BMW X7 M60 - I’ve Fallen in Love with an SUV!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- The X7 M60 is BMW's latest big-power luxury SUV, taking on the likes of the Range Rover Autobiography. But the BMW is cheaper, potentially easier to live with, and probably easier to insure than the competition.
In this video, John Marcar explores the insanity of a 530bhp 7-seat SUV and weighs up the odds of it possibly being good value.

So, the question is… would you choose the Range Rover of the BMW X7?? Check out John’s article here: driven.site/words/bmw-x7-m60-still-better-than-a-range-rover
X7. I’ve got the M40D with the Ultimate package. Basically every option ticked. Over 350 BHP, 750 NM torque and over 50mpg on a long run. It’s quick enough. I agree, the X7 is a daft, oversized, OTT car, I actually never liked SUVs before or large cars……. But went in 1 as a passenger and loved it.
@@jonb4248 that sounds like a superb choice!
I test drove both the range rover and x7 and GLS. And no matter how the sales person at the dealership tried to sell me how Range Rovers are just on another level of luxury, that the ride is incomparable, I just can't seem to tell much of a difference. The BMW rides just as well as the range rover, maybe the range is just a tad bit softer, but you crash over some bumps in the range rover, it's really annoying. BMW doesn't do that. In terms of drivability. BMW all day, every day... In many ways, the x7 is the PERFECT 3 row SUV...
Officially speaking... I probably shouldn't have favourites... but I completely agree with you. If it were me and my money, I'd be in an X7 every day - over the Range Rover. Thanks for watching! - John
@@driven.videos great review btw!
I agree about the value!
Rumour has it that John is *still* waiting for the seat motors to finish... 😊 14:32
I never thought I'd have 'John Marcar's buttocks individual going up & down' on my UA-cam bingo card... but here we are! 😂😂😂
He was unusually proud of that feature. It’s all he spoke about for a week!
Let's get this trending... #JohnMarcarLovesSUVs 😂
🤣
*As long as they have Turbocharged V8’s
I have to work on these quite often at work as they love electrical problems, not surprised with the fact they have almost 50 separate control units. That’s over double what a top spec 1 series has.
I like driving them, but working on them is a pain.
That’s interesting to know. Perhaps unsurprising with all the gadgets. Maybe John’s aspirations for a 2nd/3rd hand one in a few years time isn’t the best idea after all. 😬
@@driven.videos I'd say definitely avoid any of the diesels, they've got 2 or 3 recalls at the moment for anything from before mid 2023 related to the EGR cooler's (yet again) - For the petrol's as well, it's little hiccups with software on older models from say 2020/21 or so, nothing too major, but out of warranty could get expensive. Also the electric 2nd and 3rd row of seats love to lose calibration. But it's the same with all higher end BMW's really.
Nice job on this review.
@@johnvillamil3138 thanks, John! - John
So many incorrect facts in this review it’s quite hard to watch
@@LudovicoNiccolini hit us with them! We’d love to hear what we got wrong 👍🏼
Why so negative at the beginning? Quite annoying...there are people who don't want the small peasant cars but wan't a proper car with a proper engine. Are car guys going woke now or what is happening?
I find it amazing how many people have interpreted the opening line as negative and taken offence to it. The Review is literally titled "I've fallen in love with an SUV." It's a positive review. Just because I've made a personal observation about my preference in car styles doesn't mean it needs to be interpreted as an attack. Also, I think you might be mixed up on the word "woke" - regardless, thanks for watching and commenting! - John
