BMW X7 for me.. more value for your money, higher quality materials, and better driving dynamics. I also think it looks better, though I liked the pre LCI more. Mercedes are very unreliable, BMW is 3rd most reliable according to consumer reports. I’ve had both, I can say BMW is more reliable
@@MMOchAForPrezthis a joke? 😂 have you seen the 2008 gl or the 2013 even? They look significantly dated and worse compared to the new one, which is definitely a more timeless design.

It will certainly look better over time than the X7
I have an X7 M60i. Feels way less of a boat than the GLS. Plus, the interior quality of the BMW is just way better than Mercedes, though Merc has more flash.
We had an x5 and ml350 back in 2012. Both 2011 model year, both diesels. A lot has changed since then I'm sure but one thing we can say, the x5 was a much better vehicle than the ml350 in terms of build quality, performance and comfort. Outside of the S class and a few other more bespoke platforms from benz (GTC,GTR, SL, G Class) it seems like BMW just makes better vehicles.
End in 2022, BMW was tied for 3rd in reliability with Mazda, only beating by Lexus and Toyota. 2023, they dropped to 9th, which is still impressive given all the tech they put in the cars.

I had a GLS loved it for its comfort, but a dang boat. then i got the X7 by far better than the GLS, X7 is more sporty still provides the luxury comfort and quietness. both cars have been super reliable. never had any issues. X7 always for me a winner..

Alpina is now sold on the BMW website and is no longer just an aftermarket tuner thus the Alpina XB7 competes with the GLS 63. The Alpina is the winner. Yes, Fan Man mode is activated.
Its not a pure M version like the X6M for example, its just a slightly sportier version of the X7. The merc here is also doing the same thing with the GLS 53 package which is the slight performance package right before the GLS63. The X7 M60 is the M340i of the X7 and not the M3
Awesome review. The X7, like all bimmers, is a drivers car. Both are so awesome. However, the Benz's middle row seats, despite being roomy, has a bench that's angled too backward; very uncomfortable for taller passangers. The benz is quite unsettled over bumpy roads with body lean round the bends. All in all, it comes to driver preference. I test drove both. And yep, I bought the 2023 X7. Best all round automobile I've ever had. For context I've owned ever new model sclass since 2013.
@@draganignjatov7291 I would rather drive an X7 than a tricked up Audi RSQ8 that has a name that sounds like something that you’d speak to your doctor about.
Mercedes is looking really dated lately in general. Their massive bezels on all their screens. The outdated font and UI in general. They have some decent tech, but the execution is so poor.
X7 is a great car in terms of quality and driving dynamics. A few negatives, ,lack of ability to unluck keyless-ly on rear doors and no dedicated buttons for hvac, having to scroll thru menus on the touch screen. Lastly, the front of the X7 reminds me of the over the top car they drove on the Chevy Chase Vacation movie. The X5 is a fantastic looking car, too bad the X7 doesn't look like a bigger version of that. Thanks for a great review.
Just put an order for GLS580 - fully loaded Alpine grey and brown. GLS has rear massage seats, rear tablet center console and a smoother softer ride. I already daily a M850i coupe so for family GLS is no brainer. X7 design is horrible and if you really want that platform, go for Alpina variant.
i think the x7 looks way nicer. to me the gls looks like an outdated minivan and has no presence, the x7s proportions are almost perfect and make it look way smaller than it is. the gls is more luxurious in the 2nd row but the x7 beats the gls in the third and first rows in terms of comfort, technology and quality.
There is a AMG inetriour trim option (ca. 2k) for the GLS wich may come with AMG floor mats, but the GLS in the comparison had this option not, otherways the wood trim would be carbon instead. May be some one at the dealership just put the false floor mats in the car.
No preference for me between these two. I don’t like the changes BMW has made to the headlights. I don’t like BMW’s digital screen implementation. Regarding the Mercedes, I don’t like air intake vents. They look not as bad with the GLS 63’s fascia. My pick would be a pre-refresh BMW because I prefer a more traditional design, inside and out.
Had a 2019 X7 M50i and we did not have black wheels but man I wish we did. Those big ass M Brakes make instant and a lot of brake dust and any chrome wheels instantly start to get black dust all over them. Just ordered a 25 X7 M60i and we went with the 22” black wheels. Can’t wait!
If anyone has done their homework on these 2 vehicles they would know that these cars are not being compared apples to apples. The Bmw has 23’ tires and wheels( black upgrades )where as the Mercedes just has the standard 21” wheels on it. (23” black are available). The BMW also has the upgraded leather where as again the Mercedes has the standard leather (Napa leather is available). The BMW is available w/ a bench in the back where as the Mercedes is also available with the captains chairs in the back! When spec’s out the same these cars are so close in overall quality and performance that it all comes down to personal choice!!! This review is coming from someone whom owns a 2021 BMw x7 m50i and I’ll tell you from an owners perspective this x7 m50i is great in a straight line but in corners it’s one FLOATY vehicle!! AKA body roll!!!
GLS. I like the more organic look of the design vs. the sharp-edged, boxy design of the X7 and the GLS, IMO, has more presence on the road. And I give the GLS the edge on interior design, though there is some criticism about some trim quality, but those are in mostly non-touch areas. And I'd also prefer a more luxurious ride in a large SUV. I had an X3 M40i that handled as well as any sports sedan/car but the ride was unrefined. I now have an X5 50i and the ride quality is so much more to my liking. And a bigger SUV for me would need to ride that much better.
I love that companies like Range Rover, Lexus, Cadillac and Jeep don't even bother with "sporty" handling. They're more focused on comfort and offroad use (even if the first owner won't take their cars offroad).
Just noticed that Continental only sells the rear tire size for the X7 m60i but not the front tire size. Kind of weird. Where do people go that has both front and rear tires?
I like your videos and have watched your reviews for so long. Having said that, your personal preference for Mercedes is so noticeable that it comes out biased in videos like this. Specifically for this comparison, the X7 is clearly the better car but you made sure to make the tiniest flaws in the BMW so important while giving a pass to every problem in the Mercedes. Shame on you for that.
bmw is a better car for me... better quality interior, better engine, better transmission, better driving experience, the best infotainment system out there and if you want the more comfortable x7 just don't go with the m sport.
The Hole is a small neighborhood in New York City on the border between Brooklyn and Queens. It is a low-lying area, with a ground level that is 30 feet (9.1 m) lower than the surrounding area. The area is run-down, and suffers from frequent flooding.
Make it make sense. Mercedes reserves their V8's for a car like this SUV and not the new CLE or C63? They have proven they can make big power with 4 cylinders, so why not give those big power engines to cars like this and give the sound and experience of the V8's to the sportscars? IT MAKES NO SENSE.
There has, for soo many years been 1 extra cup-holder advantage for BMWs. All of there cup-holders can individually be heated or cooled. No need to share your drink preferance with anyone else...
I came from the GLS and went into an x7 m60i. The Benz felt cheap inside, whereas the BMW felt like good quality. Speed-wise, the BMW, hands down, room-wise, with five kids, feels roomier with the x7. The only thing I miss from the GLS is the customization on the display and the little bit of extra ambient lighting in the front cabin; however, I have the executive package on the x7, and the ambient lighting in the panoramic roof is way better. Overall, the x7 feels more luxurious and comfortable. I would not go back to the glass.
I wouldn't say MB is crushing it with interior lighting. It's way too much and gaudy. I like ambient lighting a lot, but not to strip club levels. BMW's is perfect.
We have the 2019 x7 40i with the keyless for four doors and without a GPF it pops and bang sometimes. I think lack of some specs is due too chip shortage

For common man Honda piolet elite with 8 seats is more than enough. Maintaining bmw and Benz is expensive and depreciates fast.
Btw it has amg floor mats because the gls is configured with the amg appearance package
To me the X7 looks so much better inside and out. BMW all day.
Definitely not inside with those screens
@@heinman6250Also, definitely not outside with that front end.
