I'm curious to know whether you are satisfied with the AC. It's not even summer yet and I'm already concerned that the AC isn't strong enough, especially for how loud the fans are.
Also wondering if you notice any excessive wind noise around the mirrors at highway speeds. My Q5 has massive mirrors, bigger than the X7's, but I don't recall them being this loud.
I don't know if tires, esp. run-flats have a break-in period, but I think I also hear a faint rumble when coasting at highway speeds. Could just be my OCD, but I'm going to set up a service appointment to have all these three things looked into.

Thanks man! I will Ceramic coat it in the next few weeks. Asked the dealer not to even touch it/detail it to avoid any microscratch from their detailers lol just washed it myself when I took it home. Regarding ppf, I have done so much research back when I got my Cayenne and the ROI is not there. Ceramic would be great to get it shine better and make it easier to wash. I also plan to tint the front windows.
I turned on AC on a day that was around 75 degrees out and it was fine. Make sure you move the sliders in settings all the way to the left on driver and passenger climate settings as it make a big difference but regardless, the design of center vents are so so bad on the LCI that there is no way you can adjust it high enough to get enough air blowing to your head.
Regarding wind noise, I drove it on highway for around 100 miles but it was raining a lot which may be why I didn't notice any unusual road/wind noise. I am not a fan of BMW mirror design in general as most of the time they cause wind noise being mounted on the window and not the body. Even my 760 had some wind noise that the dealer said "it is normal". Let me know what the dealer tells you about this when you take it in.
What brand are your tires? In general, I hate runflats and usually replace them with non-RFs but this time I am trying to convince myself to drive the OEM Bridgestones as long as possible and then waste $ lol
