The steering wheel stitching is green and blue because those are the Alpina colours, on older models that theme was continued throughout the entire interior and it looks less out of place in those.

[@robertlamprell1854]

Yep, it's surprising they haven't got more of that colourway detail in the interior. I always thought they did the seat belts with a green and blue stitch, which they were doing before BMW M started adding the M division tricolour to M model seat belts.

[@user-xw4vg1vy5e]

@@Johnnygga I believe once they started putting M and AMG on other cars besides the real ones, for example, S63 or M5 is when they started diluting their brands. I don't think Audi has done it as much because the just have S and RS lines. I could be wrong about Audi as I'm not super familiar with their cars. But the whole 43, 45 63, 73 from AMG is weird. The whole M240i or what ever is also weird. They should have just kept M2, M6 etc. Along with Mercedes keeping 63, 65 AMG. I know it's all about money and sales though.

For those revisiting this review in 2024..As a XB7 owner a few things Doug got wrong and also things that have changed since this video came out. BMW did release M versions of the X7, i have driven both of them as well as the base non-M X7. The local BMW dealer has lent me them whenever ive had service. The X7m's are very stiff inside with standard BMW trim, they are fast, but they are focused on speed and handling. The standard X7 is comfortable, if a bit slow, with a somewhat cheap interior in my opinion. The Alpina is not an M car in any way, i am not sure why Doug kept comparing it to one. Alpina focuses on luxury, handling and power. The ride is softer than a X7m, the interior is better. It's an Autobahn cruiser in every way, and it's where the car really shines. Alpina is just such a special brand that is vastly unknown here in the USA. You get a car that gives you what you actually need versus the X7m, which while fast, is stiff...

I'm broke and cheap, but I think I read somewhere that Porsche, for example, is one of the most reliable brands, but once something finally DOES wear down it's usually expensive to repair. Most people can't afford to pay $100k+ on a new 911, but they might decide they can afford to pay less than half of that for a high mileage used one. The scenario I imagine is that the owner takes their worn down car to a mechanic and sees the luxury repair bill and thinks they're being scammed, so they only pay for some problems to be fixed. Once they've owned the car for 51 days the car violently and magnificently explodes because they ran out of oil a week ago. "Porsche.." they belch through charred crispy lips, "is unreliable."

Doug: it doesnt brake like a sports car My mind: oh its a BMW, itll break just fine

[@zlyverz]

I think that grill is fine, and that's coming from someone who despise the series 3/4 grill.

[@grtbgf]

yeah, its just big, not ridiculously otter-teeth ugly like 3/4

[@sean6992]

The m4 is OK, it's not thag bad

[@zlyverz]

@@sean6992 I just find it incredibly ugly, I can't imagine why BMW designers did that. Without that the car is close to perfection, maybe in 20 years it will be like the 996 today.

@@zlyverz I get what you mean but I mostly like what's inside the car so I don't really care about the grill

Doug, your stuff is great and most of the insights are almost always spot on but comparing an Alpina to an M is blasphemy and is not supported by either car's driving dynamics or the history of either company. The M performance focuses on sports performance to keep the driver engaged and part of the pavement. The Alpina experience is a luxurious escape from those constrictions for drivers who have different priorities that don't include hearing loud exhaust noises or cornering on a timed track. In the US we were really able to first see this contrast in the M6 v. B6, where there are two vehicles with great stats on paper that drive nothing alike. The priorities of M and Alpina are different and this is reflected in the driving dynamics. Nor would any Alpina driver want an M X7 over the XB7 because comfort and luxury would be more important to those drivers over pure racing feel. A rare faux pas that I felt needed to be addressed.

You can control the 3rd row sunroof from the 3rd row light controls. You don’t have to reach to the door lol.

I miss the days when BMW's were more than just a grill with a car attached to it.

I agree, in fact I'm fine with every BMW grill

Carwow videos are more satisfying to watch. Maybe because their production team really puts effort in video editing or maybe because they have good cameras.

You can also control the third row sunroof from the third row, it’s in between the light switches!

I’d imagine they put the plastic there because of the possibility of drinks spilling and maybe feeling the plastic would subconsciously alert someone to be careful of were your putting your feet

@@pacmanweeee I agree with the original comment that it probably has a practical purpose. Should of been leather? It would get worn over time more than plastic. Not all plastic is created equally.

I'd like for the BMW badges on the front and the tailgate to be the Alpina emblem instead. I assume they can be purchased after market and replaced.

[@drakehosking8628]

I’m going to be honest, and I normally don’t really like BMW. This suv is actually super slick and has so much convenience and cool little features built in with loads of tech and very little compromise. I am VERY impressed, super cool suv!
