“Alpina is slightly more sporty than Maybach.”
Understatement of the century.
Alpina logo literally has velocity stacks and a crankshaft referring to their racing pedigree.
Hahaha yeah jussssssst a tad
Alpine is completely different from maybach...they should've compared it to brabus
@@shazinaboobacker6991 cant compare really
@@lukanikolic1615 well I personally like brabus
Alpina
Alpine (a french car company)
Alpine (stereo unit)
Non car guy : ITS THE SAME
I met a dude who owned a Alpina B6 who thought Alpine was the same company.
@@nickbuccini7535 I would be ashamed of myself
@@nickbuccini7535 more money than sense
Alpina Watches .
@@nickbuccini7535 there should be a clause in the bmw manufacturer where if that ever happens the car must be sold at auction immediately 😅
This will make Hoovie’s “Cheapest Alpina in the Country” video in about 5 years...
Love this comment
Hilarious
Hahaha
Hoovie rocks!
i could already imagine everything going wrong in a few years lmfao
Imagine buying a 150k SUV just to be called poor by TheStraightPipes.
Much love, your friends at Rev Media!!
Why so many scratches on the paint... Someone did a horrible washjob.
I was thinking the same. Amazing the way journalists treat these press cars. That paint has been completely abused.
because it's black..
Press car.
@@thewholeeventhorizon They're supposed to beat up press cars. That's the point. Who cares?
Don't own em. Don't. Care. You see.
forgett about the escalade, this is the real Baller car
Heavenly-Fighters For Real. Much nicer looking vehicle as well. I don’t like SUVs very much, (though I do like wagons or ‘estate cars’), but this is an SUV I could definitely live with.
The new escalade looks like a bus
@@susanmaggiora4800 Too bad BMW dosnt make SUVs. I live near the largest BMW plant in the world and we had a guy trying to get interest in a student program they had and he had to clarify they dont make SUVs. Only Crossovers. He really wanted to make that clear. It was interesting at the time though cause it was before I knew that crossovers arent SUVs.
@@baronvonjo1929 Even BMW never marketed X5 (their first crosssover) as SUV, instead they call it Sport Activity Vehicle, which means a car that has sporty feeling but has enough room and features to accomodate many weekend activities.
Who ever said the escalade was a baller car never ventured far from the trailer park !!
This x7 with that big kidney grill actually works bretty well.
True x7 7 series looks good whit big grill
Here proportions are alright, cuz the front itself is huge too. Also numberplate is not interfiering eith grill
Ngl thi big grills are growing on me, except for the numberplate slammed on top of them.
According to Doug.. It's Lung grill
It suits it well because the proportions are aligned to the rest of the car, unlike some of the other models...
Exactly, a big car needs big grills to make it look agrrssive.
Holy swirl marks, who at BMW is responsible for that lmao
"Journalists" running it through carwashes lol
@@RyanZNO yep
all SUVs should get that lower suspension thing and have a low rider look. they should give this variant a new name. maybe "stationwagon"
Ehhm real station wagons still exist.......
Just look at the alpina B5 touring
They don't because:
1. It's expensive
2. It's extremely unreliable
no no no that name wouldnt sell, they should market it as Estate SUV, like they do with Coupe SUVs
People will only be getting more and more SUVs from now on. It's like standing up at the front of a concert. Once everyone stands up, you have to as well.
Looks like a car I would modify in midnight club😂
On the Fujifilm quality: I immediately noticed better quality shots on the 4k screen. More vibrant and crisp for sure. I would keep using it!
On the youtube: Amazing as always thanks guys!`
Love me some fuji xt-4, I'm looking to upgrade from my xt-2 soon. So fun to just walk around with and it looks greats.
Hey! let's take a minute to appreciate the intro. Man! that was one hell of an intro! one of my favorites. You guys do such an amazing job in everything.
Great review guys and I couldn’t agree with you anymore. Just got 2021 Tanzanite Blue with 23inch wheels after trading in Tesla model X P100 D.
This car is completely on a different planet of luxury and performance combination. My wife is so impressed about the overall package and now wants to get rid of her 2020 Cayenne Turbo and get another XB7!!
Amazing Car for people who have families but don’t want to come compromise on performance or looks!
Test drove the new 2021 MB GLS 63, in comparison to the Mercedes Benz although a good SUV but not as good as the BMW XB7! BMW Tunner Alpina really nailed this car.
Again, thanks for you consistent great reviews and awesome videos keep up the great work..
Congrats on the car in the proper spec
You're a lucky guy!
Sporty? 7 seats? Family beast wagon 🔥
Need one
It's so low it really does look like a wagon
I don't think there is anyone who unironically believes a 6 ft tall car with 0.7 ft of ground clearance is considered a wagon instead of an SUV. OP must be trolling
When you're rich, but not so much 😂,
Somebody somewhere is getting pissed..
I dont understand?
@@DexxonGamer77 original title I think.
@@tulus38 Yep. It was "When you're rich... But not Maybach rich"
@@lfox02 Lol maybach should be when your rich but not Rolls Royce rich.
@@DexxonGamer77 Maybach >>> Rolls
that reminds me of what i built in need for speed underground 2 8 years ago. man that was fun!
Nahh man it misses the split carbon fibre hood. Rear spoiler. Neon lights. NOS. Not to forget your trunk full of speakers. Also tacky decals.
1990’s babies all relate lmao were the speakers
You built an SUV in NFS??
@@dzello yes, you could before
@@BondTheOGYT Not exactly what I'm pointing out, buddy.
The grill definitely works a better in this application. This thing is an absolute monster. Like a Trackhawk in a VERY expensive suit.
Awesome view with the Fujis!! Never seen cars review paint swirls before!!
This grill suits X7's character so perfectly.
Massive fan of what Fuji is doing. We film our show with an X-T3. Highly recommended, especially from a performance vs money point of view.
The A in alpina is stretched out to look like the road🤔
True
Person Man Man Makes sense. Now I dislike it just a little less.
@@susanmaggiora4800 ok xD
Wow, it’s really amazing seeing the car driving itself in the first few minutes

Very Nice.
Isn't that because patreons can watch it earlier?
I own this car. I keep my alligator in the back and drive with my pet Liger up front all around town.
You guys have THE BEST clickbait photos in the world.. like seriously I love them.. keep up the good work🤗🤗🤗
Even the Telluride : *Shows Clip of a GV80*
To be honest…, I just started working at the BMW manufacturing plant in South Carolina and there are (so far that I’ve noticed) 8 Alpina XB7’s.., the most expensive cars on the lot.
Nice review guys and what a great SUV the XB7 is, I prefer Alpina's best of both worlds, BMW and Alpina luxury finishes. It's on my shopping list!
Another great review, I might get another one. True Alpina colors are green and blue, the Alpina cars of the 60's through 90's weren't 20" wheels now they use 20's still the same designe, yes crazy buttons not paddles another tradition . I'm still crazy, I still like manuals of old, is the exhaust sound REALLY piped in they never did that before. I always have to watch you guys you remind me of my reviews, in the 80's & 90's ,I'm waiting for the next one.
‘When you are rich enough but not maybach rich’
That should have been the title lol
When you are the senior practice partner, but not the retired owner.
Could of presented you with a swirl free example, paint looks absolutely horrid and shouldn't need a buff this early in its life!
That was one of the first things i noticed. Why do they not come ceramic coated...?
@@Hallowsaw I think the bigger question is who is cleaning a $200,000 Alpina with sandpaper? 😂😂
That’s pretty much how all new black cars end up looking unless you get them professionally detailed. By the time they get to the dealer, have their first wash, get their PDI done, another wash, paints fucked already. Dealers don’t have the time to make sure they are perfect. I’ve never seen a perfect black car straight from a dealer.
@@rare6499 You are right but it's not excusable by any means. I recently bought a red 7.5 GTI golf and made the dealership pay for a mobile detailer of my choosing to remove the swirls and holograms inflicted by horrible wash procedures out back before I drove away with it. Let's just say they didn't like my OCD levels at that dealership but screw em.
Hey guys, know why I stopped reading car mags back in the early 2000’s? Because they kept reviewing cars that were out of reach of most consumers. These cars are fun for you, but we, the people, lose interest. Just saying.
Wasn’t the mazda 3 video, elantra and sonata just last week?
@@TheStraightPipes sure, but so we’re the Jaguar, G80, GV80, Land Rover, etc. Look, I love your vids, and I watch them anyway because I think you guys have great chemistry and are entertaining, but it’s just a little bug in your ear to keep in mind. 😀
Keep up the good work.
Jacob I don't care about car reviews. I demand a review on your phone choice. People upvote this. We demand a full video
Thanks for first review on this big SUV, i reckon it's one of the best of the class. There are not many that can be comfortable and pretty fast like this one, it's a serious premium product. I always prefer an Alpina to a BMW, they are always an individual numbered product which in my opinion makes them special. Just the top speed says it all😳
Not like it matters, but in case you're wondering...At 8.15 the word should be protrude, not extrude. Extrude is to force or push out from a smaller opening.
That AlPineAh looks luxuriously luxurious.
To my eyes, the new Fuji cameras seem to have a warmer color tone and bring out more detail in your shots. The warmer tone feels really good, especially going into winter! Keep up the great work guys!
I really wish BMW would bring the B3 here, no one can afford these high end Alpinas.
B3 ist not BMW, it is also Alpina.
I want that B5. Then id Wrap it in Cherry Red and powder coat the Rims Gunmetal. Beautiful!
"no one can afford these high end Alpinas." XB7 sold out for 2020 few weeks after launch.
In 5 years most people will be able to afford it, if you can fix it buy it then
I actually loved your little demo of the XT4 stabilization! Great camera.
this faux 80's intro music is amazing
master of the huricane - rocking for decades :D
I request you guys to continue filming with the Fuji film.😉
It is a wow quality.
This would be a great family trip car, I like it
The car was BIG, and so was the kidney grille...
I honestly didnt like it ay first but now i like the kidney grill a lot
If your car has an alpina badge, you dont really care.
Kylian Christoffer same lol I thought I was the only one
It'll get bigger
It’s the only model that grill works on
Awesome and 🔥 vehicle. Reason why it comes standard with Pirelli rubber. The best out there 🥇
The Fuji Film looks amazing, please keep using it!
The Alpina wheels are legendary.
2:07 ugh those swirls
That’s what running it through the local car wash will do 😬
Shocking levels of paint swirl
@@503TD if you look hard enough at these water based eco paints they swirl
Alpina Palisade FTW! In the mean time.. I died and went to heaven watching this one.. I was surprised to see this upload! Thanks guys!
Love this SUV 🔥 in white paint
yuri’s snapback during the launch is crazy
Those Fuji's are a major major major GO
To my layman’s eye, the shots with the Fujis look very rich, and mega crisp. If it’s got an Alpina badge, you know it’s going to be good...love this SUV.
👍👍
Really like how the new camera works! Great colors! (Not a sabby tech-wise comment, I know)
Definitely love the Fujifilm X-T4. The colours pop a lot more but not in a fake, oversaturated way
This thing is massive and kinda looks... beautiful :O
What a beauty that 🖤 2021 BMW Alpina BX7 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
I wish Canada would get the BMW Alpina B3 Touring
Is no one gonna mention how sharp the video is? Damn it's so cinematic it's crispy.
Also, the car is beautiful!
I heard the alpina packages are responsible for carmax adjusting their warranty packages and prices lol
Hey guys ,
You are amazing 🤩
I don’t know wether to enjoy both of you or the video 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
The intro music is dope!!!
I felt like I was watching a 1987 movie.......the intro music flashback.....was oh so sweet :)
You can't be a car enthusiast without referring to the movie RONIN.
Imagine it's a press car. Likely been around the block a few times at gas station car washes before photo shoots.
Eh...that was just an OK car movie
The acceleration was just powerful and smooth, but not that agressive. Good job BMW, Alpina, Yuri, and Jakub
I freaked out there was video today on a Wednesday.
@Frank L ?
Its 12:54 P.M. I freaked out from seeing this video was here, on a Wednesday, today.
Big android user for most of my adult life and I switched to iPhone mainly due to me always recording videos of my daughters and how well optimized apps are developed. Even Google optimizes their apps better for iOS most of the time.
The intro music 🤩🔥😍
Same song as Jakub's foxbody (if you can hear it over the exhaust): ua-cam.com/video/F_IN-WPdx7Y/v-deo.html
I don't really care for BMW's but the Alpina wheels have always intrigued me.
OMG! looks amazing man wow
i don't really care about the car i just wanted to say i love it that you have a s10e XD.
It will be just a matter of time before this is in my neighbors driveway.
Rich neighbors?
@@sergeantlee7594 He has an regular B7 and an Escalade now. I am guessing when the lease on those 2 are up he will get the XB7 since it combined those 2 cars quite well.

What’s ur neighbors do
@@lilymae1030 owns a large factory
These cool reviews of rare and awesome car brands like Genesis and Alpina, should be longer!😣
jakub how could you. us android users needed you to represent T.T
Android can always win me back. I'm loyal to cameras
@@TheStraightPipes might i suggest a pixel phone?
@@MobiusGT you can suggest it but I had a Pixel. The video quality sucks and doesn’t shoot 24fps
@@TheStraightPipes Fair enough, New galaxies rumored to come out in january, lets home they don't disappoint :)
@@TheStraightPipes On a side note, i just wanna let you and Yuriy know that i think its awesome how often you guys respond to comments and tweets. I can really feel the love
This proves how great alpina is awesome machine
Great review! Is it just me or does that paint need a good detail? I saw alot of surface scratches
Ayy Jakub with that Snatch clothing hoodie. Must be a 4wd 24/7 fan!
I reviewed a new 4 series yesterday and I have a vid coming soon to my channel about it and it reminded me of y’all! Y’all are role models 😊
Alpina builds their cars and engines from scratch btw in the same factory where the corresponding BMW model would be built. So in the case of the XB7, that would be Spartanburg, USA, while the B7 is built in Dingolfing, Germany. That is why Alpina is recognized as a independent manufacturer, they don't just tune existing cars.
I just hate that all the new BMWs interior looks the same. Same goes for Mercedes interiors. Their whole line up is just a size different.
That's always been their philosophy since like forever
You guys kill these reviews, keep it up🔥🔥
I would take the RSQ8 over this, just has more of a beast look now that I’ve seen both on the road, but if you need 7 seats then this is the one for sure.
Can't wait for it to depreciate in 5 years! 💯💯💸
"It takes a lot of time"
Shows Rolex
Yeah, I knew they made good money with all the views they get, but I didn't know it was Rolex money.
I loved that cheeky placement haha. I noticed his Pepsi GMT Master II awhile ago, it's a great watch!

@@TheStraightPipes That's bomb! Congrats, dude. You earned it :)
Absolutely nothing wrong with going to Apple from Android. I was on Android for 9 years and switched to an iPhone 12 Pro Max this year. Things just work better and it feels more polished. And lastly, I can actually shop for slightly older used cars now since more cars have been supporting Apple CarPlay for longer. Speaking of which, I need a review for the 812 Superfast from you guys :( dealers only let me drive for 30 minutes or so and it just isn't enough to really explore the car since I'm looking to get one for a daily driver.
very Rare and expensive Car in Germany but build with a very High Quality.
Yea and after 60K miles bmw breaks

Now that’s a pretty sweet ride I love the lowering Suspension on it that stance just makes it pop more and look aggressive great camera work guys looks awesome stay safe out there
If you look closely, there is actually a whole car behind the grill.
Cant wait to buy this..
20 years from now..
Who is here before 1K views 👍🤘
That song for the intro is BADASS
The A in their logo resembles highway, i think =))
Yes and it’s still a German company so the A looks like a highway or let’s say the A looks keine the Autobahn ;)
Thee most IMMENSE BMW
As a X-T4 user I approve of this video. 🤪
I wish I could say the same of the looks of that Alpina. 🙈
Alpina looks way nicer than that said excuse of an suv Cadillac makes
@@andeleputo89 sadly a low bar.
Can I just say, stances out cx-9 is the coolest people hauler SUV ever
You meant to say “when you’re rich, but still have a sense of taste and style”. Because let’s be honest, the Maybach versions all look a little...kitschy.
A little? 👀
@@rare6499 I was trying to be polite ;)
I was driving home one day and one of these was in front of me. Same color as their review car. I did a double take. Didn’t even know they made a Alpina x7.
Canada: ALPINA
US: AL-PIE-NA
ugh no.. unless you're in Tennessee or maybe Carolina... AL - Peen - Uh everywhere else here.
XB7, the evolution of X7.
