We went in thinking the X7 was right for us (family of 4), but after test driving we decided the X5 was the way to go and we're very happy that we did. To me, the X5 drove more like a car. The X7 was great, but it definitely felt like a bigger SUV.

Hi Thanks for sharing your experience ox X7. I am debating between x5 and x7 ? I don't need the 6 or 7 seating BUT the X7 is a headturner compare to x5 in my opinion. It's a 7 series suv ( i had a 750 earlier) It's tall big and bulky front. Question for you please? Should i get the x7 even i don't need 7 seats? Something new to drive as x5 is very common? Thank you so much in advance.
This was helpful because I only had driven the X7 and loved the front seat space and dont need a third row seat. I noticed it wobbled and wished it had been a tad bit sportier but also dont want to sacrifice comfort or front seat space. This review kind of swayed me towards checking out the x5. Thanks!
I love the extra bench for having my parents or the in-laws when going on a road trip. I think its ideal since I need to have 2 cars seats for the kids. Hate the price tag lol.
Yup glad I got my X7. Don’t even have a family but the extra room is awesome when going on my road trips w/my wife. Artic Grey, M-Sport package and she goes. Call it a family car all you want but big boys need big bodies lol ✌🏽 and she drives like a car, doesn’t feel like an Expedition or Yukon or some other massive vic.
@@nabman7425 Congrats!!! I imagine that it’s a beast to drive! I have the 40i but it still does the job for me especially when I have to lean in a little with my lead foot to get away from the bad drivers lol
Similarly equipped X5 is not 20K less than an X7. X7 comes with standard air suspension. That together with a longer wheelbase results in a more comfortable, planted ride.
I have the x7 40i m sport. Its nice and it fits the family, nanny, and dogs. I thought about the x5, but i found it too small for us and i already have a highlander to fill that spot.
I test drove both and preferred the X7. I have 2 children.....18 and 21.....so I didn't need the extra room, but very glad I have it. It is super smooth and I feel amazing driving it!! The only downfall is the AC. Takes forever to cool down in this Florida heat.
I agree with most of the comments. X7 has better quality for an unknown reason including extras like ZeroG seat 💺. But x5 is the most ergonomic size 🥰🥰
Was on the fence about these two. I don’t really need the 3rd row but imo, the x7 looks so much better. Especially the x7 m50 which is what I’m looking to purchase. I always liked the x5 but there’s something about that doesn’t flow right in looks.
The third row may be roomy but I will not forgive BMW for not adding vents to the third row. I didn’t realize until after someone had to sit back there that there weren’t any vents. It makes sitting back there really uncomfortable. Adding vents is an extra option which is absurd. I expected there to be vents and the extra option was to add an individual zone back there. Even my old Volkswagen atlas had vents back there.
@@MikeyG003it’s an extra option. The vents don’t come standard like you’d think. I have a 2019 X7 and it doesn’t have any air vents, it just has a cheap plastic cover where the controls would be.
This was very close to base, we tried to get the same spec for both cars. Yeah most of them do have those features and I'd highly recommend anyone that can buy it with those features to go for it.
So is it literally only half an inch difference in second row leg room between the X5 and X7? Is the bigger difference in the 3rd row and cargo space? If second row is my main concern, not sure it is worth the 15k plus to upgrade to the X7 just for half an inch of leg room....
Hi. It would be great to see on screen the numbers you presented and also to give us those numbers not only in imperial system, but also in metric system. Just a feedback, please don’t mind.
The drivetrain is quite reliable. They do have corks here and there but usually not major issues. Especially not related to the drivetrain. BMW is reasonable when it comes to honoring their warranty, I wouldn't worry too much about the reliability.
The x5 rear room is like that of a 3 series 1:they don’t allow the seat to recline far back enough 2.the seats need to be able to slide back That would have solved the x5 problems because the x5 is like heightened,heavy car When it comes to rear seat room Mercedes has more ,and u can tell by the length of the fender, Benz fenders are shorter. And the back doors are longer , u can tell upon looking the backseats has more space and comfort than the bmw. Look how the gle beat the x6, By making their car higher giving more headroom in the back.and a little more lenght
I recommend you doing your research before making such statements. The X7 offers a bit more front-row headroom at 41.9 inches to the X5's 40.7 inches, but legroom is identical at 39.8 inches. The second row X7 headroom and legroom: 39.9 and 37.6 inches, compared to the X5 39.4 and 37.4 inches, respectively. Neither of these are 3 series comparable.
@@48hourrecordsteam45 dude. I know what you're talking about. The X5 rear seat is fractionally smaller than the X7. The X5 also reclines perfectly fine. Package it with optional 3rd row and it literally moves just like the X7. Your original comment is that it's a problem in the X5, it's not.
@@kennycasillas901 if you know what I’m talking about why you balbed on and on about the x7 and no not for me the x5 rear seat doesn’t recline far enough and have enough space. Lesser,cheaper brands have more backseat room in their midsize SUV’s than the x5 and that’s a bad thing
@@48hourrecordsteam45 I didn't babble on about the X7. I included it's specs in comparison to the X5 to show you they are nearly identical which is evidence that the X5 rear seat is nothing like the 3 series in any way.
Frankly the 3rd row space part was not that convincing because you did not show exactly how your legs fit against the second row seat. Based on pure high school geometry, the size of the X7 does not really allow for roomy 3rd row...
If I want a max SUV - then it is hard to beat a Toyota Sequoia. Additionally, the seats move FASTER. Finally, it is built for those who want to drive and spend time in the great OUTDOORS.
BMW SUV'S, including the X7 has horrendous resale value.... it depreciates in value faster than a bad diarrhea going down the tiolet.... a 2019 X7 can be have at $65,000-70,000....
Terrible video. Neither car is optioned out. If it was, the X7 is way more luxurious, merino leather and Individual upgrades is like a 7 series. X7 also has soft-closed doors, to say that it doesn't is a false statement. If your car as shown, does not have an option, just say this car is not optioned with that option but you can upgrade, etc. Camera guy needs to hold the camera more still instead of zoom in and out, and moving around so much.
i hate black vehicles and wheels, it's like everyone wants to be Special OPPS or something, if i'm going to spend this kind of money on a vehicle i want to be seen, i want my wheels to make people go blind, and i want Diamond paint on my joint, this color is trash.
I just bought the 2022 X7 M sport 40i family of 5 and my kids love it in the back so much comfort
I don’t even care about having a big family or if it’s a family car, I just love huge SUVs like the X7

On the X7
The 2nd Row bench increases max payload as they fold flat while the captain chairs merely move forward & soft close doors are available.

Seats move slow for x7 due to international safety requirement / standards

👍👍👍
The x7 wobbles. For its size its better than an escalade but its still a top heavy bohemoth.
The headlights of the X7 looks so much meaner in my opinion and the room is so much better.
X7 definitely has more room after the front cabin!
