Our Review
The BMW X7 is a full-size luxury SUV that successfully blends together many different design elements to create a stylish, luxurious, and practical SUV. While its 7-seat configuration easily accommodates the needs of every soccer mom, it can also be wrapped in M Sport trim giving the X7 an aggressive look that is sure to turn heads. The 2022 BMW X7 is available with either a 3.0L inline 6-cylinder or 5.0L V8 engine under the hood. Both engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, making the X7 a capable performer on both level and hilly roads.
The 2022 BMW X7 is a performance SUV that lives up to its promises. Under the hood, the entry-level xDrive40i is powered by a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine that produces 335 horsepower, while the M50i features a twin-turbo V8 with a jaw-dropping 523 horsepower. The premium upgraded model of the X7, the Alpina XB7, has a specially tuned version of the 5.0L V8, which pushes the power to a whopping 612 hp, propelling the XB7 from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. Thanks to its standard adaptive suspension and rear-wheel steering, the BMW X7 is surprisingly agile for its size. On the road, the X7 is smooth and quiet, with a plush, planted, and well-controlled ride. And thanks to its standard air suspension with adaptive dampers, the X7 always feels level and stable, even when loaded with passengers or cargo.
The 2022 BMW X7 is the perfect vehicle for those who appreciate both style and substance. Inside, the X7 features an elegant yet functional cabin design that is both comfortable and spacious. The seats are upholstered in premium leather, are well-cushioned, and offer a variety of adjustments, so you can find the perfect position for your long road trip. Although the X7 offers ample cargo space room to store all your belongings, it is still lacking compared to its American competitors like the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator. The rear seats can be folded down to create even more space, and there are plenty of hidden compartments throughout the vehicle to keep your belongings safe and out of sight. Whether you're headed to the office or the beach, the BMW X7 is the perfect choice for those who demand the best of both worlds.
The all-new 2022 BMW X7 comprises high-tech features that keep you entertained and connected on even the most extended road trips. The central infotainment system features a large touchscreen display that is easy to use and provides access to your favorite apps. Using the built-in Wi-Fi hotspot or Bluetooth hands-free calling, you can also stay connected with friends and family. The X7 comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility for even more convenience. And if you ever need to charge your phone or other devices, multiple USB ports are located throughout the cabin.
The 2022 BMW X7 is packed with an impressive array of safety and driver-assistance features. The SUV comes standard with adaptive cruise control, stop-and-go functionality, and front and rear obstacle detection. It also has a driver attention monitor that can detect signs of fatigue and provide alerts accordingly. The X7 also has automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alerts. The latter two features are particularly useful when backing out of a parking space or changing lanes on the highway. The 2022 BMW X7 also features adaptive LED units that automatically adjust to ensure optimal visibility.

Key safety features include:
The 2022 BMW X7 comes with a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty and complimentary 3-year/36,000-mile scheduled maintenance. This service includes oil changes, tire rotations, and multi-point inspections.

The SUV is hard to control at highway speeds 65/75mph. It rocks and slowly pulls to the left only to sharply correct and pull to the right. BTW, the lane departure assist has been disabled so it's not the cause of it. I went back to the dealership multiple time only to be told nothing is wrong with the car. 6 month later they said it is the front tires that need replacement. I replaced all 4 tires and paid for a 4 wheel alignment but the problem still exist. 4 experienced drivers tested it and all came back with the same observation, the SUV is unstable and hard to control at HWY speeds. I looked up the internet and found that many consumers are complaining about the same issue on the X7, so why is BMW or the NHTSA not investigating or resolving this dangerous issue? ...your next prompt asks for the date that incident occurred, this was an ongoing issue from day One.Complaint Date:

Driving on the highway, the sunroof above me (the driver) shattered. There was no impact or any issue on the road, the glass shattered suddenly and for no apparent reason. Very scary (luckily I had the sliding shade closed so no shards fell on me)! After pulling over I called BMW roadside assistance, was picked up and dropped at the nearest BMW dealship/body shop, who confirmed that they’ve “seen this before” and replaced the glass by the afternoon of the following day. The repair was covered by the car’s warranty.Complaint Date:

When driving preparing to merge on to the highway I hear what sounded like a gun shot. It then sounded like my sunroof was open becuae I could hear the wind along wiht the sound of glass beraking an falling. My sunroof which was closed at the time exploded. The weather and road conditons were normal. The vehichle is available fo inspection if needed. I pulled over, opened the sun shade which was closed at the time of the incident and glass fell into the vehile and onto my wife and I. Had the sunhade not been closed at the time, the glass would have fallen directly on us or into our eyes. I then drove the vehicle home and parked it mu my garage. There were no existing cracks, chips or visible defects to the sunroof prior to this heepening. It has not been inspected by BMW, the police or an insurance represetative as this happened on a Saturday. I have a call into the BMW dealership where it was purchased. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.Complaint Date:

We bought BMW X7 in Nov.2021 (model 2022), the delivery was late for two weeks because of unavailability of touch screen software but then the vehicle was delivered without software installation for touch screen. Though this was mentioned by the dealer at the time of delivery but because we need to have a vehicle ASAP and that was already two weeks late, we accepted delivery without working of a screen by touch. As BMW X7 model 2022 is very highly advance & sophisticated in term of accessing driving features, we are experiencing too much distraction during driving to access features through other ways BUT NOT BY TOUCHING THE SCREEN which takes driver's concentration and eyes off of the road. In fact now we found this touch of a screen is very, very essential for a judgemental driving. As such, may we request to please bound the manufacturer and or supplier to please INSTALL THE TOUCH SCREEN SOFTWARE. Thank you.Complaint Date:

BMW x7 has the start button by the stick shift and other buttons for navigation modes and others and I when not in park at speed of 25 mph if mistakenly you hit the start button it shut off the car losing power breaks and power steering. BMW told me that how it is designed and above 25 mph even if you are at 100 mph if you do it once the car will go into neutral, if you do it twice the car will shut off and you lose everything I think that is very serious This happened to me while driving. We hit the start/stop button and the car shut off, throwing us into neutral and i had to come to a complete stop to restart the car. I became a road hazard while stopped in a busy intersection and luckily we did not have an accident and no one was injured.
