I am pretty sure BMW is doing away with the 3.5mm Aux port plug as most modern devices, in particular phones, don't use them to transfer data and music between the device and the car - Bluetooth and/or USB is the medium of choice. Also, CarPlay in BMWs uses WiFi as well for the data connection.
In the few X7's I have looked at, including one I test drove recently, I did not see an aux port. My F80 M3 has an Aux port, but it is not needed. Either Bluetooth or USB is all that is needed. It is not surprising that BMW is dropping the Aux port going forward. Hell, even the new iPhones don't have 3.5 mm plugs anymore - and we all know how BMW has biased their ICE towards Apple over Android.
