Really taken back by the looks, especially how it's enhanced by the M package. Only logged 20 miles, but already impressed by feel and performance. You really have no idea what speed you are going, 80 feels like 40, very impressive for a large SUV.
Here's some pics!

Congrats! I really like how the 21" M-sport wheels look on arctic gray. That will likely be the combo I go with on my order... unless BMW starts to offer all-season tire options on the 22" wheels, which I doubt will ever happen.

Congrats!

This is the first time I'm seeing QUALITY images of the 21" wheels on the X7 M-Package and I have to say they look great.

On some initial pictures, it appeared that they might be a bit too small for this vehicle but looking at your pics, they look just right.

Although I'm living in Florida, I still prefer all-seasons - especially in combination with slightly smaller wheels. The tires should last longer than the performance version, the ride should be even more comfortable than with the 22" (although I heard that even the 22" are very comfy), you get the flexibility of being able to drive through some bad weather/light snow when travelling and you can avoid the extra $$ for the optional 22".

Congrats! And agreed on this point in particular. 50 feels like going half that speed in another car. Amazing.

Very nice! I REALLY start liking the new X7. Initially, I was not so sure based on pictures but when I saw it in person at my local dealer, all doubts were gone.

@Fegelein looks great. Could you post more pics of the black interior, please, including 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rows? We haven't seen many black interiors yet (if any) and I haven't been able to find any in person yet.

Get your ass to Mars.

... and I'd prefer Sharon Stone as my wife any day over the alternative.

... or a three breasted lady in my X7 passenger seat.

Really like the trim. I've never been a fan of the glossy trims - I find it tends to accumulate dust and in particular smudges.
