My friend has GLS and I have X7. I have driven both cars. GLS interior look cool but the materials are not as high quality as BMW. The build quality in BMW x7 is much better than GLS. There's no rattle or weird noises in the x7. But in the MB, there are creaks and rattles. The wood creaks a lot in the GLS... It's not acceptable for how much the car costs. Overall, I went for the X7 because there is a big difference in build quality... IN terms of driving, I can't give it to GLS neither since X7 is much more luxurious feeling than x5, it is not just a bigger x5. For most of my time in the X7 i feel like i'm gliding on ice... so damn smooth. So whatever GLS can do in comfort, the x7 is the same. That aside, in terms of handling, x7 clear winner. In terms of stereo, at stock, 1st level upgrade 2nd level upgrade, music sounds better in x7 no matter what level of stereo you have. And no I am not bmw biased since my last car was a GLE. Trust me, while interior might look cooler in the GLS now, the build quality is not there... And lastly, space. Yes, GLS wins. But in terms of how quiet it is in the car, the x7 is closer to Bentley level than the GLS.
@@patrickamponsah679 More expensive for a reason? Lol what. That doesn’t make one better than the other. Example the M4 GTS is super over priced, cost more than the M8, but what makes the M4 GTS better than an M8? M8 is faster to 60 and the quarter mile, on the track, more luxurious, more equipment.. (example)
The main category where Merc beats the bimmer is storage. A lot of people will only need the second row for their kids. Families that desperately need a third row will opt for an Odyssey. Lower the third row in the bimmer and you've got plenty of room. So, looking past storage, X7 is a better car imo. Interior looks better. Crystal dial and shifter are stunning. Soft leather. Nicer ambient night interior night lighting imo.
You can get the X7 in a bright, shiny, sparkling pink (or yellow, or green or a mix of them all), if you want to - from the factory. You just have to pay for it...
Why is it that every time I look at a video comparison including a Mercedes it has a dark interior. Mercedes needs to get over these dark Interiors. Even on the dealer lot most vehicles come with dark Interiors. They're boring and a mood killer.
The X7 M50i isn’t a real M vehicle. It’s an M Sport model. So no, it doesn’t compete with GLS63, which is a true AMG product. Now if you wanted to compare the GLS63, maybe the Alpina XB7 is a better match, although that model still isn’t a X7M.
Are you guys been sarcastic about the shifter? That thing shines into your face and becomes a hazard to driving as per another RUclips channel. I guess reviews are just a praise of it all.

tested the x7 today drives like a dream very smooth
The X7 looks better, drives better and is more luxurious and cheaper. So its the winner
After having a gl 63 and now a x7 m50i, I must say the x7 is a beautiful, elegant car that is great for families and racing!
Not even 2 minutes in and you can already see that the MB interior quality and materials look cheap and plain compared to the BMW.
How? The Gls is more expensive for a reason.
@@patrickamponsah679 oh shut up.
@@NightRunnersPerformance yooo stop fighting over a car, they’re both great cars, some have greater things compared to others but they’re both good

X7 all the way. Also your torque specs are incorrect. The M50i has 553 lb-ft not 479 verbally stated and in your graphic.
I love my X7 M50i.
X7 hands down 👌
BMW has my vote.

So you can’t put all seats down in the bmw x7
For both models, about the maintenance which one more expensive?
Also, you can get the MB in a lovely hyacinth red while BMW mostly comes in boring colours if you don't like blue
You can get the X7 in a bright, shiny, sparkling pink (or yellow, or green or a mix of them all), if you want to - from the factory. You just have to pay for it...
This guy has an uncanny resemblance to the guy from "love it or list it"
Is that the guy from Love It Or List It?
Well, these cars are as expensive as some of those renos...
x7m50i is the best
GLS is literally a very nice minivan here, BMW on the other hand looks more like a SUV. Which isn’t much better/different in a nutshell 😊
Why is it that every time I look at a video comparison including a Mercedes it has a dark interior. Mercedes needs to get over these dark Interiors. Even on the dealer lot most vehicles come with dark Interiors. They're boring and a mood killer.
Totally agree.
The interior color is optional, my father put beige and white
The boring dark interiors are best sellers for families with young children.
@@BryceLarenz yes that is true🤔
These are NOT the "defacto flagships" of either company. Not even close. They would be M760Li and Mercedes S class! That aside, nice review.
This both Benz and BMW fans agree lol
X7 won
The Mercedes got 2 compliments if that and won the comparison??? Seriously?? Wow.
I wish they actually got into the 3rd row because x7 is actually better in the the third row than the GLS
bmw x7 is the best
it's wrong 😡
it must be x7 m50i vs gls63 amg
The X7 M50i isn’t a real M vehicle. It’s an M Sport model. So no, it doesn’t compete with GLS63, which is a true AMG product.

X7 is King
Gls👌👌
The BMW X7 M50i is nicer looking and guys can actually drive it. The GLS looks like a ladies vehicle.
all the way through the video. The BMW is better at this, the BMW is better at that. The end of video: "The Mercedes wins" LOL
Oh, and I feel like they were paid by BMW to say that the x7 is better, which in my opinion is false
They literally said the opposite of that but i still think the x7 is much more elegant than its competitor
the gls is so cheap and horrible
Wtf??
Why horrible

The Mercedes is WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY better than the BMW Nostril 7
