Door projectors with the badge ... show me something limited
Yeah, I get it. There are definitely some special edition elements, namely the paint. These 22" rims look to be the blacked-out versions of the other 22" X7 rims--the 22" black wheels all of us have been wanting to get, but not previously available. But could be more "special", or limited edition.

I've never owned a matte paint car before, but do like the look. Quick research seems to indicate that PPF and ceramic is still possible. Would need to protect the paint, and yes, would require extra work.
I mean they toyed a bit with the colors.
Doesn't really qualify for limited edition in my book.

Blacked out 22" wheels. Anyone could've blacked out his similar wheels rendering it unlimited anymore. Paint *meh* individual that.
Not limited.
Limited in my book is something that's totally new and isn't similar to anything out there in total.

Take the BX7 wheels. Their exclusive to Alpina

What's exclusive to this shadow limited edition shape not just color variations. Granted the alcantara is one for the seats.but what else?

I do have to agree. Would have been more "limited edition" to have a new body molding piece, or leather (ahem... LAVALINA), or engine (or even engine programming) you can't get on any other model. With the exception of the semi-exclusive matte paint, you're right, everything seems to be a coloration variant of existing M50i components.

So, think you have to take it for what it is. A special color variation of a standard M50i.

Woodcliff Lake, NJ – July 23, 2020...Today, BMW announces a very limited edition X7 for those seeking a darker and more mysterious side to their 7-passenger Sports Activity Vehicle. The 2021 X7 Dark Shadow Edition will be built at Plant Spartanburg (SC), BMW Group's largest global production plant, starting this August for worldwide markets and in Q4 for the U.S. 600 vehicles will be built for customers around the world with approximately 75 units reserved for the U.S.

Pre-ordering will kick-off on July 23rd at 6:01 pm EST [Now] on www.shopbmwusa.com/X7-Dark- Shadow-Edition-Pre-Order. A refundable $1,000 deposit will reserve one of the limited edition vehicles online with the purchase details being completed with your selected dealer. The X7 Dark Shadow Edition is equipped with a very comprehensive selection of standard and optional equipment and packages, the only option at pre-order being the selection of second row Captain's Chairs vs. the standard three-person bench seat.

BMW Individual design features

The X7 Dark Shadow Edition will be painted in a BMW Individual Frozen Arctic Grey metallic matte finish, marking the first time this special paint is available on an X vehicle. Extended Shadowline high-gloss black trim is applied to the door window trim, B- and C-pillar covers, side-mirror base covers and roof rails, kidney grille, and air breather trim. The tips of the M Sport exhaust system are also finished in black chrome.

22-inch M V-spoke bicolor matte Jett Black light-allow wheels are shod with mixed-size performance run-flat tires.

The interior, which can be ordered in either a six or seven passenger configuration, also receives exclusive touches to set this X7 apart from the rest. BMW Individual Full Merino Leather in two-tone Night Blue/Black with contrast stitching covers the seats. The BMW Individual headliner is trimmed with Night Blue Alcantara. The upper dashboard, doors and armrests are trimmed in Night Blue Nappa Leather while the lower dash and front seatbacks are covered in Black Merino leather. BMW Individual Fineline wood trim with aluminium inserts on the upper console area finishes off the exclusive feel of this special X7.

BMW Individual Piano Black trim on the lower center console is used as a backdrop for the limited-edition badge.

I haven't really given the X7 much thought. I bet that interior looks way better in person. The only thing I would change are the special edition badges. It looks bad ass from the exterior shots.

I really like the M-sport X7s. This one is awesome in my book. I shouldn't have shown it to my wife. She went nuts over it.

Best full size luxury SUV on the market. Great performance paired with luxury interior and majestic appearance. If I ever needed a full size SUV, this would be my choice.

Already created my own version that's arguably darker than this dark shadow. Nice to see BMW offer frozen paint, wish they would allow more paint specific options on X models for those of us willing to pay the premium. The rest of this is the usual "special edition" packages BMW puts together from existing parts.

Nice option for someone after a top spec. Like the interior a lot.

Matte paint is tough to keep perfect especially if you're an OCD clean person like me. Been there done that, not doing it again. I would PPF the entire vehicle if I bought that for sure.... so add another 5k or more to the budget to cover that if you want it done properly.

Congrats WildBlue I have been on here as long as you have so I get the reasoning behind pulling the trigger now with all this uncertainty going on on what looks to be a fairly well equipped vehicle. I pulled the 2020 M50i fully loaded trigger because of all the 2021 uncertainty and I'm glad I did given the discounts that I got. Hopefully you get a good discount on this special edition but my guess is the dealers are going to hold price on it closer to MSRP.

Welcome to the M50i family , mine is arriving next week and I can't wait Watching those dots for two months has been rough.

Haven't got the call from the dealer yet. Production starts August (next week?) for rest of the world, USA comes Q4 2020, so I'm guessing like November
