Sorry, I wasn't comparing 7 series to X1.
What I meant was that X1 is impressive compared to competitors in it's class such as Audi Q3.
However, 7 series did not impress me as much compared to offerings from MB and Audi, especially since it is brand new and others are at least 3-4 years old versions.
New 7 series has better wood and seats than the prior 7 version but interior appeared less well integrated to me.
Some elements are ultra-modern but others are more antique and therefore, don't work well together.
Dashboard cowl seems to be higher, leading to the "sunk" feeling that I hated about the current S Class.
I would rather wait for the new 5 series (which may turn out to be just a shortened version of 7) or next Audi 8; or even new LS or Equus.
