Obviously not the X7, but the basic process of how to run the wiring and taking apart interior tim pieces is the same. Also, since the BMW repair procedures are available online, all of the correct resources are available to do a quality job (I used those same procedures to do my dash cam install).

Admittedly, I have not decided if I want to install an aftermarket cam in an X7 as I usually prefer leaving things looking OEM in the cabin. The new factory camera features coming to the X5/X7 may even allow the factory cameras to perform more like an aftermarket dash cam, which would be preferred for me if the functionality is up to par. Only time will tell I guess.
