I purchased the new x7 few months ago. This new iDrive 7. 0 software is very unreliable.
I keep getting logged off from my Online profile.
Every other time I get in my car it asks me to enter my online profile user name and password!
Plus my Bluetooth phone keeps disconnecting
One day volume doesn't work.
Another day XM radio doesn't work.
Sometime the system freezes where I have to hold the Volume button for 30 seconds to restart the onboard computer.
Called BMW started a Tech Ticket close to month ago. Still haven't seen anyone trying to help me.
Called them after that multiple times and they keep blowing me off.
Not a way a good client should be treated!

I wish I bought BMW. My new 2020 RR PHEV I bought on 6/18/2020 from Official dealer in Atlanta GA had engine light turned on when I came back home, still turned on after 3 times back to dealer service with changing different parts. Now has been at service 4th time for last month and they said that all this model cars in the world will be recalled for new hybride software that will be ready at the end of September 2020. 3 months after buying a new very expensive car, still stuck to service. Dealer said that JLR refused replacement because any car they replace will need the same software update all p400e models in the world will be recalled.

I like BMW but all I have been hearing is of late is many cars have reported faults and have been with dealerships for over a month especially M cars as we stand today I would not entertain the brand at one time they had been the car that set the bar now they struggle as the has been a number of Lemon cases in USA so much for ultimate driving machine more like leave at the dealership machine as the engine light is on more times than the head lights.

Always love the Range Rover. BUT and its a big BUT, can Range Rover offer the reliability of an BMW, not quite but can BMW offer the off-road abilities of a Range Rover and that touch of upper class. Well for its first attempt at a 7 seat 4x4 for a upper market audience I think BMW have nailed it and it's only going to get better as the facelift models will bring more style.

Unless you have lots of kids or are going to use it as a taxi, I can't see why you would buy one of these over a 630GT. The GT has as much space for rear passengers, a huge boot, much better looking (this X7 looks like a hearse) and won't roll around bends. The interior, engine, gearbox, wheels etc. are all exactly the same.

Yeah. no. BMW can take their humongous grille and stuff it where the sun doesn't shine. .i have a hard time understanding that BMW used to be on the very top of my list of cars to own. That was then. and this hideous looking thing is now. Yikes.

OK. Let-s get this right. This is NOT a competitor to the Range Rover. This matches the Mercedes GLS, possibly the XC90. The Range Rover (although owners will never use it for this purpose) is very capable off road. The X7 isn-t.

Under power corporate look what x7 is. Range Rover on the other hand was refined throughout its 60 years heritage. Compare the x7 after it was in production for 60 years with the rover.

this is just an X5 long wheelbase with an high price. Also unlike q7 and cayenne, you can't have an X7 (or X5) with both air suspensions and active anti-roll bars.
