I now find the wireless charging pad location a trivial annoyance. If you have drinks in the cup holders (I know, blasphemous), it can be a challenge to reach for the phone since it’s blocked.
Every vehicle has its plus delta’s but overall we’re loving the X7. The Hello BMW thing isn’t too bad. We’ve used it a few times now when needing to quickly find an address or directions. |

That being said, I LOVE the idea of cooled cupholders, keeping my can of Diet Coke at least a little cool as I drive. People have reported the heating/cooling function as being useful, even if it's not overwheliming. Seems silly, but they're actually a "must have" for me. |

Has anybody else been called by a BMW corporate rep? I received an email last week saying they’d be giving me a call to hear my feedback. Today, someone called and truly wanted to hear my feedback — what are my favorite things about the car and what do they need to work on. He talked to me for over 30 minutes. On some issues, I pointed out things and said “this hasn’t happened to me personally, but some of my friends on Bimmerpost....” 😂 He gave me his phone number to call back when I thought of more questions. It’s nice to have a company care about what their drivers thing. Suffice it to say that after purchasing six new Mercedes over the years, nobody from MBUSA ever called to check in.

There also seems to be a hardware or software glitch with those seats and or sensors based on another thread. If you can’t get the seat to clear the error by lifting the top seat pull lever and having the seat reset it’s motion, you may need a service appt.

Not sure if I should start a new thread but..
I have the brightness up all the way on both displays. Anyone else's fairly dim around dawn? I think the car thinks it's still dark outside and therefore keeps it dim. I go and get coffee around 6:30am sometimes and its a bit hard to see, because it is light out. Is that something you can change with a hack? Last edited by kdesign7; 07-09-2019 at 05:53 AM.. |

I’m embarrassed to say I have never seen that knob until I read your reply! 🤦🏻*♀️ Thanks. My display brightness has been fine, but it’s nice to know it can be adjusted.

I thought it was all the way up but my husband must have turned it down. Although I did turn it up it didn't seem to be making the displays brighter just the interior lights. Maybe I'll have to try tonight and see after it gets a bit darker again. |

So it does change the displays but only when it thinks it's night. (did it in my garage) So I was trying to change it during the day and it doesn't do anything. I do think initially it was turned down a bit. So hopefully that helps.

This may help also. In idrive under Car settings—interior lighting uncheck “dim at night” or something to that effect. The early morning hours where your headlights are on may cause the interior to be dimmed if this box is checked. Not sure about this but worth a try
