The first impression in pictures of the car was disappointing, in real life it looks much better. I also had this feeling with the new M4 and M3, until you see them in real life.
This is a monster. I’m not much of a big grill fan but the big grills looks good on this one. The interior colour combination is good! Definitely wanna see this beauty in IRL.
I cannot even imagine either, would probably look super nice with a smaller grill. I mean come on thats just absurdly big contrast for the sleek headlights. Kinda like duckface botox lips on an otherwise perfect girl :) Edit: Ok maybe if they used a black chrome grill it would actually be really good.

I do inspections at BMW spartanburg south Carolina. I'm actually employed by magna mirrors and we make the sideview mirrors for BMW. We only make the BMW SUV's in the spartanburg sc location. No sedans. These cars are absolutely beautiful coming down the line .
13:50 that's typical Autobahn Germany, driving 185 while a car is in front of you driving the same speed and a car on the right doing 160. It's impossible to see that in any other country.
Even if Max were to review the W12 Touareg today, people on the internet would still say that he should have tested some other car, with some other engine, with some other gearbox, etc, etc, etc... This is the consistent and persistent phenomenon on the comments of each and every car review video, including this one.
"This isn't a BMW...Alpina is a car manufacturer." Umm, no. That car rolled off BMW's production line in Spartanburg, SC USA as a fully-formed XB7. To Alpina's specs and with a fair bit of Alpina-designed and built parts, yes - but BMW made the car.
....all good...but...owners of Alpina company never wanted make cars like SUVs....market demand has been pushing them....and profit margin is what decides...so they do their best.... the exhaust note is ridiculously stupid for such majestic cruiser...should be silent like purring cat...
I'm wondering if I am the only one who has problem about loading videos on this channel. ok I know that I dont have the best internet connection but.. what quality videos you upload 10bit?
dam dude. do you have a better camera? one that doesn't circles the images? that makes me dizzy. I've seen good cameras for like $150 maybe would be a good investment for you
I thought the Bowers & Wilkins sound system was standard on the Alpine XB7. This is the first video of an XB7 I've seen that did not contain the Bowers & Wilkins sound system, of course the other videos were made in the USA, so maybe that is a factor?
I think Alpina did quite a lame job on XB7 compared with other Alpina models. For the exterior, they just stick the Alpina spoiler to the already complex BMW bumper without any aesthetic treatment, rendering it trivial and redundant. The high gloss body trims look weird with the matte finish wheels. It lacks the integrity seen on B7 and B8. For the interior, it is just an X7 with an additional badge. Bring Back the Alpina Blue & Green Check on Armrests and Seats!!!
2022 xb7 probably best SUV in the market even in 2024 for it's money much better than GLS the only thing abt them they need to change DASHBOARD design & change leather to Alcantara
Solid car, the only downside, from my point of view, is the fake engine noise coming from the speakers. I think is the worst from any Alpina car. Sounds like a '90s nintendo game :)).
the man does not have "taste" the man is rich :)))) and that's not a family car...that's an "look at me im so rich" car.......i think u missunderstood what family car means :)))),
Really nice car with suprisingly nice sound. Normaly i don't like the sound of the 4l v8biturbo from audi/merc or this 4.4l biturbo. Alpina did really well.
what a bool shit car is this. if we hawe this, then we do not need normal 7 any more. if ewerybody driwes suv u are forced to buy x7. i like bmw, i hawe one. but this x7 is usles car. than i rether hawe mercedes v class.

In the real life, the X7 looks really cool. It's a monster, very big Suv.
I agree with ya mate
Have you seen the front, it;s ugly as f**k.
@@damnbadger8242 not in real life. Looks like an american car.
He has a lot of charisma. It is so big that we do not notice that the grids are big.

Seen a couple of regular x7s around so far but this is just levels up from it somehow
"Alpina is a car manufacturer, this is not a BMW", and then opens the bonet, BMW engine, opens the doors, BMW everywhere.

Same thing happened with me with the rsq8 i didn't like it in the beginning until i see it in real life
I saw both new M3 and M4 and i still cant get over that massive fugly grill, on X7 I dont mind, it's already a big car, SUV better said
I saw one, and I almost puked. I prayed to God that the owner changes that front end.
Nah sorry, it sort of/kind of works on the X7, but the 4-Series and M3 both look absolutely horrible, even in real life.
This is a monster. I’m not much of a big grill fan but the big grills looks good on this one. The interior colour combination is good! Definitely wanna see this beauty in IRL.
Oof so you are one of those bmw haters again huh ?
This alpine seems like a ripoff new turbos better cooling only 100hp
saw a few in real life. They're really huge, and they do look great with the big kidney grills. Cant imagine a small grill on a car like this.
I cannot even imagine either, would probably look super nice with a smaller grill. I mean come on thats just absurdly big contrast for the sleek headlights. Kinda like duckface botox lips on an otherwise perfect girl :)
Edit: Ok maybe if they used a black chrome grill it would actually be really good.
For a big "panzerwagen " it's impressive to +180kmh to 260kmh

this films make me aware how poor i am
You can also order paddle shifters, if you want them😉
Love the platform of this XB7, and the engine to front axle placement, as well as the uncommon front wheel well vents.

Ja those Sunday riders…..
When are you guys gonna test a Touareg withe the 6.0 W12 engine ? Cuz that would be pretty cool tbh =)))

I absolutely love it, I work in personal security and I can’t think of a better car unless you need bulletproof
you've heard of volvo?
@@eeeins yep, I’m Swedish so yes I have. Jättebra bilar absolut
In what region of germany are you at?because in the north parth the autobahn is limited almost everywhere because road working,"STAU" everywhere

you have to see the x7 in real life to rate it. It looks so much better in real life, its so huge
How do the BMW Individual Colors work? I mean, did BMW pay Lamborghini for the rights to use that paint? I've also seen a Ferrari red BMW 4 series.

Hey do u check roman performance m8 Gran coupe and check SUV what they done is shock.
"SUV" that has as much ground clearance as a Golf
MOVE peasants!!! 😂
"THIS IS NOT BMW IT'S ALPINA..."
BMW logo 👀
On the hood and trunc all alpinas came with them.
Alpina is just a tunner

Audi lags behind on BMW and Merc.
Not nice to be the wallet😖when the 23" rubber💸 needs to be renewed!
dam dude. do you have a better camera? one that doesn't circles the images? that makes me dizzy. I've seen good cameras for like $150 maybe would be a good investment for you
I was going to say the same thing. He needs to use a camera that does NOT have a wide angle lens. This lens is distorting the image big time.
All those options, all that horsepower, no Bowers and Wilkins sound system :( Such a shame for such a car...
I thought the Bowers & Wilkins sound system was standard on the Alpine XB7. This is the first video of an XB7 I've seen that did not contain the Bowers & Wilkins sound system, of course the other videos were made in the USA, so maybe that is a factor?
CLOSE THE FUCKING DOOR WHEN YOU GET IN!!!!!
This is my favourite 3 row premium suv
This is a wolf with a sheep clothing!! 🙂
BRUH! That is a nice-ass ride. But, what the hell is with the car sounding like in Gran Turismo when he rides it over 200 km/h xD
Pls do a review on the new Maybach GLS
Hey Max, how are you?
Im suprised Alpina didn't make an XB6 before this
XB5 better I think
I love aftermarket SUVs: Brabus, Alpina, Gembella, even that Cayenne that Ruf made.
I think Alpina did quite a lame job on XB7 compared with other Alpina models. For the exterior, they just stick the Alpina spoiler to the already complex BMW bumper without any aesthetic treatment, rendering it trivial and redundant. The high gloss body trims look weird with the matte finish wheels. It lacks the integrity seen on B7 and B8. For the interior, it is just an X7 with an additional badge. Bring Back the Alpina Blue & Green Check on Armrests and Seats!!!
I agree, interior wise they didn’t do anything.
I've seen one a couple of weeks ago... It's even more impressive irl, a 3 series is so small compared to that tank
Bigger than the X6?
@@Alejandrososa619 very much
it does have a presence on the road
Neden TÜRKÇE açıklama yok?? | Why is there no TURKISH explanation??
Looks nice but sounds idiotic
Agree. The fake engine sound is not great.
It's not alpina. its damn BMW
Andreas doesn‘t only have taste, he‘s also got money.
My favourite SUV
2022 xb7 probably best SUV in the market even in 2024 for it's money much better than GLS the only thing abt them they need to change DASHBOARD design & change leather to Alcantara
an there are people who buy tesla elektrto shit when you can own this beauty
That's BMW, not Alpina
Silly boy
Solid car, the only downside, from my point of view, is the fake engine noise coming from the speakers. I think is the worst from any Alpina car. Sounds like a '90s nintendo game :)).
My family and me we went to a road trip with 7passengers it was the best travel ever
Sounds horrible inside
The Speaker Sound sounds a bit wierd I think🤔
Where is the iconic entro?
the man does not have "taste" the man is rich :)))) and that's not a family car...that's an "look at me im so rich" car.......i think u missunderstood what family car means :)))),
Gls is better
Hideous car. 23 inch wheels are ridiculous and the engine sounds like an old need for speed game (piped in??). Needs a large v8 or v10 minimum.
B o m b e r . . .👊
From 100-200 km/h has a nice thrust, but at high speed sleeps a little because of the characteristics of the exterior🏇👍
Well said 👍🏻
Alpina... The BRABUS of BMW
So its V8, but sounds like like Nissan Micra?? These modern BMWs are SO awfull.
15:23 Great observation and thinking . . .👍
I Have The Porsche carrera 4 GTS @
God imagine if bmw brought back an Alpina z8
Why does an SUV this expensive has the ugly steering wheel from the cheapest new bmw? At least they could have put a better one. This one’s 🤮
Really nice car with suprisingly nice sound. Normaly i don't like the sound of the 4l v8biturbo from audi/merc or this 4.4l biturbo. Alpina did really well.
Sounds like a fart can
Nice family car, by the way how much does it cost to constantly clean the car when kids behind keep throwing up?
I WHANT ONE BUT SEDAN VERSION. I WISH THEY HURRY UP AND MAKE NEW (RESTILE)
BMW B550i ALPINA
what a bool shit car is this. if we hawe this, then we do not need normal 7 any more. if ewerybody driwes suv u are forced to buy x7. i like bmw, i hawe one. but this x7 is usles car. than i rether hawe mercedes v class.
Yea, Familly car bruh
From India ❤️
What the difrend between alpina & bmw?
Dno if thats even compareable but i like the RSQ8 better if thats even a proper counterpart to the XB7
grill looks like shit, the bmw grill designer needs to be replaced.. i would take any german car over bmw
Does the owner need to compensate for anything? An abysmal void in his pants probably.
Ugly tank.
There is only one in sri lanka X7 40i . Its realy big🇱🇰😍
Jesus christ... It's sound like gran tursimo sounds... Yuck!
Beautiful vehicle, the only X7 I would take!
Hello from Russia
There is a brand new blue Alpina XB7 here in Toronto and it is STUNNING!
looking at new wheels, Alpina XB7 of GLS 63 AMG?
Funfact the original chassi-number gets deleted and Alpina will give them a new one
There's the alpina logo everywhere.... Not on the car though... Hahaha
Which one has the better sound, this one or the GLS63?
GLS63 by far, the fake sound is disgusting in this thing
The grille works well on SUVs but not sedans
that's not a fucking SUV, it's a large estate
honestly whats the point
Wil even zeggen. Hoewel je accent echt te nederlands is. Maak je goede content, ga zo door!
an alpina without bowers seems kinda crazy
Most fast house
dream
Sorry but this car with this big grill and wheels looks like a old steam engine train
Guys, could you please review the LCI one
15:30 pretty mature driver. I've seen doing this pretty often.
Never understood why BMW never offered an M7, when Audi has an S8 and Mercedes has the S63/S65. Feels like they're giving up part of the market.
M760 maybe?
Crazy how fast and easily it pulls to 180mph definitely has more room up top !
Bugs Bunny 🐭,que c'est laid, à gerber 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Love the vehicle, do not like the camera on the hat, too many weird angles.
I drove past an X7 in my van earlier and felt small🤣
Sorry, but Alpina is a tuned BMW by Alpina.
