I'd wait until next production cycle updates which usually takes place around April 2021. Supply channel improve by then though the take rate on night vision is still very low in the USA compared to EU.

I recall a post by an X7 owner who optioned night vision and he wasn't impressed. I think he said if he could do it over he would pass on it. I've never seen it in action so I have no direct knowledge of this option but I noticed it's not even available on the very limited production 2021 Alpina XB7 so it's probably not coming back.

I've heard stories from both sides on night vision. There are some people that absolutely love it too. I've never had it but wanted every option and it sounds pretty cool to me. Just got my custom order in today for 2020. Fully loaded 40i...$105.5k MSRP. Also can't wait for the Full Merino, B&W, everything. Sad this wasn't a 2021 but still should last me a good plenty years.

Totally with you on that one. And with the travel comfort system still looks neat and integrated.

Doesn't the RES allow a firestick or the similar to be plugged in to give you apps?

The loss of all these items forced me to pull the trigger earlier than expected. It was super hard to even find a 2020 M50i allocation to modify. I came across 40i allocations while searching but those seem to also be running out. I eventually found one a few states away in the end and now have an all optioned M50i locked in at 112 status. I would say it's getting to slim pickings now if you're looking for a 2020 M50i so don't hesitate if you can't live with the present 2021 available options. Hopefully in your area you have an easier time finding an existing allocation to modify since there seems to be no new 2020 allocations coming out anymore. Best of luck in your search brother! My search wasn't fun at all |

Do you have older passengers? With little kids iPads are almost worthless because you can't control them from up front. If my youngest was 8 I'd be great with iPads.

I'm always torn on the bench. I understand that it is useful/practical but to be honest I have a 7 seater SUV now and NO ONE likes to sit in the center of the bench for long drives across country. In the end I went with the captains chairs instead for my M50i. Also, in my 15 years of owning 7 seater SUVs it's very rare (if ever) I have that many people on a long trip in one vehicle...I would just break out a second vehicle and have the family in two vehicles at that point so everyone is comfortable plus I would have more space for luggage with two vehicles...this is the same choice I make for short trips if that many family members are around. So in the end on paper it seems practical in real life I'm not so sure. If I were hauling that many bodies all the time I would get something truly large but 6 is the most I see.

Keep in mind that the Captains Chairs do not fold down flat like the bench does, thus minimizing the amount of cargo space you may need. In fact, they don't fold down at all IIRC - they just move back enough so people can get in/out from the 3rd row. Some people have opted for the Captains Chairs not realizing this since most SUV's with Captains Chairs, like my previous Ford Expedition SUV with Captains Chairs, do fold down fully flat.

The main reason why I skipped them. I also don't like the plastic that comes on the rear of the chairs and the one on the center console.
