I think you are going to be proved wrong. At its price point, it will be a pretty big seller for the volume they want out of it.

I just sat in one. 3-4 kids between rows two and three is no problem at all. Especially with captains option cause that gives row three space to place their in-board leg/foot. Didn’t confirm if arm rests are removable or not, salesman didn’t know One thing of note for those with kids: the top tether hook for the captains’s chairs is located on the floor on the seat rail. So if you use that tether with a kids car seat you cant really move that seat at all Last edited by ppagiga; 02-16-2019 at 06:18 PM.. |

People complain about every new BMW model that comes out. When that model ends production people say how much better it is than the new model replacing it. Give it time. BMW will sell these things like hotcakes in the US and China. We have big roads over here and love big SUVs and Pickups. There is a reason BMW is making SUVs here.

The x7 will not put a dent in GM or Ford motors sales. Maybe it will scratch the surface. IMHO, the x7 will take away Merc,LR, and Lexus 570 crowd. We are 1-2 yrs away from replacing our Denali. The X7 will not be considered. The 3 i will consider- new GM Denali/Cadi, Navi, and Toyota LC. I need something more rugged than a BMW. Something that will take a beating inside (kids) and out. Just $.02.

BMW lost a sale (and I'm sure countless others) to another manufacturer that it otherwise could've had - BMW definitely would've been foolish not to develop the X7 no matter how opposite it may be to the ideals of our ever-decreasing group of "enthusiasts." And - as many others above so aptly point out - need the SUV sales (like Porsche) to keep offering the performance-oriented cars... |

As for the Japanese their stuff is just so dated at this point. Hard for me to pull trigger on an LC or LX or Sequoia when they are a decade old |

As someone that's pre-ordered one, personally its the best option in the segment. All of the domestics are just too damn big and the quality of service you're going to get from any of those dealerships is horrible.
We dont NEED a third row vehicle, but we live far from family and have 2 kids so when people fly in, this means we can carry everyone around without renting or driving a second car. 95% of the time, the third row will be folded down. Outside of that I just love the fit and finish of the new x5/x7. For so long BMW has had REALLY bad interiors. They finally are bringing something to market that can compete with Audi/Mercedes. I also owned the newest body style of Q7 and loved it, but there were just so many issues with it that Audi still needed to work out. Constant trips to the dealership for warranty work to be shoved into a Q3 was exhausting. I'm still waiting to see the RS7 though before I upgrade from my F80 M3. |
