BMW X7 would've been perfect.

Hummer?

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.

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.
