 What is up guys welcome back to another one if you are new to the channel I am Goldpony today we are in the all new 2019 BMW X7 courtesy of Apple BMW in York PA and so I will be going over absolutely everything about this one for you guys so as always let's start with pricing. It's soon to start there will be two different setups for the 2019 X7 there is the X-Drive X-Drive 40i that is going to start at $73,900 then you have the X-Drive 50i that one is going to start at $92,600 but so then as you can probably imagine judging by the trim levels there there are two different engine setups available for the X7 first one being the three liter twin power turbocharged inline six cylinder that is going to belong to the X-Drive 40i that we have today that one puts out 335 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 330 pound feet of torque available at 1500 rpm power is going to be sent to all four wheels through BMW's X-Drive all wheel drive system and that power is sent to the ground through an eight speed automatic with paddle shifters which we will test out in a little bit here zero to sixty time BMW puts it at approximately 5.8 seconds with MPG numbers coming in at 20 in the city 25 on the highway and the X7 will give you an auto start stop system as well so when you stop the stop sign or red light the X7 will turn off automatically for you saving a little MPG's there as well but the other engine setup along into the X-Drive 50i that is going to be a 4.4 liter twin power turbocharged V8 this one putting out 456 horsepower around 5200 rpm 479 pound feet of torque available at 1500 rpm again sent to all four wheels through an eight speed automatic but on this one zero to sixty five point two seconds which is crazy for a three row SUV by the way and MPG numbers coming in at 17 city 22 highway and so before we do any kind of acceleration in the X7 I did want to mention there are some drive modes located just behind the shifter there and they're going to include eco pro comfort sport and adaptive which is really where the car decides what driving mode is best for your particular situation but they're going to adjust things like the shift points throttle response and the steering sensitivity as well and so but now having said that let's put the shifter all the way to the back and to the left that is going to give you that manual shift mode if you wanted it and let's do a quick little acceleration test with the paddle shifters and want to see how quickly they react for us and overall see how quickly we can get this one here up to speed oh my gosh love it all right you guys do two things paddle shifters are lightening quick probably among the fastest I've ever experienced and an SUV and really any vehicle really they are insanely quick and to be quite honest the extra i-40i that we have today plenty of power I don't even see you needing the v8 but definitely no issues with merging onto the highway or anything like that I bet so then to go along with that acceleration braking is equally important and so of course you will find four wheel ventilated disc brakes that come standard on this one and in my short drive today I've had absolutely no issues with a braking feel or anything like that when it comes to the handling and suspension on the x7 you will find a double wishbone front suspension in the back a lightweight multi-link integral rear suspension and one of the best parts about the x7 contributing to its smooth ride is there is a two axle self-leveling air suspension and so this is basically going to automatically adjust its height based on road conditions meaning if the x7 senses you were going on some back roads going a little faster than perhaps you should be it's going to lower the x7 a little bit providing a little better handling and at the same time if you're just cruising it's going to raise that height up to not only give you better ground clearance but give you a more comfortable ride as well and it actually gets better than that because you can manually adjust the height of the x7 as well located just behind the shifter there that's going to give you the ability to raise the x7 up 1.6 inches above the standard setting if you wanted to so really quite a bit of control and again with that air suspension you're going to get so much of a smoother ride as opposed to an suv without it so definitely a very high end suspension setup if that is a thing so very nice there as far as cabin noise goes it is a very quiet cabin definitely no issues there steering feel is as expected not the heaviest in the world but it is as expected for an suv so we're good there as well and when it comes to visibility it is as expected for a three row suv not the very best i've ever had and of course if you have that third row up those headrests are going to impede visibility ever so slightly in the back as well but still you're going to find out on any three row suv so that's really not an issue for me but it actually gets better with visibility because you do have a head up display right in front of the driver's site giving you the speed limit as well as how fast you're going at any given time so that is definitely nice as well but that is about it for the driving dynamics let's move on to the exterior because like i had mentioned the 2019 x7 has been completely redesigned for this year so without further ado let's check out the exterior of this all new 2019 x7 it's so to start for 2019 probably the most obvious difference is going to be that larger active kidney front grille to the sides adaptive led headlights will come standard they will come with automatic high beams as well and led fog lights just below also one thing you're going to notice about the exterior is there are satin aluminum trim details throughout the entire exterior so we'll find some near the lower part of the front bumper up there but they will continue on to the side and the back as well but make your way to the side satin aluminum roof rails satin aluminum window surrounds power folding heated side mirrors will come standard with led integrated turn signals as well then take a look at the wheel set of 21 by 9.5 inch wheels are going to come standard and will come with run flat all season tires along with them and there are plenty of different optional wheel setups including the 22 inch design that you were currently looking at right now but then make your way to the back you will find a rear spoiler with an integrated brake light back there just below that a rear window wiper led taillights will come standard of course and i did want to mention there is a chrome horizontal bar that ties together the two taillights thought that was an interesting design cue on this one also before we get to the exhaust there is a $550 towing package and that's going to give you a towing capacity of 7500 pounds if you wanted it which is more than enough to tow a small boat just not a yacht but still definitely a good bit of towing capacity for the x7 but just below it all dual exhaust outlets back there so you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip it's open now since we are round back when it comes to that rear liftgate it is a power liftgate so simply just press the button on the key fob that's what i did and it is a two-piece liftgate so it's going to open up the top part and then you just press the button on the bottom that's going to open up the bottom part so definitely pretty nice there and once you have that open there is actually a cargo cover tucked away underneath the floor storage there as well if you wanted it but one of the best parts about the cargo area is everything is power operated so there are buttons in the cargo area that you simply just press and walk away and it is going to fold down that third row seats bumping the cubic feet and it's up to 48.6 and there are more buttons if you press that once again it folds down the second row giving you 90.4 cubic feet so like the space but love the fact that it is all power folding definitely convenient and the same goes for putting those seats back up as well you just press the buttons and they automatically fold back up for you so definitely pretty nice there but then let's make our way to the rear legroom because we all know third rows sometimes don't always fit adults so third row legroom is going to come in at 33.3 inches i mean even six feet tall i did manage to fit but it was not comfortable so third row is probably better left for small children as it is with most three row SUVs out there but also when to mention for that third row they have their own individual moon roof back there so a lot of times SUVs will leave out the third row passengers and they won't put a moon roof back there but for the BMW X7 they got one not only that but there are USB charging ports in that third row as well for those children that need to power up their cell phones and iPads and all that fun stuff but making your way to the second row legroom that comes in at 37.6 inches so for adults my six foot self more than enough legroom back there and once again second row has access to the panoramic moon roof and by the way i should mention the X7 is available as a six-seater or a seven-seater so in this particular instance this is a seven-seater setup for the center captain's chairs to make it a six-seater that is an option if you wanted to go that route but either way there's a lot of amenities for those second row passengers including with the premium pack you get rear electric side window shades you can get a rear seat entertainment package which you're actually looking at right now that goes for $2,200 there's also four zone climate control that comes standard so the rear passengers can set their own temperatures back there there's also a rear center armrest with cup holders as expected but with the cold weather package they get rear heated seats back there as well and once again USB charging ports and of course rear ventilation for all three rows as expected but now let's make our way to the front seats on this one 16-way power adjustable front seats will come standard they come with two-way power side bolsters four-way lumbar support and memory settings and the standard finish will be a sense of tech upholstery and those front seats will come heated that is all standard but there is a luxury seating package I wanted to mention that goes for $1,600 that's going to give you 20-way power adjustable front seats and that's where you can adjust the back rest with as well it's kind of interesting and they will come ventilated as well in the front there and the best part of that luxury seating package is they come with the massaging function for not only the driver seat but the passenger seat as well so after a long hard days work and you need a massage you got it in the X7 but taking a look up front there is a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel will come leather wrapped will come heated with that cold weather package that we have here and that cold weather package again actually comes with a heated center armrest which is kind of cold because we still have snow on the ground here in PA so you almost never find that on vehicles by the way so that is definitely nice then when it comes to the startup let me first start by showing you guys the key here you do have your lock unlock and that button to pop the rear hatch and by the way always want to mention the lock button is the BMW emblem in the middle there also wouldn't mention you may have seen this there is an optional BMW touchscreen key available that's going to give you a remote start that's going to add an additional $300 but that is definitely a pretty sweet key but we don't have that today so I'm not going to go into detail but I am going to simply just put my foot on the brake and press that engine start button which is located just to the left of the shifter there and so would start it up you are going to find BMW's new full digital display up there speedometers on the left tachometers on your right there is a digital speedometer within that and the navigation is actually going to be located in the center of it all and depending on what driving mode you put it in those gauges are going to adjust slightly as well but now let me make my way to the very best part of the x7 without a doubt the interior quality starting with my favorite part on this one it's the little things that count this is a $650 option we have today but what you are looking at now is the shifter finished in swarski crystal that is definitely amazing and that crystal finish comes not only on the volume knob for the radio also the circular dial to the right of the shifter and the engine start button to the left as well it is all finished in crystal panoramic moon roof will actually come standard on the x7 so that is nice but an option for the panoramic moon roof to tie it all together is led lighting surrounds with different colors available for the panoramic moon roof that is pretty sweet that goes for $750 also you will get a universal garage door opener a wireless phone charger ambient lighting all of that comes standard and you got to love the two-tone finishes in this one with the genuine wood trim and this is without a doubt one of the most high-end finishes I've been in in quite a while you guys definitely very nice but let's make our way to the tech display on this one you will find dual 12.3 inch color touchscreen display is one of them being the gauges of course but front and center it is touchscreen voice activated or you can use a circular dial and buttons just to the right of the shifter so plenty of ways to adjust what's on that tech display there bluetooth and audio streaming will come standard you will get apple carplay with a one-year free trial there factory navigation again is going to come standard on the x7 and you can check out your weather settings if you wanted to I found that pretty nice and of course the radio settings as well and when it comes to the sound system by the way standard setup is going to give you a high five sound system with 10 speakers 205 watts if you want with the premium pack you are going to get a harman kardon surround sound system with that giving you 12 speakers and 360 watts the last sound system setup available is a bowers and wilkins diamond surround sound system for 4200 that's going to give you 20 speakers and 1500 watts and to date in the 350 ish cars I've reviewed that is still my favorite sound system by the way but we do have the harman kardon sound system today so you guys know what we have to do next let's turn on the radio see we got playing this morning and let's test out the clarity of this one definitely very nice sound system plenty of bass I don't need the massaging seats because there was so much bass but definitely very nice more than enough of a sound system for the x7 by the way another thing I wanted to mention to turn that radio up or down there is gesture control available that's what I've been playing around with quite a bit in this one so simply turn your finger in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation and that's going to turn the volume up or down definitely pretty fun to play around with but last thing on the tech display of one dimension is when you do put the x7 in reverse you will find a rear view camera that will come standard on every single trim level however there is a parking assistance package available for an additional 700 that's going to give you a surround view monitor with 3d technology and parking assistant plus where it parallel parks itself but definitely helps you out with visibility when it comes to putting it in reverse there but as always that is going to leave me into safety and so to start there are front side and side curtain airbags in the back there is latch aka lower anchors and tethers for children for the rear car seats also standard frontal collision warning with sitting collision mitigation lane departure warning blind spot detection with rear cross traffic alert and I also wanted to mention an off-road package and this goes for $1650 but I put this in safety because you never know when you're going to go on some gravel roads or back roads or something like that or snow where you might need this because this is going to give you a mechanical differential lock and some off-road driving modes including sand rock gravel and snow and this is going to adjust things like the height of the x7 the x drive system accelerator response shift points and the dsc system as well hey so but anyways that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for watching be sure to like the video and
