Which model would you recommend as they are both stunning in my opinion.

Thanks
Probably the biggest difference is the second row seat. I love my X5, and don’t normally have back-seat passengers, but the back seat is abysmal. Doesn’t recline or move forward and back.

I did NOT want a third row of seats, I wanted cargo space for trips. But if you have adult sized kids or others who might be making trips with you in this car, the X5 isn't what you want.

I haven’t driven an x7 but they are essentially the same car, the x7 is about 3” longer, and has better rear seating options. And you don’t need the 50i motor. Trust me. Plenty of pep with the 40i.
