Alex I've been watching your car reviews for the last past year I must admit you do and outstanding job. Keep up the Great work 👍

Alex you need to take some time off just like us normal working people. I understand the youtube competition nowadays are crazy but you gotta take care of your body first. Nothing comes before health.

Get well soon, Alex. Give yourself some rest and come back stronger.

Hope you feel better Alex. Thanx for still being dedicated and doing a video. I actually love this BMW and I’m not a fan fancy SUVs.

I like the style how you present the material, Alex. Great job on this review as usual! Lot’s to learn from you man.

Slight correction Alex. The X5 didn't start out the MY2019 without the third row. They initially launched with the third row option (requires air suspension) but removed it earlier this year (I think February). There are in fact still some X5's on dealer lots that have the third row, as well as those buyers who custom built their X5's that have the 3rd row. It's a shame because the row third in X5, while not suitable for adults, will absolutely work for kids or as emergency seating. The third row was a relative bargain at $2200, including the $1000 air suspension. It also upgrades the X5 from non-adjustable second row (no forward/backward or angle adjustment) to electronically controlled second row with forward/backward and angle adjustments. Great video as always, hope you feel better with your throat.

Another great review. Thanks, Alex.

The best x7 review I have seen, good job Alex.

Alex, great review as usual. My mind caught the attention of that 'tree house' at 15:00. OMG! Surprised the building codes allowed that. Back to the review, can't wait to see the car in person and also the coming GLS. Thanks!

Your reviews are always my favorite.

thanks Alex for the great work, .....we also want to see the new Mercedes GLE or GLS as well the BMW X5

Hope you feel better, the X7 is too rich for my blood. The Telluride has many of the features, granted with less power but the value proposition and reliability over time outweighs the BMW. However, if you can afford this you probably don’t care about those things...

Lovely for a 3 row suv. Great review as usual. The big kidney grille looks awful, vulgar and cheap like all big grilles do. Feel better Alex!

You're the best of the best but get some rest. Back in January I got a nasty cold and eventually it turned into bronchitis. To add to it I somehow picked up strep throat at the same time probably from when I decided on going to the mall to relieve the boredom. It was nasty.

Bravo BMW 👏👏👏

Looking forward to the wind and child generated rear door wide swing dings from this thing. 'Murican parking lots are not made to accommodate these things. Looks like a decent livery use vehicle with those nice 2nd and 3rd row seats.

The x7 looks very interesting. It looks really nice especially with the ivory and navy color combo. Kind of reminds of the upcoming palisade. But I’d take the GLS63 AMG because it’s the same price as the x7 you tested.

its massive in person

Is it possible to include metric measurements do you think. I'd say you would have listeners outside of USA watching your reviews.

The gear shifter is just too fancy😂

You mentioned your test of the new X5. Did I miss that?

I believe idea is that front row passenger will adjust seat height for optimal seatbelt and visibility. Second row seat does not have height adjustment therefore it shall have seat belt height adjustment.

So is the steering wheel standard or option?

I like the X5 just okay...never thought it was that great looking. But sitting next to the X7, the X5 looks like a beauty queen.

There are only three ways to gain marketshare: either undercut in pricing, produce a better product or beat them out to the market. We know the price is the same. We don’t know anything about which is better yet. However, BMW neat them to the market and will enjoy the ability to introduce Mercedes customers to their car first. Simple stuff here!

From personal experience if the car was maintained well, besides scratches and door dings that accumulates over the year and some repair, the car is still enjoyable as they very well built.
