We knew that new exterior colors and new full merino leathers were coming. White alcantara headliner? Sounds beautiful, but ohhhhhhhhh so hard to keep white clean in a car.
We'll have to find example pictures of those new exterior colors. We know what the purple Ametrine Metallic looks like. And curious what this "individual high gloss shadowline trim with extended features" will be. BMW Drive Recorder? Sure. Unless it's $2,000, I'll add it. |

Here's the Manhattan Metallic. A split-pea-soup green? Yuck. No thanks.
Article is from an old 2017 iPerformance X7 concept release. https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/b...017-news/#/1/3 Here's a Tanzanite blue. Looks nice. Wonder how it would compare side-by-side with the Phytonic blue that right now is an official color, but still not on the USA configurator: |

Notice that this announcement does contradict a bit a previous announcement from BMW about new trims, leathers, and colors coming in August 2019.
https://g07.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1591750 New announcement says new "BMW Individual Merino full leather trim in three different colours". The previous announcement included six "BMW Individual full fine-grain Merino leathers": - Ivory White/Dolomiti - Ivory White/Night Blue - Tartufo - Coffee - Amarone/Black - Black These are in addition to the "fine grain" leathers currently included or announced, without the "full" designation. Oh, and here's the X7 previously announced in "BMW Individual Pyrite Brown metallic*, BMW Individual Sunstone metallic*; BMW Individual Ametrine metallic*; BMW Individual Tanzanite Blue metallic*; BMW Individual Ruby Black metallic*; each with BMW Individual light-alloy wheels Y-spoke 758 I; * available from 08/19" |

Let's see how much of these features will be available in the U.S.
I would LOVE to see the integration of a camera-system. The extended shadow-line will probably include the exhaust surround and the kidneys and perhaps even the chrome bar between the rear lights. After all, there are already parts available but they are quite expensive. This package will make it much cheaper. |

"And the BMW X7 can likewise now be specified with BMW Individual high-gloss Shadow Line trim with extended features."
What is this? Shadow-line with a shadow line grill and exhaust tips from factory? |

Likely is that if we're going by the same option/description for the M340i - grille, mirror caps, window trim and exhaust all in gloss black on the G20.
