
Don’t think I don’t see you Jacob with your two tone DateJust 41, and now your Pepsi on Oyster! 👌
Pepsi has been in videos in the last 3 years and DJ last 1.5 👍
Tuxmat is actually fire my uncle has them in his tesla and they really good mats
Wanted to see the ambient lighting I’m at night though. Good review. Just placed my order 👍🏼

BMW does not build SUV, they don`t use a truck frame, they build SAV
Front looks like 2022 Nissan X-trailish
Intro goes so hard 🔥
Yo, what was that intro song?
Can we talk about that instrumental 🔥
If BMW were going for the "let's refresh, but yeah keep it ugly" strategy, they nailed it.
Remember the time when korean cars were inspired by german designs? Its the other way around now 😅
Rumble/tucker Carlson is advertising on your channel fyi
Some of same persons who were beating upon the Infiniti QX80 for years, barely saying anything about the look of this SUV. 🤔 At the very least they could give it a shout out.
12:20 "peasant blockers" 😆
That rainbow rolexxxxx cooler than car
BMW saw the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Headlights and fell in love
They probably saw the Chevy Blazer headlights in my opinion. You know the Blazer that they also massacred
I don’t really like the headlight placements are, i would prefer the headlight be in the same place as the drills.
The push toward making everything touch screen and behind menus is baffling. Are they really saving enough money to be worth the lives that could be affected by distracted driving?
I have to say, though, physical controls aren't 100% everything. In my B9 A4 most of the toggles for HVAC "feel" just about the same so you still have to look to see if you're touching the right control. Why can't we just stick with tried+true button stacks with different feeling buttons for unique controls?
I'm getting them Tux mats !
Inspired by Genesis GV80 haha. Hope BMW keeping their heritage.
If you cover the top headlights it would look much better with the bottom ones only, same with the new 7 series.
Did you try Sprint mode? For those times you’re in comfort than want to hit it. Hold down the left paddle and go.
BMW: what is "design language"
I love my Tuxmat. Much better than my old Weathertec mats.
