Ouch.
Just picked mine up last evening (40i, dark graphite metallic over ivory/night blue individual). I will post some comments after a few weeks of driving. Initially, the drive is really tuned for comfort and the cabin is very quiet. These initial observations are in-line with my test-drive conclusions.

What happened?
I saw the preview of the video above and for a second I thought the photos were of the car after it fell back down the hill!

Agreed.
I generally dislike SUVs and when I saw spy shots of the X7 I wasn’t exactly thrilled or enamored with it.
But the design quickly grows on you, at least it did on me. This is actually a very nice-looking and classy (yes, classy!) SUV. At first or second glance you might not think so, but the more you see it the more it grows on you. At BMW Welt they have a blue X7 and man, that thing looks great.

As said before: there's quite substantial interest from Range Rover owners for the X7. Even among fleet customers - which was a nice positive surprise for BMW Sales department.
BMW Design department has really managed to design & style an high-end full size SAV that manages to attracts all: families, fleet buyers, those wanting classy & sporty alternative to Range Rover, plus all the more "extroverted" customers who want their large SAV bling-ed or menace-d. Depends on Line and trim.
The last time BMW did that was with the 1st gen X5 (E53). X7 is definitely a home run for BMW.
Btw, there's also a very positive response to 7er LCI, and to the 8er family. The 8er GC - shown to VIP customers (and to media a few weeks ago) - generated the biggest interest. Quite some Panamera owners were approached & poached.
An interest in THE models (7er, X7 & 8ers) will help to boost BMW's profit - and that's very important in these turbulent times (possible EU fines for collusion, possible trade wars, increased expenses for R&D - mainly for BEVs & autonomous driving etc.
Oh, it was announced by the CEO @ Annual Shareholder meeting they are aiming at #1 ... in USA, and Worldwide ... while Chine will be a bit harder nut to crack & to overtake MB there (BMW still lags in production capacities in China compared o MB & Audi - thus the sales lag since Made in China models are the biggest sellers there). Btw, some shareholders were quite critical BMW is to slow & too conservative when it comes to BEV models expansion. But the Quandts & other big institutional shareholders still stick with the CEO & Board's current "Number ONE > Next" strategy (gradual transition to BEVs ... not putting all eggs in one basket only too quickly). Btw, BMW will start to make battery cells (battery packs are already made in-house, while the cells are supplied by suppliers) on their own only when solid state battery tech is ready for mass production.
