Delivery Post

Hi all - recent participant in the forums, ever since I ordered my X7 in Feb. Was given a 10th week production date, production started 2/25, finished on 3/10, arrived at my dealer (NYC) 3/15 and took delivery today. Arctic Grey color looks better than I remembered, fully optioned except merino, leather dash, or M sport. Haven't played with everything yet, but figured I would share some pics.

Front tow hook cover was missing but the dealer is ordering a new one for me.

Traded a 2007 Lexus GS350 AWD. Big step.up, and first new car in 13 years.

On the bad news note, one of the first things I did was haul some stuff to my in laws. Unfortunaly, one of those items got a bit close to the third row armrests, putting a gash into the side and bottom of the third row armrests. 15 miles into ownership :-(.

Anyone have an idea on what sort of damage it will be to fix this? I have Vernasca leather, but not leather dash so I think the trim is in leatherette.

Geez, sorry, man. That is one thing about the X7 trunk. When the 3rd row is down, those armrests are still exposed. And I don't like how the 3rd row seatbelts are still on the sides too.

About a $150 part then add labour to change. You'll need to find the right color but plain black part number is listed below.

MystroX5 · 03-20-2021, 07:14 PM

Well congratulations and welcome. That is a heck of a step up and the more you own it, the more it’s gonna show how good the X7 is.

Congrats!!

Nice Ride! I have the same color in a 2020 X7.

Sorry to hear about your incident with the rear seat gash! That sucks! The first cut is always the deepest!

I, and many others, would be interested to know what version of iDrive you have on your new X7. Do you have Climate Control Rules for the Passenger? See below for instructions on how to check. You can read the discussion here. https://g07.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1808466.

Thanks; appreciate it. Not as bad as I thought. May just leave it; when we use the third row, it will be with kids so chances are something else will happen to it over the next few years anyway.

I'll take a look next time I'm at the car to confirm (apartment living - not immediate access to my car). But I am fairly certain I have 2020.11, as I did see the M Timer in the apps. It did not look like I had separate climate rules for passenger.

Congrats beautiful car! Sorry for you man, hope you get it fixed soon.

Also, quick favor, can you post a pic of the front satin trim on this post? I am trying to get proof for my dealer. By zooming in, you car does not seem to have the problem I have on mine.

Haha, I saw your post the other day, and it was one of the first things I checked - mine looks fine and fairly well aligned. Kind of nuts they are trying to pass that off as within tolerance, what is this Tesla :-)?

Sorry to any Tesla owners out there, had to do it...

That is exactly why I am trying to show proof to my dealer to get it fixed. Can you share a close up picture of the trim?

Norcalx7 · 03-21-2021, 09:47 AM

Congrats ! The car looks amazing!!!

rich5741 · 03-21-2021, 08:54 PM

@mitch57 I can confirm 2020.11 and no passenger side climate rules.
