If you get this bad boy it'll be interesting to hear your impressions of it compared to your old GLS.
I will!

That looks really nice. Did they total your MBZ?

It’s in the shop now being analyzed. Should know soon.

Well USAA did not total our
GL550 after the
accident.
It was getting long in the tooth though at 110,000 miles so we decided to purchase the used X7 shown earlier. We were quite impressed with the M50i’s 523 HP / 563 foot pound engine and massive brakes. It should do well with towing. We’ll report back on that. Plus the BMW app for connectivity control when not near the vehicle is as close to Tesla’s as I have seen by any of the legacy car manufacturers. Kudos to BMW. Hopefully other manufacturers will follow in that department as it’s the future.
And yes, the Bowers and Wilkins immersive sound system is the bomb.
Our only complaint for now is the slow operation of the middle row seats to fold and move forward to allow entry into the third row. That’s a first word problem though.
Without pics it didn’t happen so……(and notice the hitch)

Hey! The BMW X7 is a great choice if you're looking for a bigger car for city driving. It combines luxury with plenty of space, making it ideal for both city commutes and longer trips. Since you mentioned that the car is in another city and you need to bring it over, you might consider hiring a professional auto transport service. They can handle all the logistics and ensure your car arrives safely without the hassle of driving it yourself.
