While searching for my 2nd BMW (at the time), the biggest reason I chose the 740iL over the X5 3.0/5 is because of the lack of legroom. 4 out of 5 of my best friends are at least 6'2" or taller like myself, so small backseats with a bunch of fatties just doesnt work  I purchased the X5 I have now just because I want to keep the miles off the other two and usually take one of my trailers with me while taking roadtrips between Reno or Seattle, so I needed an SUV. While I'll never get rid of the 7 because it's practically brand new mechanically, having an X7 with the rear legroom of the iL would be a complete win-win for me.
