to add to this... we got ours about three weeks ago and put about 900 miles on it. What I can't figure out is how to see the odometer while driving? The only time I see it is when I turn off the engine. While driving the map displays block the area where I typically see the odometer reading.

Less than pumped on my Alpina XD7
I just purchased a 21 XD7 and its a nice car but I also have a few things I'm less than pumped about. I'd like to say over all I really like the car!
But as this other person noted the control for climate and some other things that were easy to use before are now a dozen clicks away distracting the driver making it less safe than previous models in some ways. *The back seat is just ok nothing special and I have the captains chairs. They sit very flat both front to back and side to side making them lifeless and lacking luxury. You never get into a laid back relaxed position like the older 7 series. I'd have to say similar for the front seats, they're better but also don't tilt back like the older 7 or E70 X5 with multi contour seating so you don't get the support behind the knee's a true luxury car should have. *They also should have made some sort of foot rest in the back. *They didn't include the display key, at $155k it should have it. *They didn't include any mounts for rear entertainment, again at $155k I shouldn't be buying extra things to complete the car, these things aren't custom items it has the holes for the mount. *A LOT of plastic around the seats, driver controls and console. *More wind noise than I expect to have in luxury. *Very minimal interior difference between the Alpina and any other X7. *Suspension doesn't allow to select highest setting over 19MPH and will only go into lowest setting over 150MPH. If it's safe for the car to ride at the low setting at 150MPH then I should be able to at 55MPH... *They used both chrome and black trim on the outside, pick a trim color... ***Its VERY fast for a SUV I don't feel the need to upgrade anything about performance and that makes it the only car I didn't change or want to change performance. ***It rides great for a vehicle with 23" wheels ***Great looking SUV in my opinion ***Roomy ***Materials feel high quality with the exception of having to much plastic the other materials feel very nice. Would just have been nicer if they continued those materials where they added plastic. ***Besides changing the chrome trim to black and powder coating the wheels gloss black, tinting front 2 windows I don't feel the need to customize the look. Again I always either have or wanted to change the look of every car I've had. Its a very nice SUV but BMW seems to not have the attention for detail like it did in the past. I think they lost some of that since they have so many different models that I couldn't even begin to name anymore. Over all I love it, drives like a dream smooth and fast. These things are just me being a picky prick but I feel with no money on some and very little money on others it would put the car over the top. Just my opinion talk as much trash as you wish Quote:
