What’s the difference between TuxMat and WeatherTech floor mats?

[@AljosaAsanovic]

@@Spacedog_42 tuxmat looks better, has higher side walls and better coverage. From my own research and bought tuxmat at Costco under the name phantom.

[@Spacedog_42]

@@AljosaAsanovic thanks for feedback. Are they a hose down product like WeatherTech?

[@BurningAlive13]

Thanks for continuing to highlight the nonsensical lack of hard buttons for shortcuts and climate controls in new BMWs and other cars. Everything being on a touchscreen is not safer and is not more convenient (poorly working voice controls don't count, clearly) and I really hope automakers get the hint sooner rather than later.

[@didinos]

@@electrikoptik carplay dumbest thing ever?! How is not having to mount your phone on the windshield to use the navigation a bad thing? I am with you about the touchscreen everything.

[@maxweinbach3996]

If the brand is new, like Tesla then it's ok? I feel like people criticize Tesla far less than these companies changing to match.

[@slimconfucius]

Doubtful, it's been happening for years. Just like headphone jacks on cell phones, people complain but they don't care.

[@emaadpervez353]

you vill click nothing and u vill be happy

[@Schmitzelhaus]

I kinda have the dark impression that it´s not as nonsensical as you might think, at least for the manufactorer. I would almost bet that down the road they will monetize a lot of features in some way, so that you either have to pay once to unlock something or at the worst, make it a subscription with monthly/annual payments. Plus they don´t have top put all those blank buttons in their entry level specs, so they don´t rub it quite as bad into your face for just how many things they want to charge you...

Bought a 2023 X7 a few months ago and absolutely love it. In my opinion the look is stunning. Performance is amazing. My two girls love cruising around in it. If you can, make sure to add the Bowers and Wilkins sound system. It’s worth it.

[@de_stroyed]

older X7 looked better, tbh. the front looks really ugly and the car just looks less aggressive now.

[@jmilber]

Just ordered a 2021 X7 M50i full optioned out! Executive Pack, Bowers Sound, Parking & Driving Assit, Cold Weather Pack, Luxury Seating, Full Merino leather, Ambient Air, Dynamic Handling, and the M50i includes all the cool M stuff --- M breaks, exhaust, steering wheel, front grill, etc. SOOO EXCITED!!! Ahhhhhhhh---- this car looks incredible. I got grey exterior with white interior.

[@scottvik]

I love BMW, I really do, but there is something odd going on with the new design of many major models, especially the 7-series. I love my fully loaded 2014 ActiveHybrid 7-er, and to be honest their new designs make it more sensible to keep existing models for longer in my opinion.

[@AH-lw2bj]

I know right, I can't imagine they think their customers want everything in the touchscreen as it's something everyone talks about hating.... Dodge tried doing that about 10 years ago, and it only lasted 1 or 2 production years because people hated it, and they went to buttons/screen combo

[@weirdshibainu]

The new 7 series is an abomination

[@ewoo]

Call me classic but the 1st gen X7 looks way better! Also, really glad we got ours before they deleted all those physical buttons.

[@baronmunchausen645]

The “old” one is only 3 years old. Pre-LCI, actually looks better. New isn’t always better

[@de_stroyed]

i'm not sure who would call you a classic when you refer to something that's 3yrs old.

[@ewoo]

@@de_stroyedI consider the aesthetics of having a pair of dual headlights flanked inline with the kidney grill classic BMW.

[@AljosaAsanovic]

Normally skip the sponsored section but tuxmat is really good lol. I bought them at Costco under the rebranded Phantom name. Same company.

[@colechapman6976]

Those headlights look really similar to the headlights found on the Hyundai Palisade

[@rjohns25]

I say Jeep Cherokee headlight from 2014 lol

[@ajlee6933]

Looks can be deceiving. The headlight design was taken from Rolls Royce.

[@pan4632]

I think it looks more like the Nissan Rogue

[@steveaverett]

I own a Palisade and that was my first thought when I saw the new X7. Sad for BMW.

[@cancelled_user]

It looks like Chinese designers tried to marry Jeep Cherokee with Fiat Multipla

[@danwaterhouse8172]

The new headlights look horrible. BMW designers need to stop ruining all of their models.

[@arya_moghadam]

My dream SUV (since I’m a BMW lover)! I love the BMW X7! Excellent review!

[@ryancox4213]

The phone/digital key on this newer X7 works so much better than the old one, when you set it up on recent iPhones it works as a proximity key and you don't need to take it out of your pocket anymore. I have tried the feature out and can't wait for it to trickle down to the other models. Almost no need for a key fob anymore!

[@AutoTopnl]

I just started to like the X7! Back to point 0

[@TheStraightPipes]

Smart choice

[@AaronStarks]

There are favorites on iDrive8. More than 8. You can set any function (by holding on the app then choosing 'add to favorites') as a favorite and access them by pulling down from the top of the screen.

[@jdyahoo]

The blank button before the parking camera, was meant for the drive recorder function, which is sadly unavailable to Canadian at the moment. You guys ought to check BMW Canada for us, why they disable the Canadian ConnectedDrive store??? It has been a PITA for us owner, who can't renew any Canadian BMW subscription features. Thanks.

[@azureactivedirectory]

iDrive 8 learns your climate control actions based on temperature, location, and even direction of the sun. It works surprisingly well. From my experience I never had to actually use the on screen climate menu except for the first few days.

The X7 M is a great vehicle if recommend checking it out I get to drive them all the time for my job the slight down side if you even consider it bad is that the seats are more sporty and less comfortable

[@Mav0585]

I agree the drivers seat doesn’t go as low as I’d like!

[@dmax5678]

The new 3 and X7 make me very scared for the new 5 Series. We need physical buttons.

[@hamzahballim5567]

Before this video, I was genuinely hating the design, and within the first few minutes, I started loving it, it's just something about the colour of this x7 and the design that really go perfectly together

[@FaAdventuresAndAnimations]

I agree, I first though the design was ok but then I really started liking it. BMW and Genesis honestly makes one of the best car designs ever.

[@MrLuiyi02]

Same for me, first time I saw it, I said “horrible” but it grows on you, and all the interior is amazing

[@sshah2545]

I hate the split lights. The earlier model was better. BMW has lost that subtle class their vehicles had pre-2005ish

[@chrisginoc]

The EQS is dead to me! I agree. Not a fan. I'm still torn on this 2023 LCI. I think this is the first time I wouldn't mind a pre LCI or the LCI. Both look good. Bmw Blog wrote that the iX7 is coming out 2027. Might as well just wait for that.

Front-end BMW designers have been a bit undecided lately. Love the performance and interior.

[@The_action_is_the_juice]

I'm on my second X7, currently have a 2021. And no, I do not like the LCI. I don't like the split headlights, lack of direct buttons and I don't like the look of the floating screen. Will it keep me from buying a new one eventually? No, Because overall it's a fantastic vehicle.

[@ironbolt2678]

I am not a fan of the new screen just because it will be hard to keep clean and to keep the area behind it clean. I don’t mind the aesthetic, however I prefer something more integrated, Volvo style

[@JIMQINN12138]

tbh, the look has been grown on me after seeing it in real life. It’s really not too bad in the night

[@yethishh5798]

That front design looks like Suzuki Grand Vitara 😂 , old x7 looks was so good and little aggressive

If you cover the top headlights it would look much better with the bottom ones only, same with the new 7 series.

A few notes I have: Like the initial X7, I thought it was ugly when it was first unveiled, but now after seeing a few on the road, I don’t mind it. It’s not beautiful, but I would not kick it out of the driveway. We got a new LCI 3 series, and ‘hey bmw’ can do the XM channel and hasn’t been an issue for me. The loss of buttons is also a bummer, but really hasn’t been an issue with the day to day living. Anyways, great video as always!

[@brianlee9233]

Agreed. I've said this before and I will say it again, this looks a ton better than the M3/M4/430i/440i/M440i/I4/IX, and for the 1000000000th time, BUY IT IN BLACK FOR PETE'S SAKE!!!!!!! I am getting sick and tired of you guys buying it in Alpine White, São Paolo Yellow, Arctic Race Blue Metallic, Isle Of Man Green Metallic, Dravite Gray Metallic, San Remo Green Metallic, Portimao Blue Metallic or Mineral White Metallic.
