I own the 2023 BMW X7, and while it boasts stunning

I own the 2023 BMW X7, and while it boasts stunning aesthetics and impressive performance, there is a significant drawback that cannot be overlooked: the air conditioning system. Living in Texas, where temperatures can easily exceed 100 degrees, the inefficiency of the AC is a major issue. On scorching days, it takes over 45 minutes to cool the cabin, particularly for the driver and front passenger. The air flow is incredibly weak; the fan at level 5 feels equivalent to level 1 on a Honda Civic. This is unacceptable for a luxury SUV. The discomfort caused by the inadequate cooling system makes it hard to enjoy the otherwise excellent features of the car. Unfortunately, due to this critical flaw, I cannot recommend the 2024 BMW X7, especially for those living in hot climates.

Buyer Beware

We had traded in a Lexus LX570 for the BMW X7 and had a good experience with the dealer when placing the build. We've been overall pleased with the vehicle until a few weeks ago. We were parking the car going about 3 MPH, about 3 feet from the curb, when pressing the brakes again the car accelerated. We pressed the brakes again and the car accelerated even faster. The automatic braking didn't work and we ended up hitting a building. The driver assistant package should've applied the brakes avoiding the collision. Some other owners of the 2023 X7 posted that BMW has a software glitch with the Driver Assistant Package which ends up turning off the system BMW corporate sent an engineer to do an inspection on the vehicle. They didn't find anything and the black box indicated the vehicle was accelerating at the time of the crash. No surprise as this is what we stated from the time of the accident. Following the accident and doing a Google search, we found information on SUA (Sudden Unintended Acceleration). The auto industry seems to have an issue with this but they don't admit to it. We found posting by owners of different BMW models and years that express the same situation. Parking at a slow rate of speed, when the vehicle accelerated when pressing the brake and then accelerating even faster when pressing the brake again, ending up in an accident. We believe this is the case with our vehicle. Some articles indicate the SUA is caused by a computer error sending a message to the vehicle to accelerate when the driver is actually pressing the brakes. Additional articles question whether the black box records the correct information relating to this situation. We're looking to see what our options are, as we're concerned this may happen again and could results in a person being injured or worse.

2023 BMW X7 review: Our expert's take

By Aaron Bragman

The verdict: Cushy, comfy, and quick, the newly restyled BMW X7 provides a mostly premium experience, but it still can confound casual users.

Versus the competition: The new X7 provides a true rival to luxury SUVs such as the Mercedes-Benz GLS and Land Rover Range Rover, but it’s starting to approach too much technology overcomplication.

When you get to a certain price point for luxury SUVs, you start to diversify into two categories: the American behemoths like the Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator and Jeep Grand Wagoneer, or the slightly more global-sized foreign brand offerings like the Mercedes-Benz GLS, Land Rover Range Rover, Lexus LX 600 and this, the redesigned 2023 BMW X7. They’re priced the same, most of them reaching over $100,000 easily, but their missions are different: The global brand offerings need to be able to fit through tight European cities, while the Americans ones more often ply wide-open interstates from sea-to-shining-sea.

Related: What’s New With SUVs for 2023?

BMW’s new X7 is decidedly a global player, obvious from its size and content, and features three different trims to satisfy the super-premium SUV buyer. It starts with the X7 xDrive40i, powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine pumping out 375 horsepower; steps up to the performance M-badged X7 M60i with its 523-hp, twin-turbo V-8; and culminates in the exclusive Alpina-badged XB7 and it’s hairy-chested 631-hp, V-8 and super-opulent interior. We spent a week with the “mid-level” model, the M60i, but “mid-level” is something of a misnomer — there’s nothing cheap or ordinary about this SUV. BMW doesn’t make an “X7 M” like it does for the X3 or X5, rightly thinking that a track-capable M version of a seven-occupant SUV is a bit barmy. Instead, it hands its X7 over to in-house tuner Alpina to create the top-of-the-line Alpina XB7, which is tuned more for on-road high performance than track capability.

It may not be the top Alpina, but the mid-level M60i is certainly nothing to sneeze at. We wanted to evaluate how the updates BMW made to the X7 for 2023 affected its livability on a daily basis. With the latest German luxury trend towards increasingly complicated touchscreen controls, we had our concerns, especially after experiencing the latest Mercedes-Benz systems that have left a generally terrible impression on us. Did BMW fall into the same trap? We drove one for a week to find out.

Is the Style Still Polarizing?
