all SUVs should get that lower suspension thing and have a low rider look. they should give this variant a new name. maybe "stationwagon"

[@damoc297]

Awesome view with the Fujis!! Never seen cars review paint swirls before!!

[@Pezhman101]

Great review guys and I couldn’t agree with you anymore. Just got 2021 Tanzanite Blue with 23inch wheels after trading in Tesla model X P100 D. This car is completely on a different planet of luxury and performance combination. My wife is so impressed about the overall package and now wants to get rid of her 2020 Cayenne Turbo and get another XB7!! Amazing Car for people who have families but don’t want to come compromise on performance or looks! Test drove the new 2021 MB GLS 63, in comparison to the Mercedes Benz although a good SUV but not as good as the BMW XB7! BMW Tunner Alpina really nailed this car. Again, thanks for you consistent great reviews and awesome videos keep up the great work..

I'm still crazy, I still like manuals of old, is the exhaust sound REALLY piped in they never did that before. I always have to watch you guys you remind me of my reviews, in the 80's & 90's ,I'm waiting for the next one.

[@BaruKz]

Thanks for first review on this big SUV, i reckon it's one of the best of the class. There are not many that can be comfortable and pretty fast like this one, it's a serious premium product. I always prefer an Alpina to a BMW, they are always an individual numbered product which in my opinion makes them special. Just the top speed says it all😳

That’s pretty much how all new black cars end up looking unless you get them professionally detailed. By the time they get to the dealer, have their first wash, get their PDI done, another wash, paints fucked already. Dealers don’t have the time to make sure they are perfect. I’ve never seen a perfect black car straight from a dealer.

[@inbloom08]

@@rare6499 You are right but it's not excusable by any means. I recently bought a red 7.5 GTI golf and made the dealership pay for a mobile detailer of my choosing to remove the swirls and holograms inflicted by horrible wash procedures out back before I drove away with it. Let's just say they didn't like my OCD levels at that dealership but screw em.

Alpina builds their cars and engines from scratch btw in the same factory where the corresponding BMW model would be built. So in the case of the XB7, that would be Spartanburg, USA, while the B7 is built in Dingolfing, Germany. That is why Alpina is recognized as a independent manufacturer, they don't just tune existing cars.
