The X7 checks every other box in terms of what you're looking for in a 7-seater.
If BMW made this a sportier SUV, we would be hearing how nobody cares at this price point and something of its size. Now that BMW has focused on the people that will buy it, it's not sporty enough.
The X7 is by no means perfect, but some of these reviews are just not getting the purpose of this vehicle.

I'll be the first to criticize BMW for lazy driving dynamics but you are spot on when it comes to the X7. All that matters is if it drives better than competitors. At the end of the day probably 0% of people in this segment care about driving dynamics beyond a feeling of overall stability and good ride quality.
Car&Driver, of course, had to throw shade about a meaningless metric in this segment.
