I measured the aviator at the la auto show and looked at the specs. From what I recall of the cargo space behind row 3z. Aviator is bigger , the opening is wider and the distance between 3rd row and back of the vehicle is superior.
3rd row of aviator has slightly less legroom. 31" be 33"
Overall length is 199 vs 203 with aviator comparable in interior space vs x7 with a smaller exterior package.
Aviator is 400 hp 3.0L. Bmw is 335hp but I think the bmw engine is way under rated.
Price: aviators starting price is like 52k but that's for rwd and can get into 80k plus range. Based on the build I looked at, similarly equipped aviator was less than but not enough to go aviator over x7.
