It seems most people prefer the extended. I personally love the chrome grill. I want to show it off!!!

My X7 did not come with the Extended Shadowline package. So I purchased the Shadowline grill, took it apart and my original grill, and installed the grill combo with black frame and brushed aluminum slats. IMHO, I think the black grill overall goes better with the M-Sport package and the chrome grill goes better with the Luxury Line trim. But it is nice (and surprising) that BMW gives you the Extended Shadowline option from the factory to cater to different tastes/styles, at least for the M-Sport package equipped X7's...

Not that bad. A plastic trim removal tool and some patience while prying the grill apart at the various tabs...

Our 2020 X7 M50i
Hi all - I’ve been literally been trying to post here for months but my iPad was never letting me log in. It took me needing to get on my Windows laptop for a different reason to finally try to log in from there. Apparently, the forum used doesn’t like login/password stuff from an iPad... or I just am too unfamiliar with iPads to know.
Anyway, here’s a shot of our X7 we picked up on 1/31. It’s Black Sapphire Metallic, full black leather, B&W, captain’s chairs, and everything else but the ambient air, rear entertainment, night vision, trailer hitch, space saver, and shadow line. I know it’s not the best shot but, it was crappy out that day. Now that it’s summer... More to come... John Last edited by bradythedog12; 06-18-2020 at 03:17 PM.. Reason: Flipped pic |

A couple cell phone pictures my wife took this past Saturday when we picked up our X7. One at the dealer and a couple in our driveway.
The Mineral white color looks very different under sunlight vs low/no light. Has a almost pearl effect to it under the sun. |

Forewarning - it's a pain in the arse to touch-up but not by too much.

Unfortunately there are a couple of defects in the paint, so some areas may need to get repainted. Dealer contacted BMWUSA, awaiting a decision from BMWUSA on what they want to do. |

The UK laws/regulations for tow hitches are different than those in the US. The result is two different hitch designs that are authorized for UK roads (and the rest of Europe) vs US roads.

Eh... First world problems I guess..... That said, US SUV manufactures, like GM and Ford, add a cover plate over over the tow hitch on their higher end SUV brands (Cadillac and Lincoln respectively) so I was a bit surprised BMW did not do something similar on the X7.

But the X7 hitch looks a lot more factory integrated then the GLS hitch. On the GLS it just sticks out from under the rear bumper. Looks like you had uhaul weld it on there after the fact. |

In the BMW they integrated it better. A cover or hidden could be the next step but I don't feel they did a bad job at all. With the shadowline it's even less noticeable. |
