- MotoMan drives the biggest BMW ever: The 2019 BMW X7 xDrive50i. Yes, it has the same magnificent 456 HP twin turbo V8 as we drove in the BMW M550i, yes it has the trademark BMW kidney grille and yes, it does indeed look like an overgrown X5. However, MotoMan learns while driving the 2019 BMW X7 xDrive50i that it may be very plush, yet it is not is a BMW . . .

I’ll be honest. First I hated the looks. Now I love it. That often happens to me with BMW. The X7 looks great!
Me too on this one.
Nobody wants a luxury car. Why would they? A full blow luxury/muscle SUV does everything better with more comfort and room. Why not spend more money on a luxury SUV the entire family can use and you probably will spend more time in and on long road trips. It’s a 4.5 0-60mph monster. BMW owns and invented the luxury SUV category way back with the X5. Todays new X5/X7 crushes the competition.
Loved the video, but you misunderstood how the driving assist and traffic assist work. The normal driving assist can maintain your speed, distance to car ahead and steer the car for you but you are supposed to leave your hands on the wheel. The traffic jam assist is if you are on something like an expressway and you have te normal driving assist on but hit some slow moving traffic, it prompts you to activate a new mode that is hands off as long as the traffic stays slow. That traffic assist mode let's you be hands free indefinitely as long as the camera deems you are looking ahead and paying attention.
This guy is the absolute truth, I watch almost all the big hitters in the car review game but this guy right here is the most fun, the most intuitive, and the most well rounded overall person to watch and learn something from. #MOTOMAN #THETRUTH!
"There is no such thing as an autonomous vehicle." Amen brother!
Not sure about your comment about how robust those vehicles are, from my experience in the industry, yes buying habits are looked into in engineering phase (mainly parts longevity/ service times), however, it’s more warranty cost that impact engineering and robustness, not leasing vs private buying.
In general I do agree that older cars seems to last more but, new cars with their extra added complexity of systems are engineered to even a higher standards than older cars.
I think newer cars won’t last as much as older cars, but that’s only because buyers habits are changing (I.e. more leasing), and the fact that we are becoming more consumers and want the latest and like to change cars often but not necessarily engineering standards that our dropping.
MOTOMAN! Nice review of the X7!
Great looking BMW SUV.
I think you’re spot on with the lease thing. I do not want to own a modern car after warranty in this day and age. My 2005 car starts to get closer to the end of its life (261.000km on the clock) and it starts to make no sense to keep fixing it when there are so many sensor that can go wrong and all the parts are so expensive.
Thanks for this lovely review for the new beast in the block. I would also look forward if you can kindly review the new 2020 MB GLS. Or maybe share your views among X7, GLS, Escalade, Navigator & Q7 when it comes to lease the best premium 3row seating luxury suv, which is also best in space and a good value for money. Thanks in advnace.
throw away sheer driving pleasure , bring me some space is nowaday philosophy of BMW
After more than a century, you don't get to decide what BMW is, their history is built on going into new segments & building product superior & alternative to existing dull competition. So yes, this is a BMW, just as Isettas, motorcycles & jet engines are BMW.
Fun video! I bought an X7 M50 and am in love, it's another world.
Boss your companion
He loves it..
And that V8 Bmw know how to make um..
All suvs should have real spares under or inside as standard NOT RUN FLAT,don’t like sitting around for hours and hours waiting for recovery because the run flat has destroyed it self.
Great video as always from a fan in the 🇬🇧
One of your better reviews
I have an x7. And for anyone that hates the grill, I know that you could not have possibly seen the suv in person. It fits the car perfectly.
How has been your experience with it? Any issues?
I concur my guy
@@midnight161 you’d have to be more specific. I haven’t had any problems. I love it, and it rides so smoothly.
The X7 is a long as a Chevy Tahoe but does it look as big and does it have as much room inside?
$120,945 in 2019 at a beautiful dealership....$19,995 in 2029 with $10,000 in deferred maintenance and repairs at Joe Blow used car lot down the street.
@Dave Palomba, try to go buy the pyramids. In 2029, only 10 years after I made my initial comment, IF this thing is found for more than that, it will only be because it will have very very low miles and ALL maintenance, repair and recall issues addressed....but boy problems are coming, regardless. Still, while under warranty this is an amazing vehicle.
@Dave Palomba I'll bet you love buying cars, lawn mowers, washers, dryers, stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers, entire homes (as they are built to the lowest possible standards too) every few years. If you do, congratulations for having the patience and financial wherewithal to endure that.
People shopping in this segment have tons of people and stuff to haul around. It's nice having more options with a 3rd row. The superior foreign build quality and available options are worth the price hike too.
Never has there been a more polarizing vehicle for me. While on one hand I'm absolutely in love with the X7, I'm simultaneously terrified of the track record for BMW maintenance and repair costs. I typically keep my cars for a long time so leasing is not an option for me. And while this is absolutely the most attractive vehicle in the segment for me, above the Escalade, Range Rover, G-Wagen, and Navigator. I cannot convince myself that it will last over 150k miles. I wish I could have this SUV with a Lexus LX drivetrain. In other words BMW performance with parts built to last a lot longer. That's my dream vehicle.
Hello Mr. MotoMan, I've been following your channel for awhile now and really appreciate your content and opinions. I did get my 911 after watching your video, so thanks to a happy viewer.
I'm curious in your comment that you see parts that won't last over a short period of time on the X7. Can you please share as I have this vehicle on my short list of potential SUVsI plan on selecting to purchase. The front runner as of today is the GMC Yukon Denali, would appreciate any remarks on that vehicle as well. Thank You Stanley
Congratulations . . . Great choice!
Beautiful car
Why are you so focused on the family aspect!? If someone can afford a 90-140k car, their kids are likely much older and more mature and therefore unlikely to be a worry in terms of white leather, bench seats, or any of the other things you pointed out. And brand loyalty is definitely a thing at the top end of car shopping, people who can afford cars above the 80-90k dollar mark like what they like and are rarely going to switch, or they will have certain cars from certain brands. An example would be my family, we have an X3 M40i and an S560 4matic. Clearly they are the best in their segment. Now as for the X7 not being a “BMW”, they have changed over the past 5-7 years to become a more well rounded brand, and as a consequence they have the most rounded cars on sale today. Having test drove the X7, it is the most “BMW” in the segment by far, while also maintaining the most comfortable ride. Consider this as well, most people in America, where the X7 will sell the best, drive with only themselves in the car. Especially people with large expensive cars. They don’t give a toss about family practicality. They want the best features, best build quality, best reliability, and best brand prestige they can get, just as they would in the full size luxury sedan market. The world has been this way for a while, weird that some people haven’t realized that.
amazing car! I loved the X7
PLEASE do the leasing episode! It doesn't have to be perfectly edited or scripted; think of the millions of people who will learn and the effect it will have! 🐶
Be careful what you wish for, because you will get it . . . :)
MotoMan, very interesting. Please share your thoughts on what is the best luxury sedan on the market that will last 250k miles. Like some other viewers, I'm disappointed with the SUV/CUV craze. Would be nice if more touring models were available, but Americans don't understand much about vehicles/driving dynamics/or simple mechanics. Automakers are catering to the buyer who cares nothing about performance; rather all the electrical gimmicks. Thanks in advance for any comments. Just throwing ideas out to see how you and others feel...
It's like a BMW 7 Series, pulled and stretched to suit it to be called an SUV. Obviously can tell how stretched the front grill is, haha!
I've been giving your question a lot of though as to why do buyers of this segment still buy more American brands that any other segment. From my existing knowledge and a little research, my guess is that it's a combination of buying inertia for decades combined with the Escalade and Navigator not totally sucking when competition did finally show up (unlike other products).
The question should be asked, what did well-heeled buyers with large families drive in the decades previous? And I'll set the table as that a "large family" requires a 7 passenger vehicle or more. According to the Cadillac Database online, Cadillac began selling a large 7 passenger sedan all the way back in 1915, coinciding with the early V8 engines. This is a differentiation from a limousine product (where your man drives you) which Cadillac had introduced in 1911. As time went on, this 7 passenger product got renamed the Fleetwood 75, to which there was a limo version (with a partition) and a regular extra-large sedan version. You might think that the non-limo version would only be purchased for livery duty but into the 1950s, Cadillac was still marketing it in sales brochures toward larger families of means.
But a different vehicle began to get traction mid-20th century and that was the station wagon. Although the first were introduced before WWII, all of those products were marketed as livery vehicles, largely serving train stations (hence the name). Post-WWII, wagons were marketed to families and sales took off. And it was again a very viable option for a wealthy family to buy a Buick Roadmaster wagon versus a Cadillac Fleetwood 75 if you had a pile of kids, dogs and gear.
And then a new vehicle type showed up in the early 1960s....what we call now the full sized SUV. Jeep introduced the Wagoneer and began marketing it early to wealthy families that needed a truck that could still be a luxury vehicle around town (some of the earliest sales literature had it around polo horses). The Wagoneer was a replacement for the earlier Jeep Station Wagon introduced right after WWII and began it's life as a classic "woodie". Back in the 1990s I took a ski trip to Aspen and I was amazed at how many Wagoneers were there, even though the product had been discontinued by this point after a 30 year run. It was like Aspen was the place where Wagoneers went to die. And yes, I realize that the Chevy Suburban had been around since 1936, but the Suburban in its first decades was strictly a work truck or livery vehicle and wasn't marketed at families. The sales literature doesn't even mention the Suburban as a viable option for families until 1972 when it was finally included in the "wagons" literature. And the Cadillac Fleetwood 75 non-limo was finally killed in 1976 although by this time, it was marketed toward livery duty....the Fleetwood Brougham (the renamed 60 Special) became the large vehicle of choice in the early 70s.
With the Wagoneer gone in 1991 and wagons themselves being replaced by minivans and smaller SUVs, families wanting this class of vehicle continued to buy Suburbans and GMC Yukons until the Lincoln Navigator appeared for the 1998 model year and the Escalade was introduced a year later. And while there was a foreign option for the Range Rover available during this time period that saw many buyers, that car was never the size of the American vehicles. Another competitor in this category was the Toyota Land Cruiser and while that car has a history dating back to the 1950's in other markets, it only really became a thing in America for the 1990 model year (and the twin Lexus LX in 1996). With the Mercedes GL appearing in 2007 and the X7 only now showing up, both Cadillac and Lincoln have had time to ensure that their two most profitable vehicles are still considered viable leaders in this segment, having lost leadership with their other cars since the 1970s.
MotoManTV, I would really appreciate your honest opinion. If I were interested in a SUV which truly you would recommend me?
Let's start by saying price is not too much of an issue. I know any brand and any car can break because they're not perfect, but I do want reliability and longevity. I'm more into performance but luxury does come closely in second. I don't mind gas mileage either. It could be a two row or three row SUV, I don't mind that.
So with these few points, which SUV would you seriously recommend? Which SUV do you think would do me justice on my taste?
Please choose at least three options, since I might not like the looks of the one you pick if it was a single pick.
Thanks in advance and I love you're videos.
RobWilli Mercedes benz gls or gle
I do diminished value claims. After researching this vehicle for a client, I have found tons of rental use vehicles dumped between 1k-20k miles. Most in the mid $60k range. Carfax values $75-$85k but right now they can be bought in the mid 60's. Alot of branded title/lemon buybacks also. Anyone know why?
I just bough X7, I did consider all 4 options. I think that is because perception is that with big SUV reliability and quality appear to be close between all 4. Reason I went with X7 is it has more features than Navigator, more comfortable than GLS (2019), and Escalade will have new generation which not available here plus it only come with V8 and for this kind of car I prefer V6.
I am in Saudi Arabia. So far I am liking it a lot
I agree. A lot of these new vehicles don't inspire longevity.
My observation about the luxury SUV segment is that they are often purchased for the status. To some that means the newest model, regardless of the brand. So it could be a Volvo XC90, BMW X5, Range Rover, Porsche Cayenne or Audi Q7. US vehicles are less common here in Norway, but the big American SUVs are purchased by the same, somewhat macho, segment of customers that buy the Toyota Landcruiser.
When are you going to do an actual review of the X7?
I'll bite . . . Aside from you not agreeing with my assessment, what about this was NOT a review?
Love your channel and you are a sports car guy. I get that. I have an X5M and an M4 vert and so I get where you are coming from. As you might have guessed my wife has the X7. You spent too much time on the things other reviewers have gripped about, like slow seats. Your the guy that always covers driving dynamics. When I saw this pop up I thought you would review driving dynamics against the other luxury soccer mom tanks. My wife had the GLS for 4 years before the X7. I HATED that thing (she loved it) and it’s driving dynamics. I’ve driven all the 3 row luxury tanks and the X7 is the “BMW” out of the bunch. It converted my wife to BMW! I was hoping you would compare against these cars and not against a regular car.
Very fair points all the way around. A bit behind the scenes on all my episodes to answer your question: We don't shoot them right away, rather take some time to get to know them. We combine that with some pre-research and come up with an 'outline' for the Run of Show. Yes, there are some variations but ALL episodes get driving dynamics, pulling/pushing power and some variation of steering/brakes/transmission as it is required to help tell the story. As of late, the #OptionsGame. This episode got all of those - multiple. In fact, it was shot with both a driving dynamics AND a 'ride quality' segment. It was in the edit, that we decided to pull out a drive dynamics segment as it was only focused on the air ride/adjustable suspension because it said virtually the same thing as the ride quality bit. Everything else that was presented was what 'spoke' to me about this car. It is super plush. It is a super cushy ride. It is VERY fancy on the inside. It has a KILLER stereo (also didn't make the final edit), but a BMW it is not - which is not to say it is bad. Appreciate the respectful discussion, your choice in your daily drivers and your viewership. MM
Thanks for the additional insight! Keep the videos coming 👍🏻. PS the Bowers & Wilkins is the best sound system in a car I’ve ever heard!
@@adamp6666 I think you've got a good point I went from a couple of Range Rovers to Trading 2 a 2019 BMW X5 5.0 with 22 + wheels love the truck do not have run-flat tires fast and quiet what a driving machine
I remember the internet going all in on the hate of the 2009 Lincoln MKS grill, calling the Baling Whale look.
Well, since then the top luxury brands have gone past this rather nice design of the MKS to Alien and now this huge grill.
Tell me, which is more artistically inclined, the old MKS or these newer, larger in your face attacks on design????
As someone who's owned both mercedes and escalades (and cayenne & hummer), the answer to your question is because there are not many options in this large luxury SUV space, and the escalade offers the best bang for buck in terms of size, standard features, status, and importantly, discounts. Escalades are heavily discounted. You could get one with an msrp of $90k for like 75-80k, which makes them more realistically and financially competitive with foreign rivals.
i wonder what breed Kumo is, Alaskan Malamute maybe? Also I think the brown 'Merino' interior look just as elegant, but more functional.
He is a Siberian Husky. He is all white because he has a recessive gene so does not have the usual grey or brown color in his coat.
After checking some SUV, it seems to me that there is more differences between SUVs than between other cars from different segments.
If you are going to make statements like doubting that it will make 186,000 miles based on "things you can see" it might be a good idea to give those examples. Fact is powertrains are what makes cars "last" for 186,000 miles.
didnt get the point from this video .. what are you trying to deliver?
@Benjamin Mathew who said it's a sport car??? this is obviously a family car
Best large SUV!
This and the updated Mercedes GLS are the two best 7 seat SUV’s (available in the UK). A very personal decision between the two. My guess is the first one to release a PHEV drivetrain will win the sales quicker. A big deal breaker for any current BMW - paying for Apple CarPlay after 12 months????
Why are buyers open to so many brands in the segment, you ask? Simple: Size and Bling = Road Presence. Precision crafted performance or solid as a rock reliability is not on offer here. It's all about who has the biggest grill that can dominate the road and impress your passengers with ultimate luxury.
X7 baby 💵👀
Might get one in 10 years
It’s the best looking BMW SUV
Nice ride, but there's some overlap in pricing between the X5 M and the X7 that no one has addressed. I'm in the boat of "Just because you can, does not mean you should" build it. What the X5 offers in terms of amenities is the same of which the X7 offers, albeit with a third row. Why not invest in the X5 and offer more product for the price?
The reason for the discrepancy is all about family, practicality, and price. We’ve gone from Suburban LWB to GL/GLS and now to Ford Expedition. It’s all about the usage. We used to tow more (horses, boats, etc), Hence the American big boy towmobile. We also needed all 8 seats and room for the dogs (Hence the Suburban LWB.) oh, btw the ‘Burban was an LTZ. Then we bought the Mercedes. Here’s why. Reason #1. Safety and comfort. After years of driving a body-on-frame heavy full size, we were ready for something new. Enter the 1st gen GL. we switched to that. We no longer needed the size and heft of the suburban, and it was going to be far more reliable. We kept getting GL Diesels until 2018. Then we got an expedition. Why the change? Expense. The Big Benz was expensive. It was more financially effective to buy an Expedition. More room, more features, lower price. (By the way, this is a 2018 Ford Expedition 4x4 Platinum Standard Wheelbase). So brand loyalty is not that important in this segment. If there is a brand that offers what you need, that’s the vehicle you get. It’s not a spec for spec type competition here. It’s not about convincing your buyers to upgrade. Brand loyalty does not play a part in this segment because why should it? I personally feel like the GL was the best I hope we switch back the GLS when our lease is up on the Ford. That’s my two cents and greetings from Seattle.
Boss man is back, Ola Kumo!
Brogue shoes the other day, watch and sunglasses today ... Showoff! 👍
Regarding the #OptionsGame, the last 4 contenders have a brand new Carrera between in them in options alone ... Santa Maria Madre De Dioes 😱.
As for the X7, I finally saw one (two actually) for the first time today. Its not as polarizing as I thought it would be in prison, I like it a lot actually. If I was looking, the new X7 M50i would definitely be my first choice.
I'm with you on the white leather, great? Yes! Practical? When pigs fly lol.

Regarding to why people would cross shop the German breed with the Escalade and Navigator. Well, the Escalade, Navigator & LX were basically it if you needed something of this caliber ... Lincoln and Lexus neglecting their offerings for almost 20 years made the Escalade the only game in town, but Zee Germans took notice and they're coming in hot. If GM fumbles the next Escalade (most likely will), it'll lose the segment.
As always, excellent work, M.
Ford/Lincoln doesn't even offer the Navigator in Europe. Also, US-imports in Europe cost a lot more than they do in the US. For example, the Cadillac Escalade 6.2 4x4 has a German MSRP of 101,580 EUR, that's $113,800 by today's conversion. As for the X7 V8's, they are not yet available in Europe.
Does it have indicators, if it does it's not a BMW
Original!
Big people need big BMW's...
Buyers in this segment are not car enthusiasts, which means they also don't have 'brand' loyalty.
John Castorina Buyers in this segment also have big incomes.
Why can buyers of SUVs not be enthusiasts? In fact I know many people how drive BMW SUVs since ages and are quite loyal to the brand
hsbthree anyone can afford it with good credit, if you know how that works
@@thehauke7981 no... Car enthusiasts are driving enthusiasts... No one who drives out of passion would drive an SUV. they can't corner... They're not responsive...
@@sonofsal5778 No that's not what I meant. Sure they might buy an SUV if they love their family so much... But if they're only thinking about themselves and are buying a vehicle purely for driving pleasure, highest chances are that it would be a low slung car that can be cornered...not an SUV.
I know what airport that is in your picture because I don't live to far from there. Also play tennis near where you let your cool looking dog walk the trail path near Pier Avenue. Oh! the road where you where trying to allow the BMW X7 to drive by it'self at lower speeds, I hang out at that Bestbuy. And I love the BMW X7 too. I'm going to rent an X5 Black next month just to see if I like them. If I do, I'll get the X5 x50i white one with the same interior that I saw you in.
Not that I'm in the market for a "high end" suv.
I need seating for eight plus room for cargo. Which this suv does not provide.
ProudNavyDad SWO provides it for me, my family are all 5'7 and 150 pounds skinny built. Might fit all 80 of us
@@mithaqali9921
That's probably true. The cargo space is next to nothing. A Ford Expedition Max or a Lincoln L is what I'm looking at. Those suv's can seat eight (the max will) plus plenty of cargo space.
@@electroniccheeks maybe a minibus?
@@varunkamal91
No, a suv.
4k options = nice nissan leaf 😀
"This is not a BMW" as in "This is not a click bait"
I think you can blame Tesla model X for that with a price $140k plus and the tag “family suv”, actual luxury car makers went after same customer s who got tired of their Teslas and here we are 3-row super Expensive Luxury SUVs. You drive off the lot, it drops $ by 20-30%. Same reason Apple started selling phones for $1500, just because they can - it’s a status symbol. MotoMan, Great “not BMW” review👍🏼. My Current daily driver is 2011 BMW M3 e90 manual, my “family car”, and my wife drives also family car 2015 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro, if we were to buy a 3row SUV, it would be Toyota Land Cruiser (Reliable, Practical, Understated, holds it’s value, go anywhere tank)
Doesn’t straightpipes have the same title?
According to the Logo, it IS a BMW.
200 000km warranty in EU. What you said :D
Good question. "Why I choose a BMW over the others?" Bottom line: It's the people. I like the people that drive BMW's more than those who drive the other vehicles - You asked.
Looks like an Atlas.
Beautiful dog....
All these German vehicles are beautiful my question is reliability on all the components 186000 miles on one of these new vehicles not likely $$$😱😥😟
I tried (and completely failed) to like that grille. This is not a BMW. Its a “how much did you spend” status symbol, which will depreciate very quickly. In this class, hands down, I choose the Touareg III 4.0 TDI over all competitors.
An ordonary car is not an investment...always remember...unless if its a sorts car...then maybe..otherwise just buy a car you love mate...
That’s a pretty dog I want em !!!!
Driveable Wardrobe ...
That grill looks ridiculous.
If they want a larger grill, they could incorporate the Kidneys over Horizon grill of a BMW 2002. Im surprised the designers havent done this already.
it is 523 HP now. This is the most and the only comfortable bmw product.
Cuz the best of the best of said brands are not found in suvs, well not the best that they are looking for. As you said, "this is not a bmw" more like they dont care if it's a bmw more so what the car offers. But when it comes to fast luxury cars. People are more split.
BMW X7 - Break my wallet 7 times over
Give it 2 years. Get a pre-owned certified used one for much much less. Or even lease one.
15:10. Are or isnt?
... It's a sign BWW is changing priorities from ultimate driving to ultimate something else. What that something else is, I can't say. In a sea of SUVs/CUVs, I want a return of the wagons (aka Touring in BMW speak).
Talk about fleecing to the Nth degree on the options list...
K03sport as an owner of an X3M40i with 20k miles in one year, and an M4 of 70k miles in 3 1/2 years, they are becoming more of the ultimate well rounded machine.
@@nikiller95... Possibly for ppl who are becoming more rounded themselves. Is BMW's focus on the driving or the technology around the driving? M cars are awesome, but if that's the only way to experience true BMW dynamics, what are the non-M cars offering? I just want a sub 40k 3series wagon (touring), but that seems to be a pipe dream in North America.
no wonder only 195 k
I think the reason why buyers in this segment are more open to different brands is because at this price point luxury is luxury...All these cars are considered Boss cars... whereas at the lower price points it’s more personal... it would be like Beverly Hills vs Bel Air. It’s all money... but people looking at other neighbors who may be very nice in their own rights but are far less expensive, those buyers are going to be far more particular and Discerning about where and how they spend there money and they are going to Nick pick far more about the area vs someone who’s buying a million dollar home that just wants to be where the money is.....I think if we were to do a study it would show that the less people spend on average the more picky they are... because when we have less to spend we want to make sure we get it right and that we get all of our dollars worth... whereas when it comes to cars especially people with more to spend often don’t think that way, they just want something that Screams Money and success.....
Interesting discussion. Thanks for weighing in.
Love your dog 🐕 ❤ doesn't he need a hair cut? It seems like he's panting too much.
9:15 because they don't enjoy driving. They enjoy appearance, electronics, etc.
Most modern European vehicles are designed and built to last within warranty. When warranty expires, there are some that literally start falling apart.

Kumo sez thank you!
Kumo needs this car, Daddy.
Kumo has been on strike since we gave back the 991.2 GT3 Touring.

They are open because only Soccer MOM's buy these things and Soccer Moms just want to make sure little Timmy and his friends can all fit and that it's keeping up with the JONES as well.
That's all...
Does anyone knows why he always plays Greek music in the background to make all of us feel like we're in Santorini Island????
I like the grill and the headlights - but not these massive (fake?) air inlets below which destroy the appearance. Unfortunately also Mercedes makes this with its cars. But there must be a lot of customer who like this...
Non-msport looks a lot better on the 7. A family hauler doesn't need to look so angry.
I think that those in this purchasing demographic are less brand loyal. They seem mostly concerned with the price. It’s expensive I’ll buy that, philosophy.
Hahahaha so funny the kids won’t be using the ashtray in the middle row😒
If I add 3 packages can I get 1 extra package of equal or lesser value for free 🤔??? So, if they can be petty and ridiculous, why can't I???😉
Isn’t a Bentayga twice that price?
Starting. Goes up from there.
The suspension is not very good. It bounces around left and right, and yes camera guy is right, it’s wobbly, not good in a car this price
Maybe it’s a Rolls Royce from the colonies
If BMW hadn’t jumped onto the SUV train 20 years ago, the brand would be as significant as Alfa Romeo today. BMW builds SUVs and is very good at it.
They're great at making them last for 4 yrs or 50k miles, whichever comes first

These things are what most current consumers are buying. Get used to it, bmw has to adapt to the market change. It is what it is. Fragile millennials and generation x are buying suvs and crossovers even trucks. Bmw cant just make 5 and 3 series and expect to sell and compete with fierce competition from benz, audi, lexus, caddy and genesis. You dont like, you dont buy, get a small car. All these makes make something sensible and affordable, or just buy a camry and call it a day. Its not BMWs fault that they have to adapt to market change. Expect generation y and people born today buying more electric and hydrogen cars in the future. Whoever "manufacturer"doesn't adapt to change is left in the dast.
