Does anyone have experience with BMW individual on their M50i build?

My request is really simple. On the full Merino Ivory interior, swap the ivory belts for black.

On paper this seems easy…in reality so far I can’t make any headway.

The Ivory belts are not a deal breaker by any means but it’s frustrating.

The individual visualizer shows black belts on the Ivory interior options for the X7. (Actually they show M comp belts). NA is saying this is in error.

Any thoughts?

Individual visualizer is an international market site. In regards to USA markets, the site is primarily used for visualizing Individual exterior paint colors available for the vehicle - all the other options are market specific. Gotta read the fine print.

"All vehicles, equipment, combination possibilities and varieties shown here are examples and can differ in your country. In no way do they constitute a binding offer by the BMW M GmbH. Visit your local BMW website or see your authorised BMW M Retailer for accurate details on the offers in your country."

"The BMW Individual Manufaktur Visualizer serves as a visualization aid. The presented content of the online and print version may differ from the exact appearance of the vehicle. Furthermore, some shown content may only be confirmed subject to a feasibility check by BMW M GmbH."

But while the seat belt swap sounds easy, it's a one-off request that BMWNA doesn't entertain, eg like ordering M50i with 40i M Sport wheels.

Thanks. I guess I am too spoiled by Porsche Exclusive.

I can see if I wanted red belts or something like that. They just need to grab black ones from a different bin!

BMW Individual for X SAVs isn't the full bespoke Individual Manufaktur program that's offered on their sedas, coupes and convertibles.

BMWNA limits BMW Individual for NA SAVs to predefined upholstery, Priority 1 trim, Individual serial paints $1950, preselected Individual 490 paints $5K.

Ja, if you're spoiled by Porsche Exclusive, BMWNA's X SAV offerings isn't very "exclusive".

Thanks. That makes sense as I swore I have seen M cars with more oddball requests.

A friend of mine has F15 with full indiv ivory leather and seatbelts are black. He also has the indiv alcantara roof in ivory kind of color (all as ordered from BMW). Are you sure the seatbelts will be ivory. For F15 they came in ivory color only with ivory dakota leather, invidivdual (i think it is called smoke
White indiv) they came with black seatbelts. Sorry not giving exact info to your answer.

100% positively confident that extended and full Ivory Merino has ivory safety restraints, including Ivory/Night Blue.

This is true.

It’s unfortunate.

I would much rather have an Oyster/black interior. The ivory is certainly nice but there could be a bit more black for my taste. Deviated seat belt color is not bad but I don’t get why white?

I spent some time with the Tartufo interior today. It comes off as a tad orange against Alpine white. Coffee seems muddy.

My wife has an E90 in alpine/oyster and wants as close to the same colors as possible it seems.
