Can I ask how much second row legroom there is when the Captains Chair is positioned all the way back and all the way forward? I’m six feet and I want at least six inches between my knee and the back of the seat in front. |

If you don't mind, can you please set the driver's seat and the captains chair that is right behind it all the way to its back position and then measure the distance between the backside of the driver's seat and front edge of the captains chair seat?

Take a stroll to your local BMW dealer, bring a tape measure. Or, just trust someone who had one of the very first X7's off the line and has been intimately living with the thing for the last 40 months. |

If you only have 1 rear facing seat you'd just use the other side to get to the 3rd Row. If you have 2 rear facing seats, that's not good. Please go to YouTube and search for 'X7 car seats' for many videos on the topic. Even with front facing seats, they need to be very slim to make it all work be it Captain's or Bench. |

9.5”. Plenty of room for me, but I’m short. Sorry the pic is the wrong orientation — not sure why or how to correct.

This is going to be a highly subjective topic. I have 3 kids, 2 in boosters and 1 in a forward facing. For me it was a no brainer to get the bench so they can all be in the same row. If I didn't have 3 kids (lets say just 2), I would have opted for the captains chairs.

I wanted to get bench, but ended up with Captains and don't regret it at all. I have two kids - 5yo and a newborn. Older one occupied passenger side seat in the third row in his forward facing car seat. We use the passenger side captain chair for the newborn. This way one of the parents can sit next to both kids and still be very comfortable.
5 yo gets to his seat either from the trunk or through the second row door and just squeezes between the captains. No need to fold the seat to let him in. The second 3rd row seat is folded to allow for the stroller and other storage. |

But if this guy is what you’re basing your opinion on, he also makes it clear that the bench is not as comfortable as the captains chairs. He says it multiple times. He doesn’t say, however, how much more legroom the bench provides. It sure can’t be much. It seems you’ve made up your mind, so enjoy. It’s definitely a personal preference. I have friends who have the bench, and they have both said they wish they’d gotten captains chairs. For me personally, I’d never spend $120k and get a bench seat.

I don't have either car but it appears from online sources, the MDX has about 1 inch more 2nd row leg room than the X7. Not sure if anyone can chime in with a real world measurement.

I thought about getting the bench so I could also put the entire seats down flat in case I buy a tv or a mattress.
But now that I think about it . Realistically, there will only be 4 us the Majority of the town. I get feee delivery from Best Buy with my total tech membership. ABT delivers appliances . Worst case, get a uhual if you purchase something f without delivery 🚚. |
