My family owns one a xDrive40i, great car. I can agree with Paul that the 23s can ruin the ride comfort a bit, But it all depends on the road conditions from where you live. However they look better than all the other rims (imo). Other than that, quiet, smooth, comfortable great family suv. One downside is the digital climate controls, but you can get used to them.
Hi Paul. Great review. I pick up my new X7 tomorrow. I am sticking with the 22” wheels and after watching this review i glad i did. Previously owned a GLS so it will be interesting to comparison the two.
Hey Paul, thanks for the review. This X7 is impressive, I agree with you on the 23s I think they are not ideal, but they look great. I'm a BMW guy, however I think the GLS is also a fantastic car and a comparison of the two would be great. Next, you need to bring us the BMW i7 and 7 Series.
I don’t understand why they keep putting larger and larger wheels. The 22inch wheel and tyre got damaged after my bmw treaded a small pod hole at high speed.
Hi Paul I sold 2021 BMW X7 last year, this LCI x7 only use one word to describe. RIDICULOUS overpriced. The resale will give you a HEART ATTACK as well.
Hi Paul Yes I have bought one of these 40D with Msport pro and Connesiuer package. Tyres are 22inch. To be honest with you I found the rude extremely comfortable and quiet. Mindful that BMW'S are Ultimate Driving Machines.
Interesting that you speak of some dimensions in inches. Not sure if you know we went to decimal in 1966. It might be helpful if you also did it in fathoms,cubits, yards, perches and furlongs to make it clearer.
I have the 2023 x7m50i 22inch wheels for a good two years now. Already incurred two huge repair cost , because the vehicle ran over pothole twice. Had to change two of my new left side tires twice had to completely change and buy new two suspension. Suspension on X7 is defective and wrongly Engineered. Got stranded on the middle of the highway twice. Even though the problems , I have to say that I absolutely love the engine, mainly the Technology of User interface. Road Assistant driving is the 2nd best in the business after Tesla. The interior space amazing and spacious for driver and passengers
You say that you have incurred huge repair costs "because the VEHICLE ran over pothole twice" but I think that you will find that YOU drove the vehicle over potholes twice!!
Have always been so curious about this model and keen. Can’t wait to finally sit now watch the review. Coming from you, Paul and team, I know it will be amazing, so thank you in advance 🙏🏻
The first batch of F150 vehicles officially imported by Ford Australia, are now in Australia, and getting converted to RHD. Customer deliveries are meant to begin as of approx August 2023.
Why all the car reviewers just don’t care about the central control wheel?! Paul did not even mention that it was possible to access the climate control using the wheel while driving! Which in essence is so much more convenient and safer than tryin to reach out the screen?!!! Could you please explain to me the factual disadvantage of the control wheel when your are driving 30 mph in Sidney traffic please?!!
@@EastWood2004 how much attention does it take you to remain nicely seated and glance over to the left as you pull the cursor down once and tthen twice to the left. Instead you will reach, try to hit the right button then click click click until you reach your desired temperature all the while reaching out to something directly left of your sight.
It's ironic that the defining feature of the original iDrive system is now virtually ignored by testers because "touchscreen". I for one am glad it still exists. (And don't mention voice control as an option because it NEVER EVER works consistently.)
Hi Paul, excellent review but may I request something? Could you do the new X1 from BMW due to it being in high demand and I'm wanting to buy it. I've seen to many reviews but nothing like your reviews. Most are only positives and no negatives and build quality and only some are in Australia. Thanks Mate!
in new BMWs the way to get around the auto start stop is leave the car set in sport + or leaving the transmission in S then the engine won't shut off at low speed
@@CarExpertAusI know it’s a year later but I’m not aware of any mild hybrid system that has a stop start off feature. The whole point is that mild hybrids are so quick to restart they don’t need it (or usually some form of sport mode keeps the engine running). At least that’s the case with all our cars at work, BMW, Volvo, VW etc.
$95k for a Mazda! I’m sure it’s a nice car but damn that’s a step up in price. They could’ve gone up by 1/2 a step until people got used to the idea of Mazda being a “premium” brand. For that money I’d prefer a Model Y LR.
Great job as usual Paul. The plastic bracket supporting the left side of the LCD screen is such an eye sore and a complete afterthought. It looks horrible for a $160 grand plus SUV.
I'm in FNQ. I like this new iteration of the X7, but unfortunately no ventilated seats, not even as an option.. A definite No-no... especially once you've enjoyed it..!! I was interested in the 60i..!! I guess I prefer the GV80..!!
As a chauffeur, I have to mount my phone - I wish cars had a nice big dedicated spot on the dash for a phone - it's tedious finding the best mount every time I replace my car.
When don't have a car but still watch car reviews.
Lol awe 😂
Wow I didn't expect this X7 to impress me this much,it's such an amazing car in every category.

Camera work in your videos is just amazing. Great review!
Thank you for the autonomous Driver Aids segment of your car reviews! Much needed-
5.4 secs 0-100 is pretty impressive for such a big vehicle!
Thanks Paul, always nice to watch your reviews.
From Cape Town 🇿🇦
Same country, here, but from Potchefstroom.
From Johannesburg
Hi Paul. Great review. I pick up my new X7 tomorrow. I am sticking with the 22” wheels and after watching this review i glad i did. Previously owned a GLS so it will be interesting to comparison the two.
How do they compare man?
What's the verdict?
What was the verdict ?
Nice review as always. Could you please review the 2023 XC90 volvo
$170k? Still 40k shy of a Toyota Camry in Singapore 😂😂
different currencies.
The best X7 review ever …
Very detailed !!!
Absolutely stunning!
Now please do the X1 Msport20i
Yes, something we can afford.
Are wheel sizes going to keep getting bigger and bigger?
Me watching this with 0 balance in my bank account
Hey Paul, thanks for the review. This X7 is impressive, I agree with you on the 23s I think they are not ideal, but they look great. I'm a BMW guy, however I think the GLS is also a fantastic car and a comparison of the two would be great. Next, you need to bring us the BMW i7 and 7 Series.
Please review the Lexus LX
Yanga thixo woxolo anga nawe
What about the Toyota LC300 and Lexus LX500 +600 ???
Great review. Could you test the 530d. Fascinating to see what that engine in a car rather than SUV is like on a country run.
Hi Paul, I wanted to thank you personally for reviewing the Civic Type R and the BMW X7. love ya 😉
I don’t understand why they keep putting larger and larger wheels.
The 22inch wheel and tyre got damaged after my bmw treaded a small pod hole at high speed.
Hi Paul
I sold 2021 BMW X7 last year, this LCI x7 only use one word to describe. RIDICULOUS overpriced. The resale will give you a HEART ATTACK as well.
That’s why we wait till bmw offers big discount. 😊
Space saver wheel with that 3rd row is impressive
Hi Paul
Yes I have bought one of these 40D with Msport pro and Connesiuer package. Tyres are 22inch. To be honest with you I found the rude extremely comfortable and quiet. Mindful that BMW'S are Ultimate Driving Machines.
Sorry I mean Ride not rude. Typo error
Diesels are torque monsters
From Australia to south Africa hashtag fun reviews ❤
Front looked better before. Great review as always Paul. Happy Easter.
Very nice design 👌 👍 but the price it's in a different planet 😉 😀
Can you review bmw m340i & m550i?
Good review Paul. Now do videos on GLS and Audi Q7 please
love these videos but an idea would be used cars and reliability???
@@chucknorris8704 That era was the dark period for bmw.
On these days bmw is more reliable than most brands.
Interesting that you speak of some dimensions in inches. Not sure if you know we went to decimal in 1966. It might be helpful if you also did it in fathoms,cubits, yards, perches and furlongs to make it clearer.
Another wicked review, thank you 🙏
hopefully you can get the car back. bmw should realise the popularity of your channel and your reputation so shouldn't be a problem.
I'm always shocked by the prices, I live in a bubble 😅.
Bu arabanın Türkiye fiyatı 13 milyon🥺🙋🏻♂️🇹🇷
I have yet to see a review where the Digital Key ( using an iPhone) is mentioned.
Please review Toyota Alphard

Been waiting for a long time for this review..
Great review. A big hi from Mumbai.
Interior colour is beautiful 😊
I have a 2019 X7 30d M pack. Love it. Not loving the new shape to be honest.
I would love to know how the X7M60I goes. if you want true luxury then the alpena is probably the best option from BMW.
Please review Haval tank 300
Could you plz do a review of the Ford f-150
The first batch of F150 vehicles officially imported by Ford Australia, are now in Australia, and getting converted to RHD.
Customer deliveries are meant to begin as of approx August 2023.
Excellent review
This car is so cool with nice review clearly
Can you please add ground clearance of the car in your video.
Thank you
Nice color combination I’m not sure why I don’t have a car 😞
Does this car have heated seats at the back? Didnt see a button when Paul was reviewing the back seats. I am praying that it does.
What a great review, can you review BMW X1 for us please 🙏
Can you do the bmw X2 please 😢
Great video! Detailed and very informative 👌🏾
Thanks for your work and sharing 😊
Comparison between this and the facelifted GLS
I love it even inside
Me too but not a BMW fan.

I wouldn’t dial the rotary to adjust the temp. I have to pay extra attention to read where the cursor is.

Good!
So can we have a review of the VW Atlass Cross?
It's a car I would like to own, the review of CarExpert could help me.
Excellent review. I'm looking forward to see the Mercedes-Benz sedans reviews
What are those annoying flashing lights at the top of the dash?
Not visible to the human eye :-) it's a driver distraction camera.
in new BMWs the way to get around the auto start stop is leave the car set in sport + or leaving the transmission in S then the engine won't shut off at low speed
wow bro looks great
Can you please review the mustang
Swipe down on the info screen, start/stop button is there.
Nup. Isn’t on the X7 xDrive40d at all.
@@CarExpertAusI know it’s a year later but I’m not aware of any mild hybrid system that has a stop start off feature.

What I’d like to know is how fast was the Ranger still travelling at 36.49 m that’s the most overlooked number in brake tests
You should do BMW x740i it sound so much better
Hi Paul!
What color is this X7.
I think its the Dravit Grey
The X5 diesel is probably a better bet
Unless u want / need 7 seats, and a bigger / roomier car in 5 seat mode…
Hi Paul. What is the go with the Lang Lang proving ground? Last thing I heard is it was up for sale again.
Yep. It’s on the market.
$95k for a Mazda! I’m sure it’s a nice car but damn that’s a step up in price. They could’ve gone up by 1/2 a step until people got used to the idea of Mazda being a “premium” brand. For that money I’d prefer a Model Y LR.
Very nice. I love BMW x7. I'd like to buy it. But I dont have much money. Brothers. What do I do.?
Keep dreaming. Dreams are free
This car is so cool
Is the Model Y Performance review coming??
Soon!
Why the price was around 190k at bmw when I chose to build one on the web side …😅
What about Escalade?
No flat folding second row is a major deal breaker.
Trouble with those wheels Paul,is that they are run flats as you know,so those wheels are a much harsher ride.keep the awesome work up 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The 23in tyres are not runflats. Imagine the ride if they were.
23" wheels... Might as well just have train wheels.
Haha yep. They're crazy....but look good
That's very annoying that they removed the stop/start button! I Googled - aside from coding it, Sports Mode apparently also disables it.
The X5 is still the best BMW SUV…..yes the X7 is huge with extra seats but NAH.
Great job as usual Paul. The plastic bracket supporting the left side of the LCD screen is such an eye sore and a complete afterthought. It looks horrible for a $160 grand plus SUV.
Still touching everything, you know it’s ok to point at something. Please try it. Thanks.
Where's the off-road test of the X7?
I'd hate to own it when all the electronics start failing. Everything is electronic in this.
I'm in FNQ. I like this new iteration of the X7, but unfortunately no ventilated seats, not even as an option.. A definite No-no... especially once you've enjoyed it..!! I was interested in the 60i..!! I guess I prefer the GV80..!!
How come you can't see that the natural competition for the X7 are Audi Q7, MB GL* and the new Mazda CX90
Day 2 of asking can you review the Chevy Traverse Pls ??
We don’t get this vehicle in Australia
Why didn't you review the same thing like you did with Toyota SUVs?
3:23 that's a lot of storage
It's not big enough you get more room from a telluride or Honda pilot
Can you please review a rolls Royce if you can?
Also similar to the Lexus LX
Ok!🥰
Styling is for China and if anyone else happens to like it then that's a bonus.
47% of these are sold to Americans - the biggest market. The front is to natch the hideous 7 series electric bs
Christiansen Freeway
Was expecting 7 seat, not 6. Nice but not for the price.
Pretty sure 6 seat is like the same price
Won’t the Range Rover count as a competitor?
All new model RR as a 7 seater would start at (well) over $ 200 k.
Entry level is enough. I will get a Mustang if I want a V8.
170k forget it
I couldn't buy a car that you can't switch the stop/start off . It's a pain in the arse when you forget to turn it off.
Unless you're changing your phone just leave it in your pocket, a 80 series had a split fold tailgate in the 90s
Not any more, Toyota cheaped out 😂
As a chauffeur, I have to mount my phone - I wish cars had a nice big dedicated spot on the dash for a phone - it's tedious finding the best mount every time I replace my car.
I think bmw has jumped ahead of mercedes
