Now, compare that with a 5er vs 7er. If I showed you a picture of either one of those, you'd be able to tell within 2 seconds which is which. |

Think we are getting what we are paying for, no qualms here for if the platform was different the X7 would be much much more expensive. |

Who is this reviewer? At the 5:00 mark he says the X7 has been redesigned for 2019. Ha. Then goes on to explain what's new with the exterior for the redesign. Seriously? I turned it off as soon as I heard this. Obviously clueless.

[QUOTE=760Lifan;24455818]The F95 (X5M) will have a Alcantara headliner and full leather (always has). LED sky-roof is a gimmick and power rear sunshades is useless.

I disagree... power rear shades useful in sunny climates. I drive the car, want shades down for clearer view around me as I drive and clear for other traffic. Park for the day, want to keep the car cool, press button and shades come up. Don't have to get out and put each side up manually.

Well since the days of the Hummer H1 and H2 you certainly can!
Are you thinking about an Abrams M-1 for your daily?

As the owner of a G30, the front of the cabin, including the dashboard, shares much with the current G11/12 7 series. Yes there are differences there but for anyone not acquainted with these cars, is not that easy to tell from photos. The real differences in the interior are far more apparent in the rear seat where the 7er delivers limo like levels of leg room and some other creature comforts.

Anyone considering a Spartanburg, SC built X5 or X7 should wait until the new seat supplier has officially entered the assembly line.

Would rather spend the $$$ on a vehicle with a S63 engine, than an under powered B58.
