Bigger is better right? #BMW has been in desperate need of an SUV larger than the current X5 and for 2019, they finally get that exact vehicle. This is the new flagship SAV of their lineup, the all-new 2019 #BMWX7. Riding on a modified X5 platform and stretched out by over 9 inches in overall length, this BMW #X7 should have the chops to go toe to toe with the best from Mercedes, Lincoln, Land Rover, and Cadillac.
Happy Friday everyone! We were actually a lot more impressed with the new BMW X7 more than we anticipated. This is truly a rival to the equally pricey Lincoln Navigator and way above the league for the current Cadillac Escalade and Mercedes-Benz GLS. That being said, we will be driving and reviewing the all-new 2020 GLS next month. Until then, let us know your thoughts about the new X7 below!
Keep the bloopers section, love it
Love the x7. Although I don’t know if I’d pick it over the GLS63 AMG?
I gonna buy it in 2023 when used 2019 one are 30000$ish (same price as a 2019 used 4runner and wrangler)
Funny bloopers 😂
naveenthemachine yeah the GLS63 would win hands down the new one would probably make over the 577hp that the current one makes
Charging for apple car play monthly should be a crime
It’s standard. Not an option. Not a subscription
chrisak49 it is a subscription: www.caranddriver.com/news/a15530125/bmw-to-treat-apple-carplay-as-a-subscription-service-and-charge-customers-an-annual-fee/
However, $80 for a yearly service will be nothing for someone who can afford this car.
It's like those paid loot boxes in video games..
Juan Poemape yeah but still it’s fucking dumb, makes me want to sell my 3 series right now. It doesn’t cost bmw anything once it’s in the car so why are you charging people $80 a month for someone thing standard in a Elantra
Juan Poemape that’s like bmw starts charging $100 a year to use the speakers but saying it’s ok because they can afford it
When Sofyan reviews a car, it's always unbiased and truthful. Doesn't matter if it's a BMW or a Buick. Top Work Mate.
Eh, I think sometimes he can be a bit biased against GM's.. Sometimes it's the cold, hard truth, other times, I'd say it's nitpicking.
@@evanganske9240 you're right. Definitely bias against GM. Reviews aren't supposed to be biased.
I’m blown away how BMW has stepped up their luxury game. Their last gen products I thought were already tough to beat. Now the 2019 M340 and this thing are taking it to the next level.
Just bought a 2019 BMW X7 50i (V8) Executive (45K miles for $61K [$106K new] from a BMW dealer in VA) with 22" wheels and every possible option except for second row bucket seats. We looked at Mercedes GLS, Cadillac, Navigator, Acura and every potential vehicle in its size/class. Our previous family vehicle was a 2018 Chevy Traverse High Country ($50K) that we bought new. The BMW is obviously an incredible upgrade, but was the best choice hands down of the bunch in 2023 (as was the Traverse in 2018 in its class). Bought pricey extended BMW warranty, but what the heck as it's covered now for 5 more years or 55K more miles. Was a leased car, but after detailing turned out quite nice. Looking forward to some good times...
Several years late but i really appreciate your reviews. Nice to go back in time and see such informative reviews.
Thank you.
To be honest.... This car is a beast🔥🔥 I'm so in love with the grills.
It's so much going in this car. It's quite overwhelming.
T L oh stfu 🙄
I like the fact it's a 6 seater. It's better to seat 6 in comfort versus making 3 of the passengers squished together.
You've been killing it with all the new uploads! Great job as always man 👍
Sean Spain this is why money buy happiness
Fantastic review Sofyan! Loved it! Local BMW dealer doesn't have any X-7s on the floor to see because they get sold on day of delivery... they are selling fast!!! Keep up the great work!
I didn't know BMW could even manage something like this, very very impressive.
The comments are ridiculous. If you can afford a 120K for a automobile then depreciation and reliability isn’t a concern. Go enjoy the Highlander reviews!!
You certainly have one of the better reviews on this BMW, including the latest X7. The X7 is something that I’ve never heard of before, so I decided to let the user say it for itself rather than comment too much further for now.
⚠️ I do suggest that you should cite your music in your videos, as I plan to cite the music source in many of my future videos should I use any. The music heard in the video looks like some kind of suspense. (Note that the ⚠️ emoji is a heads up.)
6 tons? Think you meant 6 thousand pounds. :)
Jacob Brigl Yes that is right. Thank you for clarifying that! :)
Lol 6 tons? that’s how heavy some box truck is
Jacob Brigl xD 6 tons equals to 12,000 pounds 😂
Aayan, dont think you quite understand the context of the situation.
3 tons
People in the comment section stop bitching about the price. If you cannot easily afford it, do not buy it. Just live within your means.
I was all for the X7 until I heard you’ve gotta pay for Apple CarPlay monthly subscription. No thanks, especially when basic cars worth 10% of this have it standard😂 EDIT: nvm, carplay’s free now lol
The germans are great at making you pay premium for basic options , and yet some how the are the best ... Yeah right soyfan
Samuel Serrano when I bought my ‘18 bmw I saw on my options that apple CarPlay was a $300 option. BUT! Bmw does wireless Apple CarPlay and were the very first to do it. Still not worth $300 but it’s a nice feature to be wireless. I personally HATE CarPlay because it limits my other features. In my HUD I can’t see all the upcoming music and instead get the name of the current song and a forward and backwards option. And when using the CarPlay nav I can’t see my nav directions in the HUD at all. And if your phone loses service on a trip you’re SOL if you miss a turn because it won’t load anything new. But also BMW nav manages to add an extra hour on arrival time when I take even a 5 hour drive 😂. So they both have their pros and cons.
Samuel Serrano people buying these type of cars don’t care about things like that they don’t care about standard features or Value this isn’t a Kia
I'd like to know how does a monthly subscription work??? I mean all other cars have it installed permanently. Or is it just a contract BMW makes you sign saying you'll pay them a monthly fee? I guess if you stop paying they either sue you or come rip your radio out of your bimmer?
iSlandeRon there’s no monthly subscription, he’s talking out his ass. It’s $300 one time fee for wireless CarPlay
Why do people keep talking about BMW's grills like they're too big? The size of the grills contrast with the sleekness of the headlights giving it a very opulent look. EXACTLY what Rolls Royce does with theirs cars and even their SUV Cullinan. Except, Rolls Royce has even bigger grills that contrast with the sleek headlights. Nobody talks about that. And since BMW owns Rolls Royce, why is the similarity that surprising?
This car is awesome. Wish I could afford it. I am speaking it into existence that I will own a luxury car.
You will. These and other luxury cars depreciate immensely
@@SonyEnthusiast exactly. Lol. Just wait 4-5 years
@@SonyEnthusiast That's what I'm waiting for haha
HR-Vex Just remember that the cost of maintenance does not depreciate. I have seen many people buy luxury cars in the used market after depreciation has taken its effect only to then spend outrageous sums in maintenance.
If I couldn’t afford it new or wasn’t willing to spend this much money on a ride, I would look at a top trim Telluride or upcoming Palissade.
Great review on the X7! I noticed that you stated the LED panoramic roof came from Mercedes. Unfortunately that isn’t true, because Mercedes has never offered an LED panoramic sunroof. Instead this idea came from the Rolls Royce’s starlight headliner. Also, the sensor you pressed first on the door handle is used for smartphone entry to the vehicle.
@30:49 Imagine doing a review, and a fisherman is about fall down! 😭😭😭
I can hear Scotty Kilmer voicein my head: "endless money pit"
Would rather a Lexus over this BMW, don’t care how nice this car is.
@@LaSombraa Or Acura and KIA/Hyundai
Symbolic Bass if it ain’t Toyota it’s an endless money pit to him
lol that's why you only lease these
Scotty for President
That key fob is insane
Ridiculous, right!?!? Classic BMW move!!!! Over engineered. That fob is huge and... unnecessary. Tesla near field communication smartphone entry is the state of the art. A six figure car shouldn't even require a key fob!
I would still pay $350 for it.
@@charleshein4477 I have both, id take the bmw and its over engineering any day
@@subiediaries6157 just with respect to method of entry which do you find better?
@@charleshein4477 for both my model x and bmw I have key fobs. They work exactly the same. I do enjoy the over engineering of the Tesla where the driver door automatically opens while i approach it with the key fob in pocket.
God this is a gorgeous SUV. Great review Sofyan. You guys always deliver great content.
Just want to commend the guy at the end of the video that almost tripped but handled it like a true gentlemen.
omg that part was so funny lmao!!
Wow what a beauty!! Finally a company that really shows the LED and headlights according to the year that we live, 2019!!! Please pay attention automakers, incandescent light bulbs are ugly and obsolete for many years!!
$120,000 SUV. Nuts to that.
40k right now 🎉
I have the display key with my 640GT. I thought it was senseless until i started to use it daily. I love it.
I drove one of these the other day....it's awesome....but not $120,000 awesome.
kaox44 deleted This one BMW X7. Or a Kia Telluride SX and a Porsche Boxster? The Kia still has features the X7 doesn’t, arguably a more handsome design and will spend less time in the shop.
And BMW is so thirsty the took Apple CarPlay that you can get in a Hyundai or GM vehicle for free and charge you monthly. Makes no sense. I know how I’d use my money.
@@dalex7777 ...for the money, Telluride easy(drove it to). With that said, the X7-50i is the real deal if money wasn't an issue.
Kia Telly for sure
dalex7777, the Kia has one feature, or features the X7 doesn’t have?
Gary Basra wireless CarPlay.
I've already seen multiple on the road, and that's just gonna increase.
A friend of mine just bought an x6, and he is right, it smells expensive. Like everything smells good. The leather actually smells really good. BMW is luxury personified in a car. I love it!
The BMW X7 is the best full size SUV on the market for the money. My mom has one and it’s incredible. Only the Rolls Royce Cullinan and Bentley Bentayga are better.
I would love to see and experience the BMW X7 in person, I might get the chance to do that this summer.
Thanks for today's video Redline Reviews.
The camera on the speed dial is not for active cruise control, it monitors your eyes to ensure that you are awake and paying attention on the road.
19:34 - lmfaoooo, sometimes he's so blunt when he makes jokes it cracks me up
Wow!!Awesome review this BMW,is very nice. very detail content I enjoy your Videos. 😍😍
Omg! I so wanted the guy in the background to fall into the water. Great review btw. Love the new X7.
The door slam’s wavelength really pleased my ears.
With all this technology in these cars, soon steering wheels will be optional!
Awesome info. Love your reviews. Bought the TrackHawk after seeing your reaction a couple years ago. lol
"Really strange length arms" says the little guy! 🤣 Good review.
A monthly payment to use airplay?!? That's greed. I would just get a cellphone holder and use my phones bluetooth.
Nope. It’s standard. I don’t know where he is getting his info but he’s wrong.
@Sir Alfred Lawrence why did you suddenly add that to conversation? What does that have to do with it?
GIFTMAZON STORE bro the Toyota Corolla doesn’t charge for it so he’s saying bmw shouldn’t yoo
$80 a year? People are complaining about that? Apparently THIS car isn’t for you.
Go ahead and drive your Toyota Corolla, and when I pull up next to you, make sure that your lady has on blinders.
6 tons!? That must've been a minor error. You guys are awesome. Love your reviews!
How about just under 3 tons. I laughed when I heard that like I'm sure you did.
I'm a big fan of BMW, I wish I could have it one day
Oomar Jaumally Lease it
$50,000 in options, that’s eye watering! I need to find a new job lol!
I was waiting to hear the price 30:28 If you like this vehicle wait about 3 years and you will find a well cared for used one on craigslist for a little less than half the price of what it cost new.
This is hands down one of the best 3 row SUV ever!! BMW X7 rocks !!!
agree bro!
Wow, that intro music was very EPIC!
I think it was a bit much for any vehicle intro. Props to them for trying though.
It’s a Big Rig 🚛 not an SUV! The Grill it’s exactly close to PeterBuilt big Rig.. I do like the X5M. The interior hands down! Loved ❤️ it😘👍 No hates here I own 2018 BMW and I love it.
Great reviews Sofyan. Been following your channel for a few months now. Hopefully seeing you in South Florida one day. Thank you.
That suv is stunning. But I wouldn’t pay a subscription to use CarPlay
"Stunning?" It's a big blobby oversized kid mover. I think everybody has lost perspective! :)
Love that I get to work with these vehicles everyday. Can't wait to see the new GLS when you renew it.
I really love the design of the X7 but don't judge me because I also love the grill and the interior is the best but my favourite feature is the infotainment system
The only thing that this SUV is missing is the cooled rear seats, CD player, Android auto, and wood grain steering wheel. It'd be cool if the 2nd row seats had a power recline feature with a pop-out foot ottoman and lunch trays (like the Range Rover Autobiography) . The 2nd row should also have an optional massage and memory feature.
1:56 I love how he compares the front grill to Winfred Sanders buck teeth from Hocus Pocus! I’m dying 😂
Sofya, 1. A lot of us have Android phones 2. These abrupt commercial interruptions are totally unacceptable. This is a TV show.
No one can review a car better than Redline/Sofyan🙏✌
My New Dream car model since it first came out!
For the compensators out there. Like this guy ^
My husband makes the seats for this car!! This and the X5. Glad you like them 😬
17:54 "It's smell expensive !" 🤣😂
Mine does too.
BMW stepping up their interior was pretty bland pervious gen
They have a few steps to take, too!
Fancy pants! I love the whole thing. Now I got to hit the lottery! 3 damn sunroofs! Double glass. Hot damn!!!
It tempted me to get one but I'm just a simple guy x7 is luxury vehicle that I think everyone's desire.
You truly are a personal top favorite of car reviewer's Sofyan! I also equally look forward to your updates/reviews. Keep doin your thing Buddy!!☺👍💯
Great video! Sofyan.
I'm considering the new X7. How's the reliability according to you?
Love your presentations. I am getting the refreshed x7. “Scheduled for production”. Would be fantastic it you can review once it’s released.
It's still small if you comparing to the Escalade
Why recommend the larger 22" tires?" Yes, it may look nicer to race-track speedster, but for any ride over 2 hours....back problems and chances for tire explosions & axles breakdowns dramatically higher than the smaller tires. Wish they had 20" (higher profile) tires for people who like to go on long rides as well as offroad driving without having to replace the tires and fix the axles every year.
I must say, this is definitely a dream car for me !! Absolutely gorgeous thing
😍 by far my favorite bmw to date
Wonderful, well done review. I don’t have the X7, but I have apple car play, and the only few times I have tried it, it was a disappointment (it sucks). It’s like siriusxm, just worthless imo.
I think it's a trade off between the Navigator and this. A fully loaded Black Label would be just over 100k, which is around 20k less than this tester Bimmer is. The Lincoln cant accelerate or handle like the 4.4L X7, but would likely be less to maintain and no ridiculous ACP subscription. The Navi has a nice interior (especially the Destination Theme) but is a step below the X7. I hope Lincoln is working out ride quality quirks and also a smaller displacement TT V8.
lol damn i as hoping the fisherman wouldve fell! another great video
Like your reviews man. What keeps me from loving them is what seems to be a lack of breath in between your assessments of the various components, functions, amenities, materials, features etc. I sometimes find it a bit daunting to recognize what portion of the vehicles you're covering vs another because you don't insert many pauses in between making your assessments. Could just be me and it's not a diss. Just an observation 🤷🏾♂️. Nonetheless keep up the great work and beautiful SUV. Hope you review the I7 at soon!
Dude! we get it. It's the biggest SUV BMW has made
Probably has 20 something computers in it to run everything
Can be a nightmare to work on after the warranty runs out
The majority of luxury vehicles are leased & thus always under warranty. No one wants to keep one of these past the warranty.
Such a nice car to lease. Used models will be money pits on a level that would make Range Rover blush.
Not impressed for the price. This truck should be at least $ 30k less. My wife recently test drove several luxury SUVs and none impressed me honestly. She settled on the Buick Enclave. It has so much tech and features for around half the price of this.
GREAT review; however, was it just me or was there no comment on the ride? How soft is it? How stiff is it? How does the predictive suspension work and is it worth the upgrade?
Sofyan you’re absolutely gushing over the new X7 lol!!
Hi Sofyan. I’m so happy that u reviewed this
Im an Escalade fan going way back. That being said, I think the new one is garbage. Ive really tried to like this BMW, but after seeing many videos of it, and its competitors, the only vehicle in this class that I would choose is the Touareg III with 4.0 TDI. Its so much less pretentious, and shares DNA with the Bentayga. I do not like the new oversized grille nor the vertical chrome. Thanks for another great review.
Check out the Lincoln Navigator 👀 best on the road in my opinion, and BMW is my favorite
Why you Americans and other Countries always says BMW, Mercedes and Audi are "luxury brands"? They are not luxury, they are just premium. Luxury for me is Maybach, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Maseratti, Aston, Lambo, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Bugatti etc. but not BMW you see everyday on the road... at least here in Germany 🤦🏽♂️
DerHalbeEuro the term luxury varies per region. The cars you consider luxury like Bentley or Rolls Royce are called “ultra luxury” and Lambos and Bugatti are called “exotic” cars in USA. The term premium in USA is referring to cars that are slightly above in prices and features from the mainstream cars like KIA, Toyota, Ford etc..
Best looking BMW in a while
Paying for Apple Carplay? I don't think so. Why pay for a feature that's becoming standard on just about every new car? I like BMW but they aren't the end of line in top end luxury automobiles.
Stop taking your eyes off the road. Overall, great video. Love the BMW lineup.
We went from just the X5 SUV in back 1999, to X1, X3, X4, X5, X6, and now X7
X2 as well!!
It's gorgeous to be sure! But for a 120K, I could go to my Kia dealer, get a fully loaded Telluride, Stinger, and Soul. I could get nice cars for my entire family. I know, I know! On a different level and they can't really be compared. I'm just saying, 120K+ is a lot of money.
Awesome I was just binging your videos before I got the notification
This vehicle is just missing a chandelier 😂😂
Hilarious!
Lmao 😂😂😂
Lol 😂
Right lol
This is really nice. The grill is not bad.
I can’t wait for the new 2020 GLS review to see the difference
I definitely would want one if I had kids. Especially since this handles so nicely
Very nice! BMWs front end here seems to have taken a cue from the Volvo XC90.
when listening to all the options in the car, for some reason the first thing that came to my mind was the scene in ‘they live’. Buy, consume, this is your god’. $500 for this, $1500 for that. $5000 for the b&w music system upgrade on top of the regular system. u can probably get a pretty decent mcintosh for that much.
Navigator for me, purely for the aesthetic preference. Don’t care if it handles wonderfully or not.
This truck is a very good match up with the all new Genesis Gv80 this is a very nice truck also can't go wrong with either choice.
3rd row looks a bit snug. 2nd row pillowed headrest is likely to protect the monitors (on back of front row seats) from damage. 🤔
A hint for those of you griping about the monthly fee for Carplay: this class of car isn't for you.
People who can actually afford this don't count money on the relevant scale.
