Wouldn't it be AMAZING if someone from BMW would pop on here and give an official explanation as to the whys behind the naming of the series of the SAV line up. Why not an X7.

Actually...i'd be a prime candidate for the X7. After a recent addition to my family, i've been looking for a larger (performance-oriented) SUV. IMO, the X5 makes zero sense as a 7-seater. Was previously considering smaller performance SUV/SAV but after the addition, i've been recently looking at G-wagons, GL550, Hummer H2, Audi Q7, Chevy Tahoe, ETC...

BMW X7 would've been perfect.

It's interior is smaller than X5 e70. If you are talking about the H2 or 4. Well even the original military spec; its only a 4 seater. BMW does need a competitor to GL.

None of those are a *FULL* 7 seater except the Tahoe. And even then, Suburban would be better if you want to utilize all 7 seats.

Good thing it wasn't a full minute....

I agree with others. Not many of the vehicles you listed a really great if you need full time 7 seating. If that is the case, you may want to look for a minivan or wait for BMW to come out with one. How many troops do you have?

Minivan?...

Never...not my style. No pun to those that do...different strokes i guess. Troops consist of a newborn and dog (second dog being considered). The GL550 would actually fit my circumstances perfectly...the ideal 7 seater would not be a DD but a road trip family hauler and to tow the toys during different seasons.

As much as the X6 has grown on me, imo the X7 makes much more sense...at least in limited numbers. Just hoping it's not off the table completely.

Get an Escalade ESV or a XL Denali. Best option for a 7 seater with luxury and style.

I agree that an X7 would be good, but it would be limited as the price tag would be well over $100k.

+1 for X7

I too am struggle with X5 coz it is simply not really big enough. If the new X5 in 2014 is not any larger than the E70, I think I will jump ship to the dark side AUDI an MB.
