Is it due to the styling of vehicles that have barely hit dealers...or due to numbed down driving dynamics and/or a simple desire for change?

Me in the third row

Anyone that said the kidneys are humongous, need to obersve the Lexus’ grill.

Nice interior color,are you able to post a picture of the interior cargo space with the 2nd and 3rd row seats stored fully flat.

JayPichardo · 02-18-2019, 05:59 PM

Everything folded.

JayPichardo · 02-18-2019, 06:23 PM

There is a second cargo cover for when the third row is folded.

Kdavis61 Thanks for sharing. I really like the looks of the X7. It should sell very well in this segment.

Hey NH_F36... how tall are you? Is the 2nd row pushed all the way back in that photo of you in the 3rd row? Trying to figure out how tall a person I can fit in the 3rd row. I have 4 kids -ages 3, 6, 8, 10. How easy is it to get back there if you get the 2nd row captains chairs vs the bench?

Definitely styling. I loved my F85 X5M and have had 10 BMWs over 17 years. My lease ended in January and would have done a short term lease on a G05 X5 until the next X5M comes out but couldn't get past the grill. It's even bigger on the X7 and LCI 7 series.

My opinion is that BMW are still great driving cars, the electronics work well and they are relatively well priced compared to the competition. However, the front end styling is going in a direction that I can't stand.

I ended up spending a lot more on a Cayenne Turbo...

Absolutely can not wait to see one in person!

X7 isn't really much of a looker IMO. It's handsome but the Range Rover and upcoming GLS (based on spy photos) will be more attractive. With that being said, the X7's interior appears to be of superior quality. Really splitting hairs there though.

Faulty, biased judgement. The new GLS has not been released and you already know that it will be more attractive than the X7? Be more realistic.

akap007 · 02-18-2019, 10:32 PM

Awesome pics. Can you tell what color the leather dashboard is? The ivory white seats are supposed to be paired with a blue dashboard but I’m wondering if it’s switched to black with the m-sport package.

Great question.

Also, is the headliner Anthracite or a very dark blue? There is conflicting info/pics out there about that...

That Lexus is hideous, straight up. One can argue over the proportions of the X7 details (I like it a lot) but that Lexus should have been erased after the first sketch.

Also, X7 is smaller than I figured.
