I thought that was only available on the M? I know that you can get the integral steering and the M-brakes on the luxury, but the Active Comfort drive with road preview should be M-Package only.. On my latest ordering guide, it says ZDH (Dynamic Handling Package) requires ZMP (M Sport Package)... |

Interesting - they must have changed that then.
On the OG dated 10/16/18, they required the M-Package (I attached the OG, you can see it on pages 4 and 6). I also tried the online-configurator a while back and it didn't let me. back then, the option was always listed but it switched from Luxury to M when it was selected but now, it works. I guess it's time for an updated OG... Last edited by 760Lifan; 04-24-2019 at 10:23 PM.. |

Another difference between configurator and OG is the optional Bowers&Wilkins on the Premium Package on the 40i.
According to the OG and PG, it is always a stand-alone option for the 40i at full price ($4,200), no matter if you opted for the Premium package which already included the upgraded H/K. Now, on the configurator, the B&W is only $3,400 with the Premium Package. This, however, is nowhere to be found on the OG or PG. |

Absolutely. The pricing and ordering guides are a sticky thread at the top of this X7 forum, and you'll see the most recent ones are from back in October. I've posted a request there for updated guides, but I don't know if BMW has put out new ones yet.
For that matter, I've been following closely the supposed release of the new colors, which were supposed to be available 1 Apr. We've had one member here on the forum actually take delivery of Phytonic Blue, but that color's still not on the US Configurator, even here almost a month later at the end of April. Only one additional color has shown up so far, and only for the 50i. Something screwy is going on. Quote:

We are looking into replacing our GL350 with X7 40i. It's going to be the family hauler and will be mostly driven by my wife. I am wondering what options and features do you guys recommend and feel are worth the money/upgrade? The ones that I am not really sure about are
- Dynamic Handling Package. I was thinking of getting only the Integral active steering instead of the whole package. - Driving Assistance Professional Package. Is Active Driving Assistant Pro any good? I don't really care about the "Extended Traffic Jam Assistant for limited access highways" - 20-way power Multi-contour seats instead of the standard 16-way power front sport seats. |

Driving assistance pro works well at all speeds. I did a 250 mile trip this weekend and let the car drive it self pretty much the whole way. From stop and go traffic to long stretches at 85 mph. That plus the massage seats made the trip very relaxing. I also recommend the M sport brakes. This is a heavy vehicle, so any additional help in stopping power is useful. But they do get very dusty so keep that in mind if brake dust bothers you. |

1. Exec pack
2. Capt chairs 3. 22 inch wheels Everything else is personal preference but these three, in my opinion, are necessary on a vehicle like the X7.

1. The Captains Chairs do not fold down flat for full cargo room usage if you think you may ever need it. 2. 22" wheels/tires look great, but are only summer tires. So if you live in a climate that sees any inclement weather below 40 deg F in the winter, you will need a second set of winter or all-season tires for safe driving in the winter.

Reason is you can connect whatever Amazon, Google, Roku stick to the HDMI port and watch the same stuff you would at home AND have control of what they're watching. If Apple ever made an AppleTV stick that would work too - you probably could as its only limitation is AC power. The X7 has its own wifi hotspot so even better. Kinda easier and more controlling than handing them their iPads even with Screen Time. You can disable/limit the RSEs functionality back there too. BUT, you can't order Rear Seat Entertainment (6FH) on the 2021 X7 anymore so that is why I can't add it to my order. This is presumably due to some major Covid-related supply chain constraint issues, yada yada. They also killed Night Vision. Such a bummer. But I am warming up to the idea that despite RSE not being available in 2021 the kids will be perfectly alright with their iPad Mini holders. Also, as the kids get older I'm guessing they'll definitely want to watch their own iPad in a few years. |

How is the vibration with the travel comfort set up? Can the kids in car seats still touch/use their iPads while strapped in? |

FULL rear cargo cover (3rd row seats down).
workable/visually appealing/non view obstructive dog guard between captains chairs. Protective covers for rear ent screens. Shallow extra tray insert for center arm rest storage box. Multiple as opposed to single rear CD Color options for outside floor light wash. |

I don't think a full rear canvas/vinyl cover that lays over the rear floor and forward to attach the backsides of the 2nd row is included anywhere. I did find one on amazon that is custom cut to fit the backs of captains chairs.

Here is one I would recommend....
The rear storage tray that goes under the floor behind the 3rd row. This comes standard if you get the space saver spare option. But if you don't have the space saver spare option, this tray will allow for additional storage organization in this area of the X7.
