I do always like watching her videos, but yes, I do find wrong info. She's quite the cutie.

I showed my wife this video and she likes Ametrin Metallic. The XB7 does look good in it.

This video includes an ALPINA Green XB7, the first I've seen.

After driving it, if there were zero interior or exterior differences I still would have bought it. Not having to turn of the start/stop BS every time you start the car was a Huge plus. Then the feel of the ride difference alone which is immediately noticeable. Transmission feels like night and day difference. The exhaust is quieter than the M50i but has a much smother sound. And I hadn’t even felt the power and was already sold. It feels like going from the 40i to a M50i. I know it’s only supposed to be @80 hp more but don’t go by those numbers. But you must be warned, if you like your M50i you better not get in a XB7!

My M50i stickered at 120k and my XB7 stickered at 150k. I wondered if it was worth the difference until I drove the XB7 which removed ALL doubt. Don’t get in one unless you are considering buying one.

In case you missed it there have been several comparison tests and they picked the XB7. I had the chance to buy the first gls63 in Texas but I went and drove the XB7 I now own.

I wouldn't worry what anyone else thinks. You're the proud owner of an XB7. The extra $32k to get from a loaded M50i to an XB7 is nothing to sneeze at but for those who want an XB7, good for them.
