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.
Best pov car review guy in the business. 10 minutes of pure knowledge and a nice drive.. no bullshit. Love the format. Top job Max, keep up the good work 🙌 AutotopNL 👑
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.
Alpina doesn't say don't use the shifters, they just think the buttons work well. They were the first to offer self-shifting from the steering wheel on BMWs. Besides, nowadays you have the option to select the normal BMW paddles. It's your choice, whichever you prefer.
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.
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.
....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...
"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.
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'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?

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.

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.

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.

Love the platform of this XB7, and the engine to front axle placement, as well as the uncommon front wheel well vents.
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
For a big "panzerwagen " it's impressive to +180kmh to 260kmh
"Alpina is a car manufacturer, this is not a BMW", and then opens the bonet, BMW engine, opens the doors, BMW everywhere.
When you lower the suspension, it basically looks like a minivan

Ja those Sunday riders…..
Because in other countries it's illegal, not because it can't be done
I love aftermarket SUVs: Brabus, Alpina, Gembella, even that Cayenne that Ruf made.
There is a brand new blue Alpina XB7 here in Toronto and it is STUNNING!
This is my favourite 3 row premium suv
You can also order paddle shifters, if you want them😉
the man got the money and the taste, really cool X7
My family and me we went to a road trip with 7passengers it was the best travel ever
I love the way these look especially blacked out
you have to see the x7 in real life to rate it. It looks so much better in real life, its so huge
this films make me aware how poor i am
it does have a presence on the road
The Ultimate family car for me is this to cross continents
Andreas doesn‘t only have taste, he‘s also got money.
It’s a stunner ✨

Beautiful vehicle, the only X7 I would take!
Hello from Russia
I was waiting for this XB7 for a long time thanks for your great review
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
15:23 Great observation and thinking . . .👍
My favourite SUV
this is my new favourite family car
Crazy how fast and easily it pulls to 180mph definitely has more room up top !
15:30 pretty mature driver. I've seen doing this pretty often.
Xb7 is a dream
10:55 That engine sound it's amazing
it's so baddd, obviously artificial and makes me feel sick lol
@@HiFlyerr yeah I agree, absolutely hideous
I love the auto called "experienced driver" in the description...
Great family wagon I just ordered a XB7 in the same grey color but in blackPackage 😎
Max your reviews are always top notch! Great job!!
From India ❤️
Seen a couple of regular x7s around so far but this is just levels up from it somehow
Hey Max, how are you?
When are you guys gonna test a Touareg withe the 6.0 W12 engine ? Cuz that would be pretty cool tbh =)))

Alpina always delivers the cars with Bmw logo’s on front and rear. The ones with ‘Alpina’ logo have been fitted with ‘Ali-tuning’
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
Great video! Thanks for the preview. Mine should be here in November 2021. I ordered mine in Alpina Blue.
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
Awesome car and fantastic video!!!
MY TOP 3 SUV
Such a beautiful car! Would really like to upgrade to this car one day
Nice ride , nice drive 👍👍👍
MONSTER, MY FAVE SUV
In what region of germany are you at?because in the north parth the autobahn is limited almost everywhere because road working,"STAU" everywhere
Great video and how is max speed?
Very nice car! Well done!
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.
Pls do a review on the new Maybach GLS
Damn this is a Monster
The grille works well on SUVs but not sedans
It really is super special
....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...
SAME GREY WITH BLUE LASER LIGHTS 😍😍😍
Its funny how that car costs more than 300k in Australia, yet interior is almost the same as my 65k 330i G20…
What the difrend between alpina & bmw?
Absolutely stunning spec 👍
With a black leather interior, this interior would look really nice
What a beautiful car 👏
Im suprised Alpina didn't make an XB6 before this
XB5 better I think
Not a BMW fan, but this car is great 😊👍
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 👍🏻
Wow luxury car 😍
"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.
Thank youuu! Would be so nice to see the trunk of a beast like this
Nice family car, by the way how much does it cost to constantly clean the car when kids behind keep throwing up?
Very nice beast
Very good!
Amazing how low the air suspension drops the car.
What about the legendary reliability of the V8 4.4L motor?
Would it be better to put a V12 like in the BMW 760Li?
Sick car.
Nice preformance
I drove past an X7 in my van earlier and felt small🤣
Wil even zeggen. Hoewel je accent echt te nederlands is. Maak je goede content, ga zo door!
my fav suv!
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.
Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey do u check roman performance m8 Gran coupe and check SUV what they done is shock.
Alpina B5 Touring facelift please.
Alpina... The BRABUS of BMW
Which one has the better sound, this one or the GLS63?
GLS63 by far, the fake sound is disgusting in this thing
nice family suv with power when you need it but that fake engine noise in the cabin can get annoying when pushing it
Amazing driving machine
Best suv ❤
Where is the iconic entro?
Cool review. I sitll hate the hideous front grill, and ever will.
Guys, could you please review the LCI one
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?
so nice car.
If I had the amount of money that your Andreas has i would have a good taste too believe me, I bet everyone would
New dream😎
"THIS IS NOT BMW IT'S ALPINA..."
BMW logo 👀
On the hood and trunc all alpinas came with them.
