This thread is premature. Give the GLS some time breathe, debut properly and be seen in real world settings.
In the last few years, the press photos of all 3 Germans have been piss poor at the best of times.

Generally I consider full sized three row SUVs to be clumsy and disproportionate.
......but, credit when credit is due. The X7 is BMW’s first SUV of this kind and it’s a 10 out of 10.
It beats the GLS in many areas including:
-C pillar design which is usually THE point of weakness in this segment
-Visual differentiation from the X5/GLE
-Third row luxury
-Seat design
-Exterior finesse regardless of trim.
However I think the GLS will still be a very attractive car and look less soft than photos suggest. The GLE for example looks very crisp and refreshing in person.

This thread would have been more interesting with a poll.
I am leaning toward the X7 on this one. The GLS is nice up to the A-Pillar in sport trim (which is needed)/ after that it falls apart at the seams IMO.
The car-fat on this vehicle is about as attractive as a hefty Wal-Mart mom in high heels if you are into that sort of thing.
The X7 is large to but the designers have kept the fat off by giving it sharper details where the seams join together. This is important to keep the overall packaging in check on big SUVs and Vans.
The design of the X7 is a bit more handsome and business-like and will stand out more with executive upscaled packaging.

In pictures BMW X7 looks much nicer on the outside where as the GLS look so much like a last year vehicle in comparison. The GLS' headlight design is very ordinary and the tail light design is also quite unattractive. I do prefer the design of GLS/GLE interior over the X5/X7 which is still brilliant but very familiar. Overall X7 for me by miles.

X7. I usually like a little donk-donk-donk in the rear, but the X7 caboose is tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight whereas the GLS has a little too much jiggle there.
PS: I am aware of the irony of calling a large SUV/CUV's rear tight.

Maybe this thread can be edited or a new thread started with a poll when the official pics of the GLS comes out.Would be unfair to use the limited leaked pictures of the GLS we’ve seen thus far.
