The 2023 BMW X7 xDrive40i Is The Ultimate Driving 3-Row Family SUV

- The #BMWX7 was late to the large 3-row SUV family segment but when it came onto the scene 3 years ago, #BMW made sure the new #X7 had their ultimate driving DNA built into the chassis. For 2023, the #X7xDrive40i is still the entry-level model, but BMW has made some nice improvements that remind buyers this is intended to also be the #7Series of their SUV lineup.

5400 lbs and 0-60 in 5.4 seconds, that B58 engine is legendary.
Sounds about right considering the car has AWD and 400+ crank hp/torque. Last gen and even this gen Escalade does 0-60 under 6 seconds.
A legendary and outdated gas-hog maybe. This car should be a 450 HP Hybrid getting 35 MPG.
I mean, in the big picture, it's still relatively new, but it's a brilliant engine and probably should be legendary.
We actually have two cars with it - my X5 and my wife's 440. Love it. And you can cruise on the HW getting damn good mileage on a roadtrip.
@@MTB_Rider_96people who can afford this will not likely to care for the extra fuel cost
@@MTB_Rider_96this probably gets 24 and that’s enough
BMW designers have been desperately trying something new while being forced to keep the corporate grille in some form. In my opinion the classic BMW look is timeless.
The best BMW looked was pre-humongous grill, and Chris bangle butt design 🤮
BMW should fire their designers and hire Kia/Hyundai designers
This front end looks like palisade
BMW: where everything is optional but the bucky beaver grill comes standard.
bmw needs to get rid of that kidney grill you see lexus benz switched it up
Headlights are hideous. The previous generation front was so much better. It’s as if bmw designers are all over the place
It’s squinting like it’s driving into the sun. 😂
At 20:57 The BMW shows that it launches so hard it makes you rip one. Now that’s performance!
I feel peer presured by this x7, I don't know what is, but I just love it
I think it takes awhile for the third row seat to power fold because the second row seats will automatically power slide forward so it will not be in the way of the third row seat when it folds flat. Pretty cool. Wouldn’t want to own this thing once it’s a decade old though.
Great review, as always
5:01 hockey stick but I get it
Most awaited review.... Thanks!
One thing I’d love to see is the middle seat difference between this and the X5. On paper it looks identical, but the X7 seats slide. Please help in this regard
Hockey puck? I think u meant hockey stick, LOL! Great review as always.
My favorite BMW SUV I definitely want to buy.
I really don’t like this color that every car company is starting to use since 2018… but nice vehicle. Looks good
Same. Brooklyn Gray is ugly af on this car
I’m sure BMW Individual will allow a red or whatever color interior, you’ll pay for it but it’s totally customizable.
YOUR BIGGEST KENYAN FAN RIGHT HERE, 22/07/2023
Nice job sofyan. I really think it's a better idea to pop the hood later in the video just before the driving scene. Reviewing the engine specs in the beginning makes one forget the numbers before the driving scene. GOOD JOB
I love the fact he gives us the performance numbers first. I want to know now lol. His format is good
@@kennethsmith6899 you know its kinda better that immediately after the specs is the driving scene. Just saying
Meh. What he is doing works fine. Why should Sofyan have to change his format just because you have memory issues?
@@oneslackr 😂
What is the exterior color? Brooklyn grey?
that color is fire, ive seen the same look from kia and toyota but its always a bit strange, but BMW nailed it, with the shadow package as well.
It doesn't look strange on Kias & Toyotas
We were just in a rented 2023 BMW X5 and though we loved it, we noticed that the backup camera was very dark. In a dark parking garage the camera was basically useless. At 12:30 in this video the camera looks dark as well. Is that a typical problem with BMW cameras? We have an E53 AMG Cabriolet and a GLC 300 and don't have any issues with cameras.
You can get the crystal shifter in the 2023 X7. I have no idea what package it is, though!
The pre refresh face was so much better especially with the shadow line package😭
No not really
Very Nice Bro. Get Good People!
Sofyan is feeding up, content after content, can’t help but to stan!
Sir..which has great driving pleasure ,ride quality...x740i or x740d?I'm confused between the two...
What a very lovely place to be in.
Which is the 1st best selling midsize luxury suv?
This is the vehicle BMW should have added the rear entertainment screen to. But I’m sure it’s coming in it’s second generation. I cross shoped this and the 750, but needed up with the 7 because I couldn’t find a M sport 50i X7.
They did have it but i dont know if you know but there was shortage of chips which is critical
Love mynew one!
Now my dream SUV for me to drive one day.
Amazing job with your videos anyway Sofyan.
8:40 did he really say full merino leather??????? Bro this is the base sensafin vegan seats 🤦♂️ wtf
Still a great luxury SUV, however I do not like the refresh fascia and that toggle gear shift is hideous. And it would be amazing if the X7 could come either the red leather
Bought a 2023 X7 40i with M package from BMW in Sterling VA. Its is good, buy it. The B58 is plenty of power.
That’s exactly what I’m about to do 💪
Hi, do you have any issues with the A/C system being weak on the X7?. Thanks.
Learn to use voice commands for climate and other functions normally associated with buttons. Voice works great!
Would like to see an M60i video
Car and Driver tested 4.6 seconds for this…and Motortrend tested 4.8 seconds..which is great for a vehicle of this size, with the base engine.
4.6 is laughable. This thing weighs almost 3 tons. No way that number is accurate
@@wazgoodjj I wouldn’t say that, as Motortrend got 4.8 secs. Not too far off.
Magazine times represent that absolute best time after multiple attempts with launch control, clutch dumping, or brake boosting. It would be useful for them to publish mean times along with standard deviation. It would give a picture of how consistent a car accelerates.
But they also rated the rolling start at 6.1 so lot of lag without launch control. Sounds about right for its power to weight
@@alexl.102 wow, 6.1 rolling start is pretty laggy, a Honda Odyssey does mid-6's rolling start
I love the car and your review is great! BMW NEEDS TO BRING BACK THE REGULAR SHIFTER ASAP 😢
If you want to cut 1/2 sec or more off the 0-60 add a jb4
Agree
They screwed up the grill
That is what I think to do for my 2021 X7
@@wish676 yes indeed
Easy install and removal with safety features and on the fly map changes
Cluster architecture? Enlighten me!
As a 2022 BMW X5 PHEV owner this new X7 exterior design is couple of step backwards. It looks like a Hyundai product, like a Palisade. The interior too with almost all functions now on the touch screen is a disaster. And don’t even talk about the horrible toggle shifter ! Everything is so backward on this. I wanted a X7 PHEV, but whatever reason, BMW doesn’t still offer it.
Does this car have rear wheel stearing?
The amount of things that will go wrong down the road within this car is amazing 😂
Won't concern the original owners because repairs will be under warranty.
It will only bother subsequent owners who buy heavily depreciated luxury vehicles so they can try to impress people who they will never meet by driving a vehicle that they think makes them look rich.
@@williamegler8771I plan to buy this used. But I'm not pretend rich
And like what? A proven engine and this is the 5th year this model has been out. BMW has risen a lot in reliability rankings.
If you care about reliability why did you even watch the video?
B58 engine and ZF 8 have proven their reliability for a long, long time. You obviously never owned BMW nor could afford one. Just go back driving your Toyota. This vehicle is not for you 😂
This SUV is fucking beautiful... I always wanted a Mercedes but BMW in the last few years have impressed me.
Stephan bmw was never behind in the auto industry as it is one of world great car builders get your facts right 😢
Thank you
This is exactly same as mine. It's very smooth and fun to drive. Highly recommend.
Hi, do you have any issues with the A/C system being weak on the X7?. Which model year do you have?. Thanks.
@@tatoweb I have 2023 x7 40i. The A/C is weaker than other vehicle. I agree with you.
Pre facelift X7 is better than this
The pre-refresh exterior & interior both look better, & the lack of physical buttons is a bad idea when this is going to be driven by parents dealing with kids of varying ages & preferences in this car
Nice BMW SUV for 2024 nice😮😮😮😮
Imagine the AMG c43 weighs around the same as this x7
Once the C43 goes electric it will. These electric vehicles weigh as much as a house.
My dream SUV 😍🔥
2023 BMW X7 xDrive 40i M Sport Shadowline Package!
Is that what you have?
Digital rear view mirrors - problematic for farsighted people-who use reading glasses. The mirror screen is too close to you and prevents clear focus. A normal mirror allows infinite focus. Try it sometime.
These cars can run
Mazda definitely benchmarked this vehicle for the CX90
Why Mazda put the new in-line 6 engine father back where you can’t have full access to the ports smh 🤦🏼♂️ what we’re they thinking. BMW DOESNT HAVE TO
having test driven the 2024 X7 the lack of actual buttons for some basic/get started controls is very annoying - a couple knobs/buttons on a very cold morning to crank up heat/defrost, seat heaters without thinking vs taking off gloves to swipe screens would be NICE! ... great car but can tell designers are 20 somethings (or trying to be) ... everything doesn't have to be iPhone-like - maybe there is a reason Apple punted on auto business
Fewer buttons = fewer failing parts
I love an SUV with more spunk.
They really messed up the look of the car for this generation. Front end is just plain Fugly. Functionality inside also went away. Not to mention complains with powertrain electrical errors popping up all the time. No thanks. I will take the previous generation any day.
How do you know that this is brand new generation?? Just useless complaining
1/4 of the price in 6 years.
yes, with 120,000 miles on it
This is EXACTLY what I suspected. This vehicle is the 2nd best selling luxury 3 row DESPITE its not the biggest. Many reviewers penalize cars because they aren't the biggest but not everybody is looking for a bus! I often wonder why they do that.
The headlights remind me of a Hyundai palisade
The x7 has only existed for 4 years 😳
The pre face lift is better
Cx90 is the much better value but the x7 is next level
You’d expect that. A cx90 telluride palisade are great values vs the x7 but of course the x7 is better
i spent all my life checking car reviews and I have 0 cars
For the price tag on this vehicle, I'd rather have nicely integrated screens in dash instead of tablet style screens slapped on. Who started this cheap looking trend just maximize screen dimensions.
Mercedes does it better
I prefer the navy blue interior in the x7
Great review, as always 🏁 But I am not a fan of BMW's new angular look, across all of their vehicles.
So you prefer round or something like 90% of other cars?
I would expect a lot more from BMW. My 7 year old Hybrid sedan has about the same HP and Torque but weighs 1400 lbs. less, and gets way better MPG. Seem BMW is holding back on the Performance and the meaningful Hybrid technology. 2015 called, they want their powertrain back!
94k😅this car suddenly makes MDX Type S Advance affordable.😂
But the bmw is still a lot better
2 totally different vehicles AND brands.
2023? They are currently selling the 2024.
Audi q8❤
The obsession with blacking out every element of a car is tired.
The shifter ruins it for me. Wtf is that??!
That new BMW exterior design is horrendous .
Nah. I think it looks good. A lot better looking than the m3
still looks better than xm
Deleting any buttons and implementing them into the screen is all Cost Cutting Measures. A Hyundai Santa Fe Still gives you a Host of Buttons which cost money for eat piece of hardware. to have to dig deep in menus to do simple tasks is dangerous.
Where's Rob?
Their designers have not embraced the BMW legacy. They were always recognizable for a (smaller) kidney grill and double round headlights. These headlights are horrible and make it hard to distinguish from all other SUVs on the road. It’s sad to see them lose their way.
That 3RD ROW IS HORRIBLE... jus' get a family van, kids grow fast and that 3rd is gonna be brutal! I was 5'10" @ 14
I absolutely hate vehicles with this stupid light setup when DRL up top and headlights on the bottom where fog lights be like wtf. Goofy
Just buy a Mazda cx90.. and a pocket $30k
I order it, and can’t wait!!!
I got it 2 days a go and it’s great so far!
I got my custom one on order too. Can’t wait! Glad you enjoy yours!
That front grill looks like adolf hitlers mustache 😂😂😂
5:00 HOCKEY STICK
The front looks good on the X7 the 7 series is where it's ugly at ugh
The AC system control is the worst one over the years. I am literally sweating in my X7, whereas I am ice-cold in my Lx570.
I have had the 3 series 2008, the X5 2012, the X6 2016, now the X7 2023. The latest controls for ac control are so horrible vs. the older classic ac control systems. It's incredibly distracting, and you have no idea where the ac vents are pointing.
Hi. I'm really hesitating to get a new 2024 X7 due to A/C complaints. I feel that even on MAX A/C, the amount of air blown is very weak. Is this what you are referring to?
Perhaps you are driving in eco mode.
Somehow Hyundai made a way better looking car with the palisade🧐🧐
I'd take this over a palisade any day. This X7 drives better, has better engine and interior and gets better gas mileage. I'd feel more safe too it wont get stolen.
@@Troy-fv9uq but it’s ugly
@@RomanM803 That's your opinion. I bet if this was the same price as a palisade it would still sell more.
My 21 highlander platinum is way better for half the price and will last over 20 years with ease
這種車能買嗎？台灣有不少台，當天交車，當天就故障，操控系統全部壞掉
你買的故障嗎
@@lawrencehuang447 哈！朋友的，我是X6M時間比較久，新車三個月就掛了
Who all came here after Jailer success ?
one of the best 3 row SUVs no doubt
an enormous kona
The x7 is a x5 with a 3rd row waste of money get real full size luxury suv like the Escalade or navigator or Lexus
I love my x7 way better than the audi q7 its boring u can customize the gauges and the big heads up display but the bowers system is way better than the hk n u can get the crystal shifter its just smaller 😂😂
Hi, do you have any issues with the A/C system being weak on the X7?. Which model year do you have?. Thanks.
It's a Bmw...you can bet your house we break torque in an X7
Crystal is still an option however you get less of it.
This car is not full Merino. You can tell from the pattern. But glad the sensafin is good enough to fool you 😊
I have the massage seats and do not recommend them. They are not as comfortable as the regular seats.
Hi, do you have any issues with the A/C system being weak on the X7?. Which model year do you have?. Thanks.
20:52 did you fart?
BMW was definitely lazy on the instrument cluster graphics. Mercedes still has the best.
Has no trunk space!
