My family actually got this car a month and half ago, and it’s headlights are BRIGHT. Although it doesn’t look as good in videos, I can assure you they will look better in person.
@@山内淳カイル-i5d I’m not desperate, nor want to be that kind of person. I would just want to point out the people who are being really biased over their designs lately.
This feels like the start of something awesome, guys. Keep it up. I have been watching your videos for 2 years now, and I must admit the team dynamic is really nice 😁.
Grat video. Given this car can only make sense to a large family it would have been great to see you do some family things, like trying to park it at Tesco (or given the price tag waitrose) it would really help get a feel of the size of the thing
Rory you kept me on the screen for every car you reviewed best 2022 and wow on the M5 CS my highlight. Now the X7 is amazing but very expensive 🎉🎉🎉 happy holidays to you guys and the camera man 🤣🤣🤣
I completely agree with the point on infotainment systems on some of the newer cars. It is just silly when car manufacturers bury the functions deep within the menus. Surely it can be made more intuitive. 🤷
Natural chemistry. I'm so pleased Rory has found his home at auto trader, always thought he's a quality journalist. Him and Alex have a great natural way with each other. Spin off series?
This review. Just this review scoops all the awards of car reviews . Its like what the heart wants and the head argues back with these two. Fantastic. Absolutely brilliant review. BTW......its a straight line weapon 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I just love X7, currently I’m driving XC90, if I can afford, X7 will definitely my next option. PS, I am not expecting SUV accelerating and handling like 911😂
Love this X7, looks imposing and great spec. Really enjoyed your car reviews over the years, the passion and great sense of humour. Please stay SOLO!!!
Seen other reviews of the X7, and this one is the best. I think the colour of the vehicle contributed as well, looks really sick! The front headlights give a strong Jaguar feel, but I gotta say BMW did it better. Amazing job Rory and Alex, greetings from Prague.
Didn't know Alex was part of the team, so I've SUBSCRIBED Rory and Alex are very entertaining, so I'll be watching all the vlogs with Alex and Rory in them 😉👍
The cluttered touchscreen aircon/heating submenu system is awful and confusing and extremely dangerous if operated while driving. The solution for this dilemma is having a rotating physical knob on the touchscreen graphics display which you can turn using an actual physical knob situated somewhere else within the driver/passenger’s reach. Also there should be another rotating physical knob with quick access to aircon and other settings. This again will be connected to the graphic display. This system will cure this dangerous and irritating/confusing system of submenus for quick needed settings. Automobile Interior and industrial designers take note. You’re Welcome. Not to brag, but I thought about the hot/cold drinks holder years ago. Happy to see it in action.
News for you Alex unless you are a farmer or living in the Australian outbacks all SUVs are a fashion statement! In which case just get the brashest there is, get the X7! 🤪
I just ordered my 2025 a week ago. The main reason I’m buying it is because I have another kid on the way and i already have 2 kids. Very excited about it
Great review. Have to admit the X7 is a spaceship, X5 it simply a better choice. We have an M50 and it has a plenty of power when needed and comfotable ride quality for everyday driving
Why buy an X5 and not a 5 series, handles worse, slower than a 5 series with same engine, worse on fuel, not really much more useable space, I don't get the appeal?
@@redline589 as much as I love the 5 series, with kids and at times offroad driving (not that it has really that much capability when it come to that) - one is better off with X5.
I gotta do more research on lux cars bc when I saw the new M5 cs dog walk a hellcat charger in a drag race and in a roll race I was like BMW has to be fugging numbers and they CLEARLY was. I wanna say the CS was listed at 500+ horses but it’s more like 700+
Rory this was such a funny video it honestly reminded me of the dynamics between you Chris and Matt on TG you and Alex were clearly having a lot of fun well done gents
If you compare it to an X5 maybe it does not make a lot of sense. But if you compare it with a Range Rover, X7 can look like a very good option. It's all about what you are looking for. Myself, I would love the space...
......Probably would be a good idea to get to know the car before you review it, if that what this was. I'm no BMW fan, not one bit, but I got the 2020 version M50i for my wife on offer, and despite being an enthusiast car guy, after driving this thing on a road trip, for once I felt that probably that's all the car one can need. And no, you do need X7 sized cars, particularly when you got a big family, do family road trips, and haul around lots of groceries and stuff. It's an all-in-one whether you like such cars or not, and the strange part is, it drives like a small 5 seater the way it's made, particularly with that over-the-top camera and parking system.
I love my X7 M50i. I don’t find it big at all compared to domestic full size SUV’s. It drives awesome and wants to cruise at 100mph. Very easy to drive aggressively and inspires confidence. When you need the extra space, it’s nice to have. There are things in the M60i that I don’t agree with. I hate the toggle gear selector. Bring back the shift lever with sport and manual shifting. Bring back the preset buttons and hvac controls. At least the temp buttons. Bring back the auto stop/start button. Bring back the exhaust note of the M50i which is more aggressive. Other than those things, it’s a fantastic vehicle but I’m staying with mine right now because I don’t think they will ever return.
Rory works best when there is another car guy around him. I like Rory in Top gear and i like Rory on Auto trader, but Rory with friends make it so much better.
Finally, real freinds coming together and shitting on each others opinions than just ur run off the mill top spec presenters to review a car. This is what we need.
Love the banter and fooling around as well as giving great info. However, I disliked the obvious bias Alex brought. He didn’t like it from the start and it affected his opinions throughout the video. Just because it doesn’t fit YOUR situation doesn’t make it a bad vehicle.
I really enjoyed the dynamic between Alex and Rory, more please.
agree
Yep, reminds me of car throttle, they both work well with each other!
@@LewisRhymes Reminds me of TG :)
I agree with that 👍🏻
the InbetGeezers
My family actually got this car a month and half ago, and it’s headlights are BRIGHT. Although it doesn’t look as good in videos, I can assure you they will look better in person.
The X5 is the best looking SUV on the market ( maybe with the Purosangue from Ferrari) so the X7 will obviously looks extremely good too
you would say that though if you've bought one...
Got one as well. It is favorably priced compared to a Range Rover or a GLS.
Ok desperate BMW marketing person.

The chemistry between these two men is just amazing. I love how Alex says BMW doesn't like the X7 because they didn't even finish painting it.
Its amazing how people forget the importance of chemistry between presenters
This is what TopGear should be. These two plus Chris Harris 👍🏼
Top Gear? Is it still on? 😂
Only a matter of time, swapping out the jocks for people that all care for the craft
I love Rory solo reviews but this was enjoyable. This car is a beast and looks the part. Great review. Thanks
I actually think this car looks great. I haven't been a big fan of recent BMW designs, but this X7 looks menacing!
Same. It's only the XM that I wasn't sure about but even that is starting to grow on me if Im being honest.
The grills are big but so is the x7 so it’s proportional
If you think this looks menacing you maybe have some serious issues
"Menacing" is the perfect word to describe it's front fascia
Same I love it but I think it looks Way better with non m-sport trim
The energy you two guys have is a pleasure to watch; you brought a smile to my face all the way😄
Brilliant dynamic with the two of them! We need more of this AutoTrader :)
This is the best looking SUV on sale in my opinion
That was brilliant,the banter between Alex and Rory was hilarious. I would love to see more videos with the dynamic duo.keep the good work up.🎉🎉🎉
Alex is hilarious…Rory is as good as always. This DUO rock! We want more videos of you guys
Please keep Alex on! Awesome chemistry between you guys!
Elite duo! Can watch these two for days! Keep up the good work.
What a brilliant video, this is as good as Yanni and Matt. You need to do this more often. Alex and Rory make a good duo.
Yianni is without doubt the most annoying person ever.. I have to turn off..
This duo is absolutely amazing to watch. Keep them coming.
I don't know if there's something wrong with me, but I kinda like this new face of the X7 LCI better than the previous gen.
I love my X5. Though I wish BMW would give the rear seat just a little more leg room and allow the seats to recline.
Very entertaining guys. And yes, the X7 is excessive, but if you need 7 seats and you’re loaded…why not?
In real life This looks good on the motorway 🔥🔥🔥
nah, dont like soccer mom SUV's
Every time Alex collaborates with someone the chemistry is always great. He must be a genuine funny little man
I'll keep my 2019 thanks. Much better looking. 95% the same.
Grat video. Given this car can only make sense to a large family it would have been great to see you do some family things, like trying to park it at Tesco (or given the price tag waitrose) it would really help get a feel of the size of the thing
I completely agree with you!

The boys are at it again. All smiles.
Love this! Please bring this duo back again!
The dynamic between the 2 is perfect more of this please @autotrader
I completely agree with the point on infotainment systems on some of the newer cars. It is just silly when car manufacturers bury the functions deep within the menus. Surely it can be made more intuitive. 🤷
AWESOME!!! Their dynamic is spot on excellent!!! MORE OF THIS PLEASE!!
Natural chemistry. I'm so pleased Rory has found his home at auto trader, always thought he's a quality journalist. Him and Alex have a great natural way with each other. Spin off series?
I love the way Rory and Alex are BFFs, they remind me of me and my best friend 4 years ago
Rory quality as always, really like this duo as well
You both do so well together. Loved this review.
Hell yeah, 100K for seeing the untreated dual exhaust tips through the massive plastic trim openings. Stay classy BMW
Alex has such a big personality and it brings out the silliness in the people around him. I love it!

Best video! You guys had so much fun!
Great to see Alex on for some honest opinions, instead of the usual repetition of the manufacture’s brochure bs
Love this X7, looks imposing and great spec. Really enjoyed your car reviews over the years, the passion and great sense of humour. Please stay SOLO!!!
I love this back and forth type interaction video, y’all should do more
Love alex’s defiance i would be the same the x5m is all you need the ultimate car imo
I enjoy your reviews please keep it up
Man i see everyday has one of these with 7f as the plate how much would that plate cost?
Drove of these as a rental for 4 days, what a nice ride.
We’ve done a couple of these on our car subscription programs and they have gone down very well with the customers
The joys of doing a job you really like
I realy can't get used on those grils.. but love the collab. Keep up the awesome work.
"What is ambient air?"
"I think they charge you to breath"
LMAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
As much as I like the fifth TMNT Alex is the realest person talking about cars in GB
This combo is awesome. Love the video
DUDE!! You teamed up with Alex!!!! This is awesome
in my country with large families we'd say: this car is indeed "boss zonke"
Ndiyakuva mna
What a lovely duo…simply uplifting.

Ok, i Loved that one...They have exceptional dynamic between them. More please!
I have this in Marina Bay Blue and it's like driving a big blue missile.
wow these guys are great im never missing another show
These guys are the best !
Great chemistry with these two!
Didn't know Alex was part of the team, so I've SUBSCRIBED Rory and Alex are very entertaining, so I'll be watching all the vlogs with Alex and Rory in them 😉👍
Ngl the Kia telluride got the same interior for far less

I agree with ruairi in the m60 trim it looks quite hard-core (BTW loved the reiview)
I dont like the car due to the split head ligths, but i do like Rory Reid and his side kick.
News for you Alex unless you are a farmer or living in the Australian outbacks all SUVs are a fashion statement! In which case just get the brashest there is, get the X7! 🤪
Awesome duo!!! Go Rory + Alex! ❤️
I just ordered my 2025 a week ago. The main reason I’m buying it is because I have another kid on the way and i already have 2 kids. Very excited about it
What color combo did you go for?
This video was good fun. It was like I was part of the crew. Nice one guys🤜🤛
The dynamic duo we never knew we wanted🙌
No way! Car Throttle x Autotrader collab ?! I’m here for it
Great review. Have to admit the X7 is a spaceship, X5 it simply a better choice. We have an M50 and it has a plenty of power when needed and comfotable ride quality for everyday driving

@@redline589 it just makes people feel superior to other drivers because it's taller.
@@redline589 as much as I love the 5 series, with kids and at times offroad driving (not that it has really that much capability when it come to that) - one is better off with X5.
Good job guys. Impressional presentation.
Love the car Rory and the sound of the i7 is something out of Star Wars.🎉🎉🎉
Nigel and Malcolm...
Quoting the legendary Car Throttle BMW driver video 😂 love it!
Great video guys
My 2021 X5 45e has the same 0to60 as this m variant x7… my non m non even sport package 18inch rims x5 is as quick…I agree with Alex.
I gotta do more research on lux cars bc when I saw the new M5 cs dog walk a hellcat charger in a drag race and in a roll race I was like BMW has to be fugging numbers and they CLEARLY was. I wanna say the CS was listed at 500+ horses but it’s more like 700+
Rory this was such a funny video it honestly reminded me of the dynamics between you Chris and Matt on TG you and Alex were clearly having a lot of fun well done gents
Been out for quite a bit, I got to drive this
Rory, you're the slow one, this hits in 4.6 proven
that price point tho ooofff! lol ...love seeing you two do this :D
If you compare it to an X5 maybe it does not make a lot of sense. But if you compare it with a Range Rover, X7 can look like a very good option. It's all about what you are looking for. Myself, I would love the space...
What a joy to watch your videos🙌🏿
Alex is good company.. this video was just too much fun..
Another quality review. Informative, entertaining & amusing. Car Wow take note!!
Pleasant analysis and presentation!
I watch both auto trader and auto Alex and they are both entertaining. This video was funny and doesn’t take itself too seriously.
X7 is really for the US market, we like our big SUVs over here like what we get from GM
......Probably would be a good idea to get to know the car before you review it, if that what this was.

some how i think this looks better vs the front of the new 7 series
I love my X7 M50i. I don’t find it big at all compared to domestic full size SUV’s. It drives awesome and wants to cruise at 100mph. Very easy to drive aggressively and inspires confidence. When you need the extra space, it’s nice to have. There are things in the M60i that I don’t agree with. I hate the toggle gear selector. Bring back the shift lever with sport and manual shifting.

Other than those things, it’s a fantastic vehicle but I’m staying with mine right now because I don’t think they will ever return.
Agree with your observations and have to decide whether to turn my M50i lease in and get a new M60i or buy our my M50i 🤔
The can't use your phone but adjusting the climate is more complicated is so true
Alex standing next to the X7 is hilarious.
18:49 Is this a headlight condence ?
pls let Alex review the new BMW XM. Would love to see his opinion also from a brand point of view
Rory works best when there is another car guy around him. I like Rory in Top gear and i like Rory on Auto trader, but Rory with friends make it so much better.
Back when the "60i" meant a proper V12.... sad times we live in
Finally, real freinds coming together and shitting on each others opinions than just ur run off the mill top spec presenters to review a car. This is what we need.
Love the banter and fooling around as well as giving great info. However, I disliked the obvious bias Alex brought. He didn’t like it from the start and it affected his opinions throughout the video. Just because it doesn’t fit YOUR situation doesn’t make it a bad vehicle.
This is slowly turning into a uk version of Car Trek with fancy cars
