There are some pretty cool comparisons on YouTube about them. Pretty cool technology behind them, some even have 50k plus warranties.

Gorgeous vehicle! Apparently I need to start dropping hints to my man. We’re both car enthusiasts, but I think I’m slowly converting him to BMW every time he drives my ‘15 X5 F15 (one of his is a Lexus GX 470).
Definitely want to get into an X7 eventually. This one is goals!! |

If it suits your needs I say do it! No sense in spending 6-figures on a vehicle that you don’t love. I will say though. Modding is an addiction. First thing we do while car shopping is think of ways to make it look better or unique. |

Snow day! Ceramic coating helped keep it cleaner looking for a short while.

Soft close lets you be more gentle with the door. Instead of using force to ensure that it actually latches, you can hold the door all the way to just short of being closed and let the mechanism do the rest. I have a loaner right now without soft close and I found myself not fully closing the door for the first couple days because of the muscle memory.

Helps you sneak in the house without waking up the wife when you stay out a little too late.

Thanks!
In case you missed it, the PPF and ceramic coating were both a DIY project. PPF materials cost $3K. Ceramic coating bottle $100. In my area, I was quoted $9.5K-$12K for PPF on an X7. This varies depending on region and installer. Tint I paid to have installed and it was $550. |

You can install M mirrors top cover cap + supporting ring part instead of standard ones. Cost is ~ 125 euro + VAT per mirror.

Since you mentioned no custom ET's, does the extra 1" in front and rear compared to OEM's make up for it? I wanted to get these but so they pop out more than OEM but I dont want use spacers due to EU laws... Second, any riding quality difference or consumpion increase? |
