We’re looking at a 2020 BMW X7 xDrive40i. Curious how reliability has been for people who have owned on specifically the 2020+ model years of the xDrive 40i. Any engine, electronic, or any other problems? Thanks.
I often wonder if people give your reviews a thumbs down because they just don’t like the vehicle. Because honestly your reviews are point on. They can be partial in what the like. But let’s call a spade a spade . Keep up the great reviews and dedication
Hi Joe. I noticed you weren’t to happy about the 3rd row seating. I agree there are better 3rd row seatings for a luxury suv, but for the leg room which is the most important feature for a 3rd row, you are above average in hight at 6 ft., and your knees had at least 3 inches of room to the back portion of the back seat. I am 6’ 3,” and I could probably fit. Looks like anyone under 6 ft will do fine back there. Thanks for your reviews Joe, they’re really entertaining, you capture my attention, and are they’re very informative.
Great show giving the price of all your test vehicle(s) at the same time; when you sit down in the driver's seat for your introduction of the interior. I totally appreciate the continuity. Thanks
This review helped my wife and I get into ours. Just drove it from Texoma to South Florida. Amazingly boring drive on highways but the vehicle is very very comfortable!! Thanks
I’m thinking about buying this car, was wondering if any aftermarket comes out with slotted/drilled rotors for it. Also if there’s any company making carbon fiber kits for it
This one of my favorite suvs out there along with the x5. U deserve everything joe because the work u put in to give us great content and the way u explain everything is in point stay safe and let's zonc coronavirus out of here and stay safe.
Joseph Payton x series is the worst pos car ever made. When it hits 100k miles, u might as well lit it up with a gallon of gas. Otherwise it will empty your bank in repairs. Wouldnt want if its free(high miles).
i love my X7 40i...plenty of power for the size. Drove the M50i and couldn't justify the 20k increase for the performance difference in such a large vehicle.
Hi great review! How would you compare this to the ‘21 Yukon Denali? Can kids climb into the 3rd row from the 2nd row in the X7? Those chairs look a bit tight.
I am not an SUV guy . But I will say this is absolutely gorgeous looking Now beyond all the size , beauty and amenities . I hear from those who drive BMW ‘s. Man they break down quickly and often. And they cost a lot more than it’s competitors. I guess with a lease you swallow the pill for a while. But I can’t . Great review. It was better than visiting the dealership
I had the same ding - at that price, why not have ventilated seats in the rear? How do you think this compares to the Lincoln Aviator (2021) Grand Touring?
@@RaitisRides Thanks so much! I find it hard to get a comfortable seat. I thought the Merino leather was really nice in the BMW, but usually when you add massage, the seat gets firmer. I test drove the Lincoln Aviator GT and the Black Label GT to compare the seats. The Black label has Savannah leather and was a bit softer than the premium leather in the regular GT. The seat felt better in the BMW, but I don't think they use the space as wisely as the Lincoln, nor have as many storage areas in the front and middle rows. It's a tough decision! I also thought the ride was a bit more fun in the Lincoln (the GT with the pirelli tires!)
Like the review but u made the third row look ridiculously hard to get into.. and the trunk opening functions + seat fold down functions operate easier than u made them look.
The X7 is nice but Escalade and Navigator (even though theyre actually bigger than the X7) have pretty much closed the gap in luxury with the Germans Its literally now just a question of which badge do you want and do you need the larger road presence of a Lincoln or Cadillac
@@joecool9739 Go look it up, BMWs reliability has gone up on the newer vehicles. GM trucks have failing engines and transmissions meanwhile...idk about you, but that's the worst kind of failure and unreliability. Looks like you haven't done your research.
Wow almost 300k ‼️ that will happen by Sunday maybe ? Joe & Lori have worked so diligently for this next milestone ‼️ it’s exciting I wish we could all gather and meet them! And celebrate for a few hours.
Interestingly Zf transmission in Honda Pilot hasn’t been as reliable or smooth. The revised version in the 2019 seem to have corrected some of the issues. The Honda zf acts like the Audi zf. Somehow bmw always gets the transmission right and shift seemlessly.
I love the color and the 22" rims! Not digging the interior color but do love panoramic roof and roof in the 3rd row! Very impressive indeed....but getting into the 3rd row not cool dude...not cool at all question though where is the USB's in the 3rd row? If there is no USB's in the 3rd row that is definitely ZONK.
Me an the wife just bought one an love the truck. Not a whole lot of trunk space but the truck hauls ass. The all wheel drive makes the truck move like it has more power, an the truck handles really well.
JOE ~ that is ONE honking big SUV. I like the color, stance, pretty sweet - I wish it were 535HP with a 55inch info-tainment screen, etc. lol. I saw some leaked photos of the 2022 Lexus & BMW line ups - the entire front of their new models is nothing but grill (goofy face). vent. seats? cup coolers? oh YEAH ! ! ! 15:24 I like when you break the rear seat plastic cover thingy hahaha. it's fully loaded - only zonks for interior is no vent. mid seats & smallish shift paddles. very livable - it's basically a living room on wheels. seems like a smooth quiet rid with just enough pick up & go to pass people. what a great report - Joe Raiti is crushing it everyone, this is THE channel. - tony
Joe often mentions the rear window wiped being up top instead of on the lower portion of window but who (which manufacturer) does it that way? I don’t know the answer.
I don’t think the Q7 is even in the same realm as the X7, the Q7 is around the size of the X5 and this is a lot larger than the Q7. Audi needs to readjust the sizing in the Q7, I am deciding either the X7 or X5 and not sure what to pick as I like the styling of the X7 more than the X5.
If the 2020 BMW x7 is the awesome luxury suv what we compare the 2020 Mercedes-benz GLS 450 what is the best luxury suv I think the bmw is the best because when you search something like music is go fast then the 2020 Mercedes-benz GLS but when you ask something to the bmw is go slow then the Mercedes but when you hear the sound is awesome
I have to agree with you on the 3rd row seating. It was poorly executed. I am in the market for a compact luxury SUV and have been on the fence with getting a 3rd row because I was concerned about entry- I thought that BMW would have the easiest- especially at that price point! I’ll give them a clue- why not let the second row slide forward on rails like in mini-vans? Makes it much easier for adults to get in and to get to the kids of needed. If they improve that, I would reconsider. But for now the X7 is no longer on my shopping list.
Joe, amazing video..well, at that price point I'd go for a SQ7..the dollar/return is more attractive. I just checked at carmax, there are a few X7 v8 available for less than 80k USD and very low mileage, my POV buying a pre-owned one is a better deal given the 1st buyer will take the biggest depreciation hit.

My parents took delivery of their x7 a few days ago! My dad watched your reviews and decided to buy one. Great job!
That is so awesome Henry! Please tell him I said congrats and hello!
Buy me one pls
I will get one when I hit the jackpot!
Its a used one right??
what color bro i personally like white
This is one of the best-looking BMW without the chrome trims I've ever seen. And the kidney grille size are just perfect.
Who else noticed at 18:05 the vehicle lowered when Raiti put it in sport mode!!! That's badass!!!
You are so right about that Gio.
Yay
That’s a standard thing that happens in sports mode for most cars.
Never was a BMW fan (Audi through and through), but with their list of recent cars: 340M, X4M etc... they have been REALLY stepping their game up!
Best personality on UA-cam as far as car reviewers go. Keep it up brother.
Thanks Brian for saying that! Thanks for having my back!
I don’t see anyone working harder than Joe and the team. And he still has time to interact with viewers!
Yeah he’s the best!
Not disputing this, but who else did you compare Raiti's personally with?
Yessir, definitely the best!

Already have this car almost a year. Such a nice allrounder. Nice review btw!
Joe sometimes you don't upload what I wanted. But I still watch because you kill it man. You tell it like it is.
It's not a car review until I see that Raiti sweat go'in.
You better believe it! Hard work at its best! LOL
Joe you always do a great job reviewing. Keep up the good work.
That is so awesome of you to say! You got it!
I freaking love that SUV😍. No complaints here at all.

Joe Raiti you have the best job in the world reviewing these beauties, I’m very envious of you! Thanks for the great content, I love watching !
This will be the fastest depreciating BMW ever.
Almost every car depreciates quickly even a Toyota
That is a good point.
@@davidlegkodukh6969 This is true.
@Gabe Hernandez Excellent point because so may are leases.
@Gabe Hernandez they do. A lot. Wealthy people rarely overpay. Poor people always do.
Beauty of a BMW. These luxury car prices are getting absurd though
You are so right for that!
Great show giving the price of all your test vehicle(s) at the same time; when you sit down in the driver's seat for your introduction of the interior. I totally appreciate the continuity. Thanks

Quick question. Which SUV’s have ventilated mid row or back seats?
This still my dream BMW X7 SUV I can buy.
Joe can you do a comparison with the 2020 Lexus ES 350 ultra luxury vs 2020 Toyota Camry
This one of my favorite suvs out there along with the x5. U deserve everything joe because the work u put in to give us great content and the way u explain everything is in point stay safe and let's zonc coronavirus out of here and stay safe.

Regarding those rear tires, I think I’ve come across an x6 with 325/35 rear. Bmw is just mad.
i love my X7 40i...plenty of power for the size. Drove the M50i and couldn't justify the 20k increase for the performance difference in such a large vehicle.
torment12345......me n my wife just bought one as well an it hauls ass. The alpine version is coming out later
We have a 2020 X7 and 2019 M5. Best of both worlds. 😁
Way to go man!
Not bad.
You must be rich or something
Nathan Pettigrew or in debt to their necks...who knows
@@nathanpettigrew1557 Not rich. Just successful.
Hi great review! How would you compare this to the ‘21 Yukon Denali? Can kids climb into the 3rd row from the 2nd row in the X7? Those chairs look a bit tight.
This is absolutely my favorite car ever. Not much to complain.
Thank you for showing mid row capt seats! I have been dying to see this! My daughter is 6’ and only 13 so seeing the fit is great.
No problem Leisha!
One more thing! Please review the Volvo XC90
I can’t decide between it and the x7.....
I just wanted to remind you about the Toyota tacoma trd pro .
It is going to be a while because the pandemic has screwed up production.
WRONG CATEGORY
Toyota is a pickup, not a SUV and far from luxurious
I am not an SUV guy . But I will say this is absolutely gorgeous looking Now beyond all the size , beauty and amenities . I hear from those who drive BMW ‘s. Man they break down quickly and often. And they cost a lot more than it’s competitors. I guess with a lease you swallow the pill for a while. But I can’t . Great review. It was better than visiting the dealership
Raiti is the best reviewer out there!!!
I love it the saddle interior is the best it's beautiful. You truly are the best.
Super nice inside and out. Great review!
I guess those "hockey sticks" is fuctional. Reduces the wind noise for passanger and driver near doors?
You are correct!
Pulling that top lever & sliding the power seat forward gives you more room. Plus I believe the 50 & M50 gives you tear cooled seats.
I had the same ding - at that price, why not have ventilated seats in the rear? How do you think this compares to the Lincoln Aviator (2021) Grand Touring?
I would go Aviator Black Label.
@@RaitisRides Thanks so much! I find it hard to get a comfortable seat. I thought the Merino leather was really nice in the BMW, but usually when you add massage, the seat gets firmer.

Like the review but u made the third row look ridiculously hard to get into.. and the trunk opening functions + seat fold down functions operate easier than u made them look.
Will you be doing a review on the SQ7 and maybe 1 vs. the X7??
Hi, can you kindly show us how the headlamps and daylight running lamps turns on, you usually skip that part.... thanks 🙏🏿
The X7 is nice but Escalade and Navigator (even though theyre actually bigger than the X7) have pretty much closed the gap in luxury with the Germans
Its literally now just a question of which badge do you want and do you need the larger road presence of a Lincoln or Cadillac
and then all the reliability issues with the escalade. Not sure about Lincoln
@@MikeyG003
What vehicle in that class is "reliable"?
@@joecool9739 x7 is more reliable than the gm trucks lol and is overall pretty reliable aside from the Japanese brands.
@@MikeyG003
Lmfaooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@joecool9739 Go look it up, BMWs reliability has gone up on the newer vehicles. GM trucks have failing engines and transmissions meanwhile...idk about you, but that's the worst kind of failure and unreliability. Looks like you haven't done your research.
Wow this car is a luxurious beast😃
You better believe it!
Wow almost 300k ‼️ that will happen by Sunday maybe ? Joe & Lori have worked so diligently for this next milestone ‼️ it’s exciting I wish we could all gather and meet them! And celebrate for a few hours.

Spare wheel place in bmw x7 or not, because gls offer spared wheel and place and third row bmw offer AC went or not
It was cool how u lower the vehicle...can u lower the vehicle is it the controls in the very back of the trunk..ima test drive one tomor
does it offer a tow package?
Have a GLS 63, and a BMW 540i, thinking which one to trade in for a X7 m50
Love that car
And can you try to do a review of a mercedes g-wagon and a lamborghini urus
Will do Maria!
So which interior was better in person, this or the Escalade?
My favorite large SUV! IMO the older version looked better...not into overly aggressive looking face. Thanks for awesome review!
You are so very welcome!
Joe, would you rather have the X7 or the GLS 450?
is this leather dash board or normal?
What color exterior and interior is the X7 in video?
Joe would you choose the x7 or the GV80
I would go FV80 but it is smaller.
A twinkie holder. Love this guy's personality.
Thanks Jessica for letting me share some laughs!
Is this phytonic blue?
You nailed it!
@@RaitisRides Ohhh .. Thanks 😃
Dro. Ir opinion which is best x7 vs GLS 450?
U also have usb in the third row. It towards the bottom of the seats in a cover with the hook.
Hello joe , do u recommend x7 over gls450 ? What’s ur opinion , Pls reply
I love the color and the 22" rims! Not digging the interior color but do love panoramic roof and roof in the 3rd row! Very impressive indeed....but getting into the 3rd row not cool dude...not cool at all question though where is the USB's in the 3rd row? If there is no USB's in the 3rd row that is definitely ZONK.
What’s the BMW name of the blue paint?
Are you going do the new Kia telluride 2021 nightfall
@ 5:14! "...these rear tire are 315s,...so you have a little bit of a steam-roller action going on here!" LOL
Joe you should do a review on the gas Volvo S90. There isn’t a good review for the gas one. Word is you have to special order it
Right
Joe Raiti Do a next review 2020 BMW X7 M50i
Me an the wife just bought one an love the truck. Not a whole lot of trunk space but the truck hauls ass. The all wheel drive makes the truck move like it has more power, an the truck handles really well.
Wow! Awesome Review. I actually bought the X7 M50i after this! Very good review. Keep it up brother!
I am so glad that I could share it with you!
When is the SQ7 review coming? I am torn between that and the X7 M5.0
JOE ~ that is ONE honking big SUV. I like the color, stance, pretty sweet - I wish it were 535HP with a 55inch info-tainment screen, etc.

Really nice car, but I would go with his German competitor the Mercedes GLS because of the exterior look. Great review Joe!👍👍
Interesting, I thought that the looks is one thing that is going for the X7 compared to GLS...
Me n my wife just bought an x 7 just like this but looked at the gls. We didn’t like the exterior of the gls as much
You are the best car reviewer
Bought a 2021 Escalade, engine had a defect, dealer bought it back. Now looking into X7’s.
Thanks for sharing that input from your ownership!
Hi Joe how are you I was wondering if you will do a review on the 2021 BMW X7 M50i have a good day
I love it but having such a big car in Europe is a pain :( I would go with the x3.
That is a very good point!
Beautiful interior and that blue color 😍
I imagine it would be like being inside an ultra-luxurious, slightly claustrophobic mini-bus.
You nailed it! LOL
I don’t think the Q7 is even in the same realm as the X7, the Q7 is around the size of the X5 and this is a lot larger than the Q7. Audi needs to readjust the sizing in the Q7, I am deciding either the X7 or X5 and not sure what to pick as I like the styling of the X7 more than the X5.
I suspect most owners will not take it off road but to Outback Steakhouse instead.
Good review as always!
If the 2020 BMW x7 is the awesome luxury suv what we compare the 2020 Mercedes-benz GLS 450 what is the best luxury suv I think the bmw is the best because when you search something like music is go fast then the 2020 Mercedes-benz GLS but when you ask something to the bmw is go slow then the Mercedes but when you hear the sound is awesome
Fullauto Upload! 😂 🔥🔥 Greetings from Germany
Oh yeah! Thanks brother!
did u say zf 8 speed ?
Thanks for the great review, I love your channel, keep it up :)
Can we get a 2021 Benz GLE with AMG package on Ratti’s rides? Would love to see it compared to this
I have to agree with you on the 3rd row seating. It was poorly executed.

Did you review the X3 for the lower entry price crowd ?
Raiti, take a vacation man, you are killing it right now!
X7 is the best SUV for 2020. Great video
Joe, amazing video..well, at that price point I'd go for a SQ7..the dollar/return is more attractive. I just checked at carmax, there are a few X7 v8 available for less than 80k USD and very low mileage, my POV buying a pre-owned one is a better deal given the 1st buyer will take the biggest depreciation hit.
Audis are so boring looking in my opinion.
Jooooooeeeeeee!!!! I want this one here man!!! Optioned just like this. Exceptional review man!!!
I can see you driving this one for sure!
Can you review the 2020 Toyota Supra?
Joe have you reviewed the X1 or X3 yet?
Nice Interior !!!!
Joe do you have a video on the new Nissan Ariya coming out? THANKS!
Man if people complained about the need escapes grill, this is a whole other ballpark haha
i have a 2020 x5 but am considering to upgrade to the x7 now.
I’m looking at both, why are you considering the change? More size?
Im so happy that they built a large luxury suv. What if bmw start doing vans? With atleast 30d engine and 200hp.
Yep, got one…
Can you do the Volvo XC90 please I vent see a good review for the gas one I like that one ?
