I have the same exact build except dapp & I have 22”s. Have not decided on tint but this might do it for me. Enjoy in good health sir.
Such a fine automobile.

Wow congrats! TB looks great and complements the ivory interior well. I'm sure it was worth the agonizing wait. Enjoy every mile.

Nice, I'm thinking of the same. What % was everything? How much dimmer is the sky lounge with the tint? Thanks!
55% on sunroofs and front windshield, 5% on front two and 20% on all backs. It's a little bit dimmer as expected but not significant enough to care. Anything darker would be too much.
Did the rears not come with tint built in from the factory?

For US spec yes, so you have to play around with the tint % to balance front and back

Two random questions
1) why pick up so far away?
2) does or should the paint cure before work is done to it? Or does it leave the factory ready? (Thinking is body shops that tell you to wait after work).

Like so many others on here I was waiting for my ordered vehicle to arrive and I was going to post a quick picture or two when it did, but I thought my weird pickup experience warranted a bit more.

In a nutshell BMW lost the vehicle after it left the factory for over a week and no one knew where it was located . It showed that it was delivered to the dealership in BMW's system (as confirmed by multiple BMW geniuses and a supervisor), the transport company confirmed it was delivered to the dealership, and the dealership confirmed acceptance of the vehicle to the transport company… yet the vehicle wasn’t on the dealership’s lot. I found this out after 5 days of waiting (2 of those days I was in a hotel waiting to pickup the car that supposedly arrived 3 days before) when I randomly called LMR trucking with my VIN and figured out they were the transport company. When I initially questioned all three parties, they all pointed fingers at one of the other two or both. I convinced an awesome girl that worked at LMR that everyone was wrong and pleaded with her to look beyond the clearly botched paperwork so that we could find the vehicle. She thankfully called the truck driver directly to find out what was actually going on.

The truck driver confirmed that the vehicle was safely on his truck and that the truck broke down just after it left the factory . There was no way to switch out the load due to what broke in the truck so he had to just wait on parts to arrive. Hence, it was still in South Carolina one week after it “left” . Don't ask me why all the paperwork went through as if it was delivered that is a mystery I will never solve. The truck driver said his truck was being fixed that day (Monday) and he would do a straight drive starting Monday evening to get it to me the next day (Tuesday). Yayyyy!!!….then Hurricane Isaias made landfall that Monday night in the Carolinas!! I didn’t know if the vehicle was in the hurricane, ahead of the hurricane or behind it so needless to say I didn’t sleep well that Monday night. The next morning the hurricane had traveled up the coast and basically passed right over where I was staying so that was also an interesting experience to say the least

Day 3 of my hotel stay (Tuesday) and the vehicle still doesn’t arrive before COB as promised. I called for updates during the day but due to all the hurricane issues we could not get a hold of the driver for an ETA or to figure out if everything was OK. Pictures of an overturned semi with my car attached floated through my head . Now I am really concerned, and another night of wondering and speculation goes by .

Day 4, Wednesday, the hurricane had passed and the weather was perfectly beautiful. I finally got confirmation that the truck sheltered during the hurricane and the vehicle was fine and it was on its way for delivery finally. The awesome girl at the trucking company literally called me every hour to update me on the miles left for it to arrive. It finally did arrive that afternoon and I took delivery of it and just like the weather after the storm it has been beautiful so far.

The rear seat entertainment looks pretty awesome.

How is that B&W system compared to Burmester?

I don't think I have digital car key. I read somewhere if you did it would show up in the connected app under the vehicle tab but it doesn't in my case. To be honest there's a lot to go through and get familiar with and test out which I will start doing over the next few weeks.

I'll grab some more pics of the matte trim and post them for you.
As promised some more trim shots. Best part is NO FINGERPRINTS!!! :

Wow! Amazing X7. Beautiful interior and exterior. It does look big though (I thought the new X5 my parents bought recently was big lol), but I'm sure it moves pretty quick. I'm seeing more and more of these around; they must lease really well?
