Alpina XB7: hold my kids inheritance
😂
It's amazing how even the 3rd row is so well equipped. Well done BMW!
I love the ALPINA on the front grill def one of my fav parts
Hey Miles, the BMW X7 is built at the BMW Group Assembly Plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. All X7's tagged for the Alpina treatment are shipped to Germany where the Alpina spec drivetrain and bespoke interior trim are hand assembled. Special colors, materials, and trim details are available upon request. As a family-owned performance specialty manufacturer, Alpina production was limited by all the hand assembly required for each vehicle. No changes in the current Alpina/BMW agreement until BMW takes full ownership of Alpins in January 2026.
That really helps validate the premium these vehicles command! Thanks, Edd.
Having partially completed BMW X7's factory prepped for shipment from South Carolina to Bavaria, then finished by Alpina - very impressive!@@MilesPerHr
@@MilesPerHrHello
Actually, they are not shipped to Germany. All Alpina components are shipped to Spartanburg. I used to think that, but a number of my friends work at the plant.
Normal BMW X7 M60i with this V8 is quick, but Alpina always takes it up a notch and turns the wick up to 11 👏👏👍👍
I love your videos miles... As usual this was an incredible pov drive review.. But it's been a long since you dropped a pov night drive.. Please keep up that series
I'll be bringing back POV night drives as soon as I can. With 2 young kiddos, I'm usually helping out at home after hours. As the routine improves, I'll be able to make some new Night Drive videos 👍
@@MilesPerHr That is so nice.. Taking care of your family should always be first priority.. Anyway I will be waiting
Now speaking as a Mercedes fan boy as much as I love the gls63amg I would definitely hands down pick the xb7 over it.. that thing is amazing and beautiful at the same BMW did their homework to a T with this one
Alpina has always been on the front spoiler since forever. You should know that. And it looks fantastic if you know what Alpina is, means.
That colour combination of the blue and tanned leather is perfect. But I agree with you. The first thing I would tick on the option list would be model deletion, so only those in the know can tell what you are driving
Way better than the XM
I agree
These headlights can be kinda beautiful,i've seen last gen and this gen up X7 from close and i honestly think new gen is better and more futuristic.
For sure
Massively, insanely so. It’s just such a better, more comprehensive package…bigger. Nicer. More refined. And still less money…
By far
love your videos man,i watched almost all of them,keep it up man!😉
Thanks for the support!
Your videos are so good! Cant get enough
I'm glad you uploaded a new video ❤❤
Bro thanks for closing the doors so we can hear the THUD. SO satisfying. You should do that for every car lol
I do the door close for every car 👍
7:17 "Yet, again, a dark view of my brain." 😂😂😂 The fog is not my favorite. However, living on the coast, it's almost a given. I think it's warmer where you are. I'm north of you. Thanks for the review, Miles!
😂 the fog did lift soon after filming, thankfully!
Great review! The tech demonstrations are a welcome component.
Really dig your review bro.. subbed
I'll probably never feel comfortable paying that much extra for an Alpina. I would be happy enough just with the X7 M60i
This would look great in front of my hypothetical 10m dollar house
meh, i think itd look just as good in front of a 1m dollar house
@@truslowe're on the same page 👏🤝
Even better in front of an apartment building 😭
@@Reesemoneybags agree
Amazing car, just not a big fan of the button shifters. Wonder why they didn’t do the usual paddles
Agreed. Seems to just be an attempt to differentiate, but it makes the experience worse.
Imagine if there was an XBM.😮 This looks brilliant. 👌🏾
Great Review! The performance of this car is incredible considering it's size and I would say, on the most part, the exterior looks good. However I would say that the ALPINA front lip gives it a bit of a minivan-type look, and a lot of people believe the split headlights (on the X7, XB7 and I7) have ruined the traditional head on image of a BMW. Either way, great car and great video.
What’s the maintenance like? I guess it would have to go to a dealership that’s reputable such as BMW how long could this be a class with maintenance kept up?
You asked. Take Caddy V any time. KING OF THE POPS.
Inwatched this video as a comparison to the GLS 63... surely this is the closest rival??
AMAZING CAR 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
hey miles, can you please make an in depth review of the alpina xb7?
XB7.. with extended shadow line trim, black Alpina lettering in the front, debadged and Lavalina leather interior.. 😎
Probably not all these options are available in US.. 🤷♂️
The BMW Alpina XB7 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Miles....is the ride quality better in the XB7 (in comfort plus) than the X7 M60i (in comfort)?
I would choose the alpina B7 over all that you mentioned.
I wish alpina gave those 20 spoke wheels in matt black option
Hi Miles , nice review … the fog start to the video reminds me of my days living in Redwood City , CA the fog was a sight to behold ! As to you r question which three row would I pick …. Well being a ‘ Good Ole ‘ Southern boy … give me Hellcat with gun racks and a Confederate Flag …. Yeee haaaw
you should do the BBT in the video. would be awesome fr
Nice ultimate driving machine
Which was your fav 3row of 23?
Great review! Do you ever come down to SD for reviews?
Only really when I'm attending a first drive program hosted by an automaker
R y’all choosing x7 this or ix Jw y’all?
Hey Miles can you tell bmw to have a random feature for the ambient lighting to show muti colors that'll be awesome. 😊
I watch and I LOVE your videos milesperhr but... can you do a really short video with you honking this car? or next time you make a video do a horn review.
I'd loose the key fob cover very fast lol
Definitely the XB7
@milesper what is faster this or the Escalade V
Needs a hidden wiper better tail lights and camera mirror. The new QX 80Escalade Denali Suburban Chevys even Hyundais have camera mirrors and hidden wipers. Also they need a long version like the Grand Wagoneer thats what familys want.
This the One
I haven't driven any of the SUV's that you mentioned. But... If I had a choice. I'd have to compare 2 directly. I would compare the Range Rover Autobiography to the BMW / ALPINA XB7. It's truly the only proper comparison as far as "Premium Luxury SUV's go.
I think they shouldve given rear ventilated seats
What’s the difference between Alpina, and BMW?
You forgot to mention the MB GLS 63. Overall I love the XB7 but I would get the X7 M60i.
The GLS63 is definitely a consideration. My comparisons don't usually have every option, just a sampling.
We're riding with ya.
👍
I would definitely take this over the Cadillac Escalade V. I can’t say that I’ve ever met an Escalade V owner that I wasn’t annoyed by. I see an Escalade and I just always picture a young blonde trophy wife behind the wheel.
XB7 is my choice
I'm always interested in torque more then hp
hey can you make a video about BMW i7
You didn’t enable Driving Assistant Plus…
Give me a XM label over this any day . The ride is much smoother in the alpina ( which it’s supposed to be) but everything else favors the XM. Interior is way more comfortable in the XM
XP7 all day every day
Escalade V is just that much crazier, and I would choose it over every other SUV you mentioned, but I have to admit this is probably more comfortable and luxurious.
And it's faster too and handles better
I believe all X7s have air suspension as standard.
Hmmm. That key cover would probably get eaten by my dog.
It inhailed the road 😂😂
please take the new range rover sport SV for a test 🙏
Another competitor is the gls63
Красивый цвет это мой любимый цвет ,я хочу тоже BMW икс 6 только синего цвета
alpina xb7
fast and heavy suv, for track
This isn't intended for the track
Sounds like fake engine noise coming out of the loudspeakers. Horrible. Why doesn't Alpina disable that?
Escalade v 4 me the BMW is nice but it kinda blends into background I can't tell the x5 from the x7 if not beside each other the caddy has a personality
Caddy blends in the background imo. It's played out. This is a way better drivers car. While still having better luxury and tech then cadillac
How to WIN if you're BMW: make the IX a convertible and give it eco-premium animal free seats.
Please do a night drive ❤
Alpina looks better!
uhm, i just watched the video and i saw that you did the horn test... sry abotu that
Try it 2025 New Cadillac CT5
I plan to!
@@MilesPerHrl'll
This or the Range Rover for me
Not gona lie if i had dis car i woulda remove these alpina badges and put a normal bmw badge on it
Made in Deutschland!!
Don’t allow USA but alpina
At that price point, I'd pick the Range Rover..
This Alpina is quite impressive but design wise, i prefer the Escalade and the Range Rover more. Nonetheless, the Durango Hellcat is incredibly more fun thanks to its engine and a lot cheaper, it's just not as luxurious. For a family sporty luxurious SUV, i think i'd go for the Escalade. The Range Rover will be all the time at the shop and the design of the XB7 is quite good for a BMW, but not as good looking as a brand new Escalade.
The alpina sedan is better 🔥
No rear door entry sensors.
No rear cooled seats.
Cramped cargo behind the 3rd row.
I'd rather have a tuned Audi SQ7
I believe Jesus is the way to truth to abundant life. Love him with all your heart, seek his truth, call to him for that he would ask the Father to show you wisdom.
Praise hail satan
@@gocars3210 1 Corinthians 13 spoke it said love from God is an agreement to do some things all the time and some things so long as it's not provoked which is not easily accomplished, while unprovoked Love is a kindness that enacts to preserve and protect you and it never lies to you.
I remember one time I had a dream out of the 8,000+ times I've been asleep a dream that has not happened before it has not happened since, and I've had the recipe to make it hundred a days before it happened and hundreds of days after it happened.
I could have dreamed about anything, I dreamed about a dog, which is a symbol of unbelief in the Bible and Jesus part of Matthew 7:6 give not that which is holy unto the dogs, a dog could have done anything it dug a hole, it could have dug any kind of hole, it dug a very deep hole and anything could have been at the bottom of that hole but a few verses in the Bible come to mind and anything could have happened when I climbed out of that hole but part of Romans 10 said that you must believe that Jesus has been raised from the dead to be saved.
In the beginning was the word and the Word was God in the word was with God John 1:1
the word" or the message of God" was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld the glory of the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
Just plastic on the lower part of the door? Seriously BMW?
Yo 4 min ago
*This or a GLS 63 AMG?* 🗿
GLS 63 is tough not to love. I'll be reviewing the refreshed version soon and will have more thoughts
X7 wheels look better than the alpina
I think the GLS 63 is the biggest competitor and is better tbh
Alpina XB7 is probably better product than GLS 63 since even the base X7 wins vs GLS (comparison test by TheStraightPipes, for example)
American engines are nothing to these german enginse
First can I get a shout out please
No
☝️
Why are the lug nuts exposed? Gross
Well this is a first for me, someone driving a BMW and using the indicators.... ( Mind Blown )
