With BMW saying it´s 4.4 sec, I highly doubt that performance. Sure, sometime cars are quicker than manufacturer information, bt not half a second and this with winter tyres on a wet road. I just don´t buy that. Awesome car nontheless tho, I would be happy with 4.4 secs haha
Great review as usual Matt! This car is MASSIVE! However,this new touch control trend is a real let down. You have to leave your eyes off the road for such a long time just to adjust the temperature of the car and all. Manufacturers must get rid of this and give us back physical button so we can adjust things on the fly, without even looking at the button (provided we remember the button layout though)
It was an amazing review, mat. It would be more helpful if you could tell the better alternative options of x7 in the final verdict as you said to shortlist it!

X7 is amazing, even the 40i version hustles, and with no 3rd row option on the new X5 builds it's the only 7 seater from BMW. The new iDrive layout is complicated because of a lack of buttons but the excellent voice recognition means you can just say "Hello BMW" to access most of the functionality.
People say they don’t like this design, I really really like it. I hope they keep the old design for the 5 series and X5. But for the 7 series and x7 this makes much more sense.looks Way more up market as it should be and not just a bigger x5.
I bet that they want to differentiate it but the headlights design looks way too Hyundai Kona-esque which is one of the ugliest cars I’ve seen in person
Good review, i dont really like the split headlights not on the x7 and the 7. The big screens on the inside are a no for me , to bad that they do it on all the models now 😕. physical buttons are in some ways just better, climate etc.
I've seen a lot of X7s where I am. Has road presence but the Merc GLS is the one that stands out. That thing is a beast. Still prefer a fast estate - RS6 one day.

Nice review but do you realise those 'pop up banners' you keep referring to never show up for we folks that add adblock to our browsers. Best to provide links in the 'more' listing of the video. 👍
I couldn't wait for your review Matt (great as usual) and had to order several months ago. Now I can't wait to get my ... I mean the wife's, X7 M60i: British Racing Green, with full Tartufo leather, 6 seater 😁. In production this week, then only another couple of months to Australia, but who's counting!
Probably a great car ! Bland styling. Looks a bit like Hyundai Kona or Skoda Kamiq from front. Range Rover has sheer presence unlike anything else on the road.
Beautiful car. I am mainly impressed by the V8 (the M type with 530 hp) and by the quality of the interior (seats, displays, .....) . i think that this M 60 i is the only one that can be compared to the RANGE ROVER .
Always been curious about 7 seaters. Why doesn’t it sit 3 people at the back instead of two? Is the car less wide at the back? I’m really cracking my brain over this😂
Im sorry but if you prefer this this split headlight design that they took from a damn Citroen Cactus you need to get your eyes checked... And that includes you MAT
The new Range Rover is gorgeous but I do think if it was my money I'd have to take the peace of mind and get this instead...also as many have already mentioned the split headlight design really works here in a way it doesn't quite on the 7 series
Owned a pre-face M50i and I can confirm the engine in these things is insane. The way it handles is insane. I genuinely miss that car every day. I saw a carwow comment, what's best? The X7, GLS, or Q7... Lol. Not even close. The X7 is miles ahead. It's a shame they've skipped out on some of the quality materials on the facelift. But once the deals come back the X7 is well and truly on the shortlist.
I enjoyed the video immensely, and I am seriously considering the X7 M60 as my (purchased not leased) next daily driving family car. We have a small family of myself, my wife and our 12-year-old daughter and so we don’t need the third row, however, I like the look of this model much better than the X5 but appreciate the affordability of the X5. Your thoughts would be extremely appreciated regarding the X7, versus the X5, and any other models out there that you have reviewed etc (even a different brand), but similar price point, etc. Thank you again and I am a new subscriber great video.

I actually think the design on 7 series is quite interesting and set apart from all the other cars.
Previous X7 had an enormous "get out of the way peasants" presence on the road. This one not so much.

I love the current videos as they are all filmed in the villages around me!
Took me a while but I like that new front design.
Yep. The front end design kinda similar to even Lotus Emira imo.
That's just your brain tricking you into getting used to it
I saw my first G70 7 Series the other day. It had one of the two-tone paints and it looked really good.
id be curious to see how this m60i compares to the gls 580 of similar spec
Who cares about the seatbelts on the 3rd row, nobody would use them anyways
I didn't see anyone family suv , who have a launch 0-60 3,91 seconds, it's really cool BMW RESPECT YOU
Nice review but do you realise those 'pop up banners' you keep referring to never show up for we folks that add adblock to our browsers.
Best to provide links in the 'more' listing of the video. 👍
The BMX X7 is a sporty 7-seater!
Stating the obvious
I couldn't wait for your review Matt (great as usual) and had to order several months ago. Now I can't wait to get my ... I mean the wife's, X7 M60i: British Racing Green, with full Tartufo leather, 6 seater 😁. In production this week, then only another couple of months to Australia, but who's counting!
Hi, do you have any issues with the A/C system being weak on the X7?. Which model year do you have?. Thanks.
M60i, no A/C issues ... other than having to push umpteen buttons on iDrive8! Can't wait for iDrive8.5 upgrade
@@pgekas thanks. Were you able to test it this past summer in a very hot climate?
nothing over about 35C
Probably a great car ! Bland styling. Looks a bit like Hyundai Kona or Skoda Kamiq from front. Range Rover has sheer presence unlike anything else on the road.
And offroad too
Agree, it’s Korean styling and cheap looking interior, it can’t touch a Range Rover in any department.
@@apanda1662 Range Rover is a king of the garage
I wonder if you could fold the rear seats 💺 from drivers position and not having to get out of the car to do it from the trunk?
Headlights design like on Citroën C4 Grand SpaceTourer :D
Beautiful car. I am mainly impressed by the V8 (the M type with 530 hp) and by the quality of the interior (seats, displays, .....) . i think that this M 60 i is the only one that can be compared to the RANGE ROVER .
Always been curious about 7 seaters. Why doesn’t it sit 3 people at the back instead of two? Is the car less wide at the back?
I’m really cracking my brain over this😂
Yes the car is less wide on the third row because of the wheel wells 😅
Usually it’s narrower in the back because of the wheels (and all the suspension and other stuff in the area)
The rear wheels rob 3rd row space.
8 seater nit 7 seater
Its not the case for all crossovers . Alot of crossovers like the honda pilot and kia telluride have 3 seat third rows
Im sorry but if you prefer this this split headlight design that they took from a damn Citroen Cactus you need to get your eyes checked...
And that includes you MAT
What exterior colour is this?
Do a video comapring the X7, GLS and Q7 (all new versions) pls
What a machine this is - all the car anyone needs !
I read this automatically in Jeremy's voice.
beautiful is a strong word mat
In a different league compared to a Range Rover.
5:23 split folding tailgate is always cool like a Smart Fortwo lol
i like how the name of the video was “The size doest matter” hahaha
The new Range Rover is gorgeous but I do think if it was my money I'd have to take the peace of mind and get this instead...also as many have already mentioned the split headlight design really works here in a way it doesn't quite on the 7 series
It's not so bad, it's only the 2nd ugliest thing to ever exist
The ugliest is the 7 series.
I'd say is closer ro the 4th. 2nd being the M3, 3rd is the entire 4 series lineup.
Did they just steal the Hyundai Santa Fe looks?
Which version of the XM?? 😅
10:07
When s63 e performance?
Are you gonna review The new Mazda cx-60?
Owned a pre-face M50i and I can confirm the engine in these things is insane. The way it handles is insane. I genuinely miss that car every day. I saw a carwow comment, what's best? The X7, GLS, or Q7... Lol. Not even close. The X7 is miles ahead. It's a shame they've skipped out on some of the quality materials on the facelift. But once the deals come back the X7 is well and truly on the shortlist.
Was the actual price mentioned in the video or did they avoid it on purpose?!?
No thoughts in the dash with the big screen. So much better integrated but can’t see them go back
Where is the all terrain response???
Best SUV on the market and considering BMW's recent reliability, I'm in love with it.
I enjoyed the video immensely, and I am seriously considering the X7 M60 as my (purchased not leased) next daily driving family car. We have a small family of myself, my wife and our 12-year-old daughter and so we don’t need the third row, however, I like the look of this model much better than the X5 but appreciate the affordability of the X5. Your thoughts would be extremely appreciated regarding the X7, versus the X5, and any other models out there that you have reviewed etc (even a different brand), but similar price point, etc. Thank you again and I am a new subscriber great video.
Watched both this X7 and Ioniq6 reviews back to back. One car stood out as value for money. Civic eHEV, the crew car ;)
Looks better than the current horrendous design
Is the audio a bit off in this video?
