    I really think is better than pre facelifted.
    Great car! Best in class.

    I really like the facelift of the X7, I even love the 7 series
    BMW is the best German car brand, they create a great balance of quirky, posh and sporty, they make the best daily drivers

    23" wheels.... I'm speechless. My friend who is an executive at BMW has a 2022 X7. It's funny watching him look for parking spots when he comes to downtown Toronto to have a coffee... And that's all I have to say about the X7. Thanks for the review Marek. And I hope you are wearing sunscreen. I know how your Polish skin isn't used to so much sun...

      @alliejr That explains our AC issues.
      Outside temperature was about 15 degrees C up at 5k feet elevation, but inside the car the AC couldn't keep up cooling the interior. The thermostat went crazy, because it was relatively cool outside, but the sun was heating the inside of the car like an oven.

    No, we don't need such big cars in Europe, but the tech showcase and waterfall effect to the lesser models is welcome. And yes, we need and appreciate good reviewers as you are. We'll done Marek, independently from which side of the Atlantic.

    I have to disagree with your ugly comment. I sell BMWs for a living and I have been driving one of these for about three weeks. I have never gotten this much positive attention from so many people. I drop my son and daughter off at two different schools and the amount positive comments are surprising.

    I keep seeing comments on how ugly this BMW suv is, yet you can’t find these vehicles on anyone’s lots. A lot of them are sold within the transport stage to the dealership. I haven’t seen the front in person but I do love the interior changes. Guess everyone has a very different opinion on what’s attractive and what’s ugly.

    • @MarekDrivesENG
      @MarekDrivesENG  2 роки тому +1

      I wonder how many were sold before they arrived, and how many are simply still in production, because of chip shortages.

      The lower area below the grill is just the WORST. I don’t even understand how they can design something so ugly, let alone approve it for production and think it looks good!?
      Are they letting children design the fronts of their cars now?!

      Exactly David ;) I drive an E segment sedan, but the first days I dropped off my son the Audi was dwarfed by a parade of RR, GLS and X6. This Escalade-que 'behemoth' (thx Marek) tops 'm all. Marek, as a medical student, I happened to stay where this testdrive was filmed. Our car (Rent a Wreck) broke down. Hours later, the repair man told about the mysteries of the desert around Palm Springs. His stories were 'mob' related ..... With that in mind, glad you survived your ordeal

    • @MarekDrivesENG
      @MarekDrivesENG  2 роки тому

      @Don Dixit interesting. It's a good thing my driving partner didn't hear about it. When we stopped to film my stand-up scenes next to the car, we were out of cell service, and there was (recreational?) shooting going on somewhere in the vicinity. I noticed my colleague was a bit uneasy being the middle of nowhere with no way to call for help :)
