Is there a way we can display weather radar on our X7s? I have it on my Lexus and Volvo and wondered if it was on an app on my X7 but can't seem to find one. Just curious.

Not inside iDrive. You are limited to what the BMW Weather app shows you. Of course, BMW could always update the app in the future, but I would not hold my breath... Android phones have the ability to mirror on the iDrive screen so mirroring your phone and using an appropriate android weather app on your android phone is the closest you will get to having weather radar show up on your iDrive screen.

With my F15 iD6, you could display weather and temps on the navigation map, but that of course was dependent on ConnectedDrive connection status LOL.
