There's a leather dashboard option that was $850 for 2020s. The first post of the thread said it wasn't available for the 40i for 2021, but it still shows in the ordering guide.

Trying to figure out if I get a 40i whether or not I can really order it.
Option 4M5 is available on MY21 X7 xDrive40i - $850 option.
My 2021 40i which was built last month has the $850 leather dash.

Has anybody heard anything about Rear Seat Entertainment availability potentially coming back. My dealer seems to believe that it is more of a "temporarily unavailable" vs never again.

While I don't have definitive word, I believe your dealer is correct. RSE is still available on Alpina, and BMW is including it on an M50i Dark Shadow model I have currently in production. So it hasn't gone away entirely.

I wouldn't be surprised if BMW is just having supply logistic problems on some items right now, and decided to temp pause them. This would include Ambient Air and Night Vision. But I would imagine of those, if any of them come back in full availability, the first one would be RSE.

For a car geared mostly towards families, I truly hope RSE comes back. We have it on our 2020, and my daughter loves it and we use it all the time, more than any other feature of the car. I hope it's back by the time our lease is up.

I'd have a car on order right now if I could order RSE (without paying up for dark shadows)...

With little kids it is invaluable to be able to control whether they stay awake or fall asleep in the car by turning on their favorite show

If night vision comes back Imma gonna be pissed. It's one of the options I really wanted as we do lots of road trips and driving well into the night. I doubt it's something I could retrofit later although maybe as it's probably just a camera and a software update.

Why not give them a couple iPads instead? Much cheaper too at $350 a pop

Although in theory yes, it just doesn't come close in reality. Between the integration to overall function, RSE is a much better solution...I understand it's a significant cost and not everyone wants to spend that much on it, so there are alternatives as you said with iPads.

Completely agree.

Ever tried to give a 2 or 3 year old an iPad and keep them focused on it? Ends up being more work crawling back there. Play a movie and it'll take 25 seconds before they click the wrong button and are screaming to get the movie back.... Control from the front is clutch

FWIW, there is a feature in iOS called Switch Control that allows remote control of one iOS device by another iOS device. The catch is, all devices must be on the same WiFi network. Which means, you would most likely need the in-car WiFi to use this feature or possibly if one device is "tethered" to the other. Definitely not as integrated a solution as RSE, but an alternate solution nonetheless.

I would love to know this as well. We have the RSE on our X5 and with an adapter we stream netflix and youtube on it for long rides.

We are looking to pick up a new X7 at the end of 2021 when my 750 is done, I hope it's back by then.

For MY21
Luxury = Black or Ivory depending on leather selection. For Merino leather interiors - Ivory Merino with ivory headliner and Black Merino with black headliner. I've seen Cognac and Black Vernasca leather interiors with ivory headliners.

M Sport = Anthracite Alcantara
