New video: X7 vs GLS review by The Straight Pipes
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Can anyone comment on the problems they were having with the X7 lane-drifting too much using adaptive at highway speeds? |

You can set up how early the lane keeping assist to react. The issue has been the automatic lane keeping or Assistant Pro is a little aggressive. I haven't had a lame drift issue. But BMW is contiously updating software for better/smoother response. I got an update yesterday during oil change that in addition to other software fixes it enhances lane keeping. At least that's what the notes say.

A brave man specs an M3 or M5 in purple. A colour blind man specs an X7 in purple.

They didn’t dive into interior quality at all. That’s where every single Merc falls flat compared to BMW and Audi.
Sit in the GLS and you’ll see more hard plastic in the cabin, notably on the lower half of the doors. The plastic beneath the seats isn’t flush with the leather either. The Bimmer, even without Individual pkg, uses higher quality materials and is better built. Let’s not forget that every GLS on a dealer lot has Mb Tex whereas BMW rarely stocks cars with fake leather. Merc interiors are overrated. The designs are tacky especially at night, and the quality isn’t there. |

Cerium gray doesn't work period. I don't understand why BMW insists on using it, looks more like copper and gets water stains easily.

Agreed! Better off just doing gloss black and calling it a day.

To this day, I have no idea why BMW decided to abandon the body-coloured side mirrors and replaced it with black or cerium grey to match the grilles. This was a change for the sake of making a change and was no way required.

On my configuration, the only thing left in cerium is going to be the "X7" and "M50i" labels.
