I’m sure we’re not hearing the full story.

A buddy of mine inquired on it. They did say they would discount it but didn't say how much. We are in LA so he just blew it off. I have been browsing the X7 forums as I was about to order an X7 for my wife, but think we will wait until summer for the LCI.

Interesting. Your buddy got further with them, than I did with my own pre-order.

As for the LCI, that's not nailed down yet. According to the best info we have so far, LCI production starts 8/22, for MY2023.
https://g07.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=901686

We've seen the spy shots, which seems rather early for a MY2023, making us wonder if it's been moved up to MY2022, starting production this fall. But no confirmation, and my questions to the guru on that thread have gone unanswered.

The sales manager at my dealer is a friend of mine. He was told the X7 LCI goes into production in August. Pretty standard for BMW to launch the LCI in the 4th year of production.

Unfortunately, the way BMW is styling, they can only screw up the design. I never subscribe to the idea that “newer is always better” as most of that ideology is pushed by the industry to sell you a new car unnecessarily. BMW can’t offer the top end options for the cars they already produce now.

That would be nice indeed, if they do!

Resurrecting this thread, saw a Dark Shadow Edition both coming and going to appointments today (which was weird, but whatever). Looks way better in person than in pictures.

Ha. My local dealer seemed to have another buyer in mind. They stonewalled me on trying to determine the configuration and MSRP of my particular Dark Shadow model, raised the price twice on the same configuration, demanded $1,000 ABOVE MSRP, wouldn't counteroffer on my multiple offers I submitted, just flat out canceled my order, and then slow-rolled returning my deposit they had been sitting on for months.

I would have thought they'd have sold it immediately to their other preferred buyer, but it sat for a while. I think they ended up shipping it back to the lower 48 to another dealer, and it's sold by now. Sorry.

Sad but I came to XBimmers too late... My custom build X7 delivered Oct 2020 but back then my local dealer said no allocation no transfer available, so I had to give up not realizing many would be available! Any chance you could check with your local dealer where yours ended up at and if anyone still has it new or used?

Ah, sorry, but given the unprofessionalism of their sales department, I won't be dealing with them again. Their service has been good, though.

My neighbor just got the dark shadow. Honestly, I am not sure how I feel about the matte paint.
