Great shots.

I have similar dilemma now. She gets to park her 22 X7 M50i next to the M8.

My sons are loving all the Ms in the house

I tried to persuade her to get the X7 but she says it looks like a hearse—subjective but it looks good to me.

Looks long for sure compared to the X5 but I have 4 boys.

As it is its way shorter than the Escalade ESV that I traded in for her.

X7 m50i is a true well rounded daily for anyone that needs the space. The new split headlight design is a no go in my book.

The car is exceptionally smooth and in M50 form, very responsive and powerful. Also has a great growl to go with it.

I absolutely love it. Wives still and always will complain. Her biggest gripe is, How am I supposed to go to COSTCO with this?
I personally think that alone is a savings for me

Thabk you for sharing your experience
I think X7 is way to go when it is time to get rid of the X5.
I am just waiting for the new X7 to come out hopefully by the end of this year

I'm not sure to whom your question was directed so I'll assume me: the M8 is silverstone, the X5 is ivory white w/ night blue.
