Thank you
I didn't even notice that until my CA sent me the pictures I posted. I guess I just assumed that's how Merino came in the LCIs but now that you bring this up I'm perusing kilter.com looking at pictures from models on dealer lots. Snagged a picture from a model with Extended Tartufo and attached it; no design to the back pocket at all. I can't find any actual pictures of Full Tartufo or Full Black Merino but I highly suspect ordering the full leather option is what gets you the pocket with the upgraded design. Good catch!

My first BMW with full leather kind of ruined me for any other setup. The extra leather on the lower parts of the dash and doors really adds to the opulence. It was a must-have for me when I ordered.

Hi,

An excellent choice for the car!

I have had my sparking copper and the same 22" wheels (and coffee interior) for about four weeks now and it definitely worth waiting for the car! living in the north, you will evidence the car color will look different depending on how the weather that day!

I also live in the north and wondering which tires you ordered. Can you share it with me?

Thanks, and likewise to you!

I've got Pirelli Scorpion Winters. I ordered the run flat versions to match the OEM spec. I've had Scorpion Winters on several vehicles over the years and they never disappoint. Not many other choices in the OEM size anyway but you'll be happy with them. Pirelli has a $70 rebate and TireRack has a $100 rebate right now if you're looking to order.

Thank you, I assume it is the 285/45/22?

No. I ordered the exact same staggered setup; 275/40R22 fronts and 315/35R22 rears.

Sounds like a blast! Though I'd probably be too tempted to take it for a spin, right back to my house. We could call it an extended test drive while the stop sale continues.

So, as many of you already know, there's a stop sale in place on X7s currently. After what has been the fastest build I've ever experienced (less than 48 hours from assembly line to dealer delivery), I have to wait until a software update is released before I can take delivery. Major bummer of course but my awesome CA blew up my phone with pictures to drool/lust over in the meantime. I'm really stoked and couldn't be any happier with the color. I usually get white cars but wanted to change things up this time. I wanted to share some great pics in the sun for anyone who wants to see them.

I checked every box on the order but the captains chairs. Also can confirm that currently the sunshade is alcantara when you order the alcantara headliner in upholstery color; you get a non-alcantara sunshade if you order black (as of right now).

Can't wait to take her home!! The IT folks at BMW need to hurry the hell up…
Looks badass, I was bummed when our 22 arrived with the fabric sunshade. Our X5M had the Alcantara and looked so much more refined. We also got the piano black trim in the third row instead of the matching wood ash trim.

I’m looking at an M60i in the exact same trim except for exterior color. How are you still liking it? Do you have any trouble keeping the light interior clean? Happy with the throttle response?

Diamond stitched seatback pockets are a feature of full merino interior. Extd. does not have them. I have full merino tartufo in mine, and have the diamond stitching.

I totally misread the OG post. I’m looking to do the same - trade a ‘23 40i for a ‘23 M60i with the ivory and atlas gray interior.
