Personal opinion, I think BMW's X vehicles are pretty near flawless overall and would easily pick any of them over the competition. And I don't mean nitpicking the small things like iDrive settings - I could jump into any of them and drive and be happy.

Pretty much and it's got a lot of flexibility. I had my entire family in it this morning cruising around in comfort mode and then tore up the roads headed to the mountains in sport+. It has a very dynamic personality and that's what I love about it.

I hated this SAV initially, but after seeing it on the road it has grown on me just as the new 7 has. I really like it.

It's like: I don't like it, then it's not to bad actually and before you know it it's in the garage

It looks menacing for sure. Don't agree with the giant grills language that BMW is doing but for the X7 is somewhat makes sense. Definitely a huge vehicle but if you're looking for a vehicle to haul the family and gear for road trips it's perfect.

Eh... I like it but if I'm going to deal with the inconvenience of parking this thing, I'm going with a truck with supercrew space. I'm biased as I have a supercrew F-150 and these vehicles are tough to park in a crowded lot.

I like Joe's reviews - down to earth that I can relate to. The M50i in a dark color is gorgeous.

I like the way the Cayenne drives, it's just too expensive over the equivalent BMW/Audi/Mercedes. |

Could not agree more. X5 is near flawless. X3MC and X4MC are being happily driven by former M3/M4 drivers without any reservations. For American market, X7 is perfectly positioned.

The X7 has tremendous road presence. One of the few BMW's I like regardless of M Sport or Luxury Line, as long as it has 22's. When I am transporting 5 in My G05, I think to myself maybe I should have went with the X7.

Very nice large SUV. If I were in the market for a mammoth SUV, I'd likely have to drive the new GLS and forthcoming completely new RR but BMW did a fantastic job on this. Interior is not as nice as GLS

All it takes is to see one good looking version to shift you. That's what happened with the X7, 7 and G20 to me.
