First time poster and first time BMW owner, delete if not allowed.
I live in a world where the wife drives the fun car, and I drive the family hauler. I dont know how this happened, as I am the performance enthusiast of the family. I am not a brand loyalist, but buy based on features/specs (and reviews). After weeks of watching every, and reading every, review and spec between the X7 and it's competitors - last night I purchased an XB7. Luckily my local BMW dealership had 2 in stock, and one of them was with a color I could live with.
First time owning a white vehicle. I am still not a fan of white, but on this car I feel like it looks good due to the contrast with the dark trim. I am used to driving American 3 row SUVs, and this one feels small - in a good way. I prefer the smaller dimensions and the way that it handles like a car on high speed turns. I am probably the only reviewer who thinks the X7 is small.
I can't really test out the acceleration as the RPMs are software limited for first few hundred miles. However, the ride is plush, and the handling the best I have seen in a 3 row vehicle. It's handling and ride is like jekyll and hyde based on the driving mode.
Happy new BMW owner here. Sorry for the dusk pics, its mineral white.
