The Beast X7

The staff at BMW was really very welcoming drive quality is fantastic the engine makes you feel the punch looks are fantastic as its rood presence is mind-blowing i have not serviced it yet PROS:- it has a lot of space in it, speakers are good, etc CONS:- bench seat option should be available

Very nice experience

I have driven the car for almost a year (6500km). It has very good torque and feels very premium to drive. The service centre experience is very good. Worth the price and highly recommend
