Random statistic I learned from this video. X5/X6/X7 sales combined only make up 1/9th of total BMW sales. But he presents it in such a way that it sounds like it happens so often "Every 9th BMW sold is an X5/X6/X7"

No mention of Lasers.
Also even if they do it would still be the underpowered garbage they throw at us here in NA. I know it's not their choice but one could have helped push the regulations ahead of the LCI update. |

Every 9th in units sold, but in terms of sales $$$ the percentage will be higher, given X5/6/7 are towards the top end within BMW. I don’t know if those numbers are publicly available, but could be 20 to 30% of sales then?

So while the $ percentage may be higher as a result of higher prices compared to sales volumes, I'm not sure that it'll be significantly so. But who knows... don't really have that statistic available.

So after watching the video, things I like compared to my '22 X7:
• 23" wheels • getting rid of the shifter • the entire cockpit display Things I didn't like: • well, the obvious front end • the nipples on the dashboard, I mean vent controls. |

Yeah I think they're quoting global sales. Shows how SUV crazy the US is.

It seems to vary. If you compare the highest volume trim (x5 40i xdrive) to the 540i xdrive, they're nearly identical in price. If you compare 740i xdrive to the equivalent x7, the 740i is almost $15k more expensive.

Though on test drives I could definitely feel that BMW did some cost cutting on the X7... the 7 sedan just feels like a better place to be. A bit quieter, more leather (e.g. on the B pillar), more metallized buttons & trim (the X7 has a bunch of black plastic on the doors), better interior design/appearance overall, and the great ceramic controls instead of the garbage standard iDrive controls (this was the most surprising thing to me when test driving BMWs... $70k to $100k cars, yet (even with glass controls) the iDrive knob feels & sounds like a cheap plasticky mechanism, worse quality than the switchgear in my Honda Civic). But the X7 leaves you with $10k more in your bank account which compensates for the deficiencies, imo it's a slightly better value than the 7. However, the back seats of the 7 not folding down makes it incredibly impractical... my Civic Coupe easily carried IKEA boxes for 95% of the furniture in my house, whereas the 7 would struggle with anything beyond the smallest items. Which made the X7 the better option for me, and I think also for the vast majority of people - better price & value, and much more practical. |

But one thing we can reasonably assume.. the X5 40i represents the highest volume in sales of all of these cars. It's very similar in price to the sedan counterpart.

They're not slow, you're just moving too fast.
