Finally unwrapped and installed the rear seat pillows and I must say that I'm very underwhelmed.
My previous 750 had the pillows too. Those were much softer and actually matched the interior color. These feel cheap as hell and the fabric is rough to the touch. I get that this is totally a First World problem, but it's crazy that the shade of the Pillow would be so far off from my Tartufo interior.

I knew something wasn't right. Thanks for the feedback.

Looks like it belongs in a 1971 Ford LTD.

It has to be a supply issue. I wouldn’t be surprised if BMW stops including them with the recent cutbacks all together.
You may be able to find one of the older (2020) produced Tartufo pillows. Our earlier thread shows a pic of my pillows. Show the pic to your service department that you didn’t get these pillows that match and they should wind you a set gratis. BMW makes two different designs of these “ cuddle pillows “. I bought a ivory set for my last G05 X5 that snaps over the head rest and it would work for our X7 3rd row head rest. If you wanted to take your 3rd row over the top opulent.

Everybody gets cuddle pillows.
It looks to me like you got the wrong color pillows. They're made out of alcantara (suede) leather, hence the rough finish, like the interior headliner. My black cuddle pillows look and feel great on my 2021 M50i with Captain's chairs

As Mystro pointed out, none of the Tartufo interiors he posted have matching pillows. Kind of a shame if you ask me. I'll probably end up having my seamstress make me matching leather ones using these as a pattern. I had her do a run of meditation pillows last year that turned out really nice. My confidence in BMW doing anything to rectify this situation is woefully low at this point.

This my best natural light pic of my cuddle pillows. You do get a lighter look from a angle because it is suede but strait on it matches as good as fuzzy suede and finished leather I think can get. You have two different surface textures that will play with the shades of color. Oddly enough in the artificial light of the vehicle at night, both look spot on in color.
Al Pina, unless it’s your camera, your pillows look too red/burgundy in color and not “orange/brown” enough??? I think the dye lot was wrong with yours or even the alcantara supplier was changed if yours isn’t soft/supple. Last edited by MystroX5; 01-18-2022 at 08:13 PM.. |

I'm using a newer iPhone so I doubt it's the camera. In both natural and artificial light they look awful. I'll mention again that I'm comparing them to a 750 pillow that I very recently got rid of so I'm familiar with its look and feel. You would think they were from two separate brands of cars. Like something cheap and derivative that Kia would do.
It's not a huge deal to me in the scheme of things. I'll just put them back in the bag for now. Thank you to all that commented. Much appreciated.

You paid for it, every X7 (with the package) has it. Better go talk to your dealer right away and make sure they’re ordering them for you because it’s part of the vehicle. I would be pretty pissed otherwise. |
