The wrinkles in the seats are intentional, and more pronounced with Vernasca Leather than they are with Merino. This is the case with the X5 and X7.

With the F15 X5, one of the frequent comments was that the rear seats aren't too comfortable, where people would say they don't have enough give in them when you sit down and you don't sink into the seats much until the leather wears in. Vernasca Leather is a bit softer than Dakota, but to alleviate the comfort concerns, they intentionally leave some excess material in there when stitching so when you go to sit in it, you sit more IN the seat than you would if the leather was stretched tighter.

Form follows function here. It might not look gorgeous to everyone's eyes, but it's functional and absolutely does result in a more comfortable seat.

You notice them much less with Merino Leather because the leather is naturally much softer, so there's less of a need to allow that extra room when stitching the seat covers.

more voices need to be heard on this pos design so they can wake the fuck up smell the coffee, we need sliding sun visors too. if the x7 doesn't have that then you know fuk em
Sure, but you're not driving from shoulder POV, are you? If you're sitting remotely upright, you can see everything clear as day.
