Please stop releasing fake "spy shoots" we know they all are staged.
Do you think we are fools? |

Got to see it in a closed door preview last night. It really does look like a slightly beefed up X5. The model we saw only had 1 silver toddle switch on the lower right of the console for the full air ride suspension vs. the 2 shown in pictures. Messaging chairs sure were nice. Still not a ton of room behind the third row seats for storage, but definitely more leg room for 3rd row seats.

Same preview event
Me too for the preview. A very dark blue with dark tan seats. Beautiful interior. Seats were super comfortable. Large Grill did not grow on me, in person. More presence than X5, and looks larger--especially in height. Agree on the space behind the third row, but more knee room in second row than X5--I think that is where the extra length went. This is truly a Limo, except for the climb up when getting in the vehicle. For the Limo market, it needs a kneeling suspension when stopped. It'll be a big hit in China, if a step ladder is included. Extra width is apparent on the inside, but I never felt that my X5 was too narrow. This thing is so wide that it will feel like an Escalade in the parking lot. I suspect it will rob a LOT of 7-series and hi-spec X5 sales.

3rd row will fold down, but not removable.

It's the same exact thing, sat in it last month at the 8er release party. The interior of the 8 looks nothing like it.

I get that they need to test it somewhere but this is the silliest thing I've seen. A massive truck on the ring. BMW has come a long ways since the days of the Ultimate Driving Machine.

They don't test the X7 on the ring in order to calibrate it like a sports car; rather they test the X7 on the ring in order to cross-check, verify & validate the integrity of the whole vehicle chassis and chassis parameters (including suspension). The Nurburgring Nordschleife is a circuit filled with so many elevation changes, corners, surface variations etc. which punish/put a lot of stress on a vehicle's chassis components thus making it one of the best places on earth to verify and fine tune the chassis integrity of a car.

My last sentence should not be construed as flattering. An X7 is not how I would interpret the Ultimate Driving Machine. My M2 is closer to it by a long shot. My GT4 is even closer. I know I'm living in the past since they gave up that moto years ago. It just pains me to see BMW to stray further from their roots. |

The latest sighting of the G07 BMW X7 brings us the best look yet at a nearly production interior, with a dash design in the vein of the new interior styling introduced by the new 8 Series. Some of the plastic trim pieces still look pre-production quality, but check out the beautiful two-tone leather and alcantara headliner and 3-row seating. The first ever BMW X7 will have its online reveal next month, followed by a reveal at the LA Auto Show in November.

Seats don't look that nice... perhaps its the awful two-tone colour choice.
Need to sort out 7-series in iDrive. That won't look good on day one. Meh!
