He told me for every cheapskate like me, theres 3-4 willing to pay sticker on a new redesigned model. He even had me down for their first allocation on a 580. I think that car will be hard to get a decent discount on for a while. Its hard to pit the x7 against it as well because although I like both vehicles, and prefer the sportier look of the x7, Ive found that the x7 styling is either loved or hated, while the Benz much more subdued look may appeal to a broader market and hence stronger sales for them, which could help those looking for a deal on the x7.

There is high demand on the 580. I get invoice on both; without delay on the 450 and 580 at the end of the year.
The issue I have with the GLS is the lack of options at the moment. No Designo or exclusive Nappa options until the end of the year at minimum and no AMG appearance package (which I like) on the 450.
Getting invoice has never been a big deal but I already have this confirmed in writing.
Personally I prefer the GLS 580 styling with the AMG appearance package/23" wheels but I have to decide if the lack of interior choices is worth the wait.
The X7 I looked at was Arctic Gray and had the Ivory White/Night Blue Full Leather Merino, captains chairs with Ash Grain Silver Gray High Gloss trim.
I really like full leather light interiors so on the BMW, the interior was the winner.
The problem I have is that all X7's in our area are pretty boring builds...
