I love my X7 but the only issue that I have is the same one I have had with my previous x5's - the air conditioner is just not good - it takes time to get cool - the heater rocks - The new electronics of the x7 and interface is incredible - the ride is really great too

I’m wanting to get rid of my S7 and get a BMW X3 M competition or a X5M. It’s just the wife and I so we don’t need something so big.

BMW doesn’t stand behind their product. Have a 2 year old x3, a fuel injector just failed, and bent the connecting rod. BMW won’t pay for it.

So frick them.

For the same price you could get a V90 Cross Country too.

Just looked at both of those plus XC90 and Q7 about 3-4 weeks ago.

Went with the X7. Drive was phenomenal, best interior with highest quality materials, and great tech. Loving it so far.

GLS had slightly more interior room but was just very meh overall. Not bad but not great. The two screen thing was cool. The leather quality was unacceptable for a car of that price.

Not a huge fan of either, but BWMs in particular are just plastic garbage under the hood. I think they make their hoses from Mardi Gras beads melted into shape in a toaster oven. And it's not even a particularly good toaster oven.

I had the Mercedes and it was a bad arse ride right up until service and maintenance time. $400 oil changes, $500 tires and other BS gets old whether you can afford it or not. As mentioned, the AC took a while to cool down as well. Sold it and bought a new Tahoe and couldn’t be happier. Tahoe may lack the cool factor of a Mercedes or BMW but it is a solid ride.

Neither. Get the Lexus LX 470. Best family luxury SUV you can get. You will love it

The interior of the X7 is well thought out, and they're fun to drive. I can't comment on how reliable they are.

(The second row seats are fantastic)

The X7 is the better car, arguably the best large premium SUV. The GLS will be more reliable, not too much of an issue if you don't keep cars past warranty end. As a brand, BMW is now MUCH more reliable than Mercedes but the X7 still has some issues to iron out.

The LC and LX570 are great in many respects especially reliability and off-road prowess (for the category) but they are absolute dinosaurs compared to the competition. If you can look past this you will be able to pass them on to the next generation in your will if you keep them up.

My wife drove both and picked the GLS. Also looked at Range Rover Sport and the Lexus
