Great ride, technology lacking, in shop alot

I have a 2019 X7 fully loaded. I love that the car is quiet and handles great. It basically drives itself, when their are no errors. I have had it for 3 months and it has been to the shop 3 times for technology/safety features not working. Currently it has a camera malfunction error and needs to go back for a 4th time. For the price of the vehicle, it seems unacceptable to be in the shop so much in so little time. I really have concerns about short term, never mind any long term reliability. Three stars if for the powerful, quiet engine and smooth ride. If there was a separate reliability and technology field it would be one star.

A+ in Luxury, Looks and Tech, B in handling

I've owned all the major luxury brands and wanted a large SUV with three rows that looked amazing, interesting to drive and all tricked out. Cayenne and Rover would be at the top except for the third row. The new Escalade/Yukon/Tahoe would have been considered but did not come out when I was shopping. I like the looks of those, but not sure about handling. I chose the BMW X7 over the Mercedes GLS because I loved the low grumble of the X7 even with the base engine and the handling seemed less boring than the GLS. The newer GLS also seemed very muted in design and not commanding as the current trend is. I bought a one year old 2019 X7 with M sport, 2nd row captain chairs, upgraded leather/multi way seats, parking assistance, cold weather, premium package and M sport brakes. I use this car for all family activities from kayaking, hiking, soccer practice, road trips, not just a garage show item. I've had the X7 for a year now and here are my thoughts: Pros: The luxury of the seats, material and finish is amazing. Every time I close the door I feel like I am in a bank vault. The exterior look with M-Wheels is amazing, love just looking at it, even with the large grill. Seems almost all large SUVs have massive grills and large pick-ups are getting even bigger. The X7 facia is almost small in comparison with the Escalade. The interior room is good and seats are amazing. Hard to go to any other car after getting used to the massage seats The split tailgate is super useful with kids and outdoor activities. Can't imagine how we changed shoes after a muddy hiking trip before The braking is best among many cars I've had outside of Porsche and even comes close to that. Lighted sky roof and third row sky roof is a nice party feature Infotainment and Apple Car play is good, with touch or knob feature. Voice command is useless like pretty much every car I have had. Updated BMW app seems good, with send to car feature now available. Parking maneuverability is good and 360 feature with memory for garage front cam is handy. Minus The handling while I said interesting, it is not super. There is incredible body movement on turns and anything outside of Sport mode should be avoided on freeways and winding roads. With Sport Mode it is decent. I feel like I am driving an 85 Cadillac Fleetwood with the X7 comfort mode engaged and driving on winding roads. Kind of strange on a Beamer. It is a tall 5000+ lb SUV, but still. Did I mention head room is amazing? The acceleration with base engine from 0-40 is lackluster in city driving. Unless you push hard most cars leave me at the signal light. Wish I had a bit more starting juice after spending this amount of money. The power on freeway passing is much better and totally enough power there. Again Sport modes helps. The front doors have an aggressive radius versus straight edge so I always need to watch my face when I open the door in a tight parking space so I don't get hit when opening. The glove box is the smallest I have seen and next to useless. Honda and more practical choices obviously win the storage test. Captain seat do not fold flat. Not planning on using the X7 for carpentry, but the occasional airport Costco purchase might be nice without delivery. Overall a solid car that loves the highway and long trips, not so much in the city. Would I buy it again - Yes. If your driving is all city, might want to consider Q7. If you want pure size and command then maybe Escalade/Yukon. For slightly more space MB GLS. The X7 is good balance of luxury and some interesting drive dynamics, though not typical BMW sporty.

BMW X7 Brand New Lemon!!

Disgruntled Customer, 01/28/2020
2019 BMW X7 xDrive50i 4dr SUV AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)

I purchased a brand new x7 501i, and I’ve had nothing but problems since day one. It was over 100k and brand new, but I had to take it in twice for a bad alternator. I then had to bring it in for a recall for the rear view camera. I now have to bring it in for a fourth time due to issues with the chassis. This is beyond ridiculous for a brand new car from any manufacturer and especially embarrassing for such a reputable brand as BMW. This car sucks.

High maintenance costs

I have a 2019 x7 40i with 35k miles. First off, we are on our third set of tires. This is a leased vehicle. It is ridiculous that we have had to replace the tires twice at 1500-2000 dollars each time. BMW needs to address this or include coverage in lease/finance options. We have owned or leased bmw’s for over 10 yrs and this is the first vehicle we have ever had this problem with. Secondly, the check engine light has been coming on and off. Took it to the dealer and was told the fan blades behind the front grill are physically broken and not covered under warranty. There has been no known damage to the car, so this happened from normal use and the dealership refuses to cover it under warranty. I am very disappointed in bmw. The x7 is a fantastic car to drive, but high maintenance cost during a 3yr lease will have me looking at other luxury brands for my next lease.

I have had several luxury SUV (SAV for BMW fans) and I am coming out of two Audi Q7's which are great cars for the money. I have also had MBenz GLS 450 which doesn't hold a candle to the new X7 M Sport. The exterior is strong but sort of like the MB, but he interior is something else. Everything you touch feels great and the ride and handling are very sporty for a suv this big. I got the 5.0 because it just sound so cool, but it does drink gas. But then hey if you are going to spend six figures for a car you can't complain about mileage. around town 17 on the highway 22 so its not that bad. Never had a BMW before but this is the best big suv on the market. An MB Gls 63 cost at least $20k more and looks old and tired.

1) After the announcement of launch by BMW I waited for almost 2 years to get this car. 2) I ordered the car on 2/28/19 with a delivery promise in 4 weeks. I got car in 11 weeks instead. 3) Paid 2200 $ extra for entertainment system, they were not working from get go and Bluetooth headphones are not connected. They kept my car for 4 days and car came back with even more problems with entertainment center. It takes many many phone calls to know about updates on all these issues

X7 a Masterpiece

My feedback is based on comparing my 2019 X7 to previously and currently owned cars: 2017 LC200, 2018 RX350, 2011 Toyota Alphard, 2011 Range Rover Sport. I currently purchased a 4.0 X7 and I have no words to express how beautiful, comfortable and responsive the car is. The technology is so advanced that I needed to attend the BMW encore class to fully enjoy all the features and functions. The ride is exceptional, very comfortable and the engine is very responsive. I thought that the Rx350, RRS and Toyota Alphard were comfortable but it pales in comparison with the X7. The suspension control of the X7 really makes a difference. If compared the the LC200, of course the off road capability of the LC200 is way better but if compared to driving on a freeway and surface road - the X7 proves to be the better choice and Im sure an owner of a X7 wouldn’t be taking the car off roading a lot. Fuel consumption is fare for its body and engine size. Driving it on the freeway is comparable to the driving comfort of the RX350 and RRS.

A true luxury SUV that's fun to drive

It's is rare to drive a large/luxury SUV and really enjoy the experience. My 40i has plenty of power and those twin turbos kick-in when needed. This is a very comfortable auto...it may take a while to get your profiles set to the individual drivers' needs but it's worth the time. We really like having key funtions still controlled, if you wish via buttons!

I had the X7 for 2 years (2019) and 42,000 miles. Going through a school zone my steering AND brakes went COMPLETELY out as kids were crossing. Luckily there was a bend in the road and I was going uphill. I went off the road (not by my doing). A non-event. BMW acknowledged there was a "software" issue. I sold the SUV immediately! DO NOT BUY THIS VEHICLE...I am a 61 year old man. You have been warned. Oh by the way, BMW did NOT stand behind the vehicle..[contact info removed] <bernhard.kuhnt@bmwna.com> VP of BMW or Caitlin De Siervo, Executive Customer Relations and Services [contact info removed]....National Service Director....they are both useless </bernhard.kuhnt@bmwna.com>

Superior SUV

This is an affordable LUXURY SUV. I have owned 3 Mercedes Benz GLS-450 (2007, 2013, 2017). They were very good vehicles and I occasionally use the 3rd row seats. I have never owned a BMW because of the stiff ride and interior noise level. The X7 was quieter than the GLS and the ride a bit smoother. The price for comparable vehicles with identical options was significantly lower for the X7. I was also ready for a change. MB does little in the way of cosmetic change. My 2017 certainly had more features and technology than the 2007 model but it was essentially unchanged inside and out.

The X7 separates itself from the current full size SUV’s with a third row. It has a fresh design keeping in mind the BMW heritage. It drives like a smaller suv and gives you the BMW driving experience. Technology is up to date with all the newest features.

All aspects of the car are impressive, except for the driver assistance system's occasional awkwardness. This may be an issue specific to my vehicle. Despite this minor flaw, the sheer luxury, performance, and presence of this car are unmatched.
