Beautiful combination, congratulations! If you don't mind sharing, what did you pay for the powder coating and how look did they have your X7 to complete the work? I was quoted $600 and one week. Thanks

Agreed no clue why they didn't which is why we ended up powder coating our factory wheels as well. Yours looks great especially with the contrast with the white.

I paid $800 and it took three days. They first told me $600-700 but the sales guys came back later with $800. I think he added on a commission for himself.😄
They also said I get a lifetime warranty on them. If they ever get anything done to them, just bring it back and they will fix it.

Out of curiosity, did you get the powder coating rolled into your loan/lease or did you pay out of pocket on the side?

Looks sweet. Is that gloss or satin? Seems somewhere in the middle in those pics. Debating how glossy to go with mine

It's glossy but it's not as glossy as I was expecting. Don't know how to explain that one... It is definitely not a satin finish. I'll try to take some closer pics when we get home and share.

Picked up my M50i on Tuesday morning that I ordered. Carbon Black with extended shadow line. Absolutely in love with this car after driving it 500+ miles.

Thanks! I'm having a blast driving it back to CO. Trip up to the mountains next week. It should be a lot of fun. I love all the X7's I drove the last few months ... most of them 40i's. The M50i is unique. Cruising on I-70 ... perfect, civilized ride (very little noise), and then with a simple tap of the accelerator, the thing turns into a beast. Everything and everyone is quickly a distant smudge in the rearview mirror. I giggle every time.

Never really had white vehicles but for some reason we have two now! So much easier to keep clean that's for sure!

I'm a HUGE fan of white cars. In fact, we just bought our kids new SUVs and they are all white including my RR Velar and BMW X7... The only hold out was our son, and he got the Storm Bay Metallic BMW X1.

That's what I was thinking! My dad bought me a Golf GTI back in the day and I thought I was a lucky fellow.

I'd love to hear your view of the X7 compared to the Range Rover.
The 2020bmw x7 xdrive50i is the wife's and the 2019 Range Rover sport autobiography is mine. Sticker price on both are almost identical but obviously the x7 is larger. Quality of interior leather and build are both fantastic but the infotainment on the x7 is so much better. The range infotainment is glitchy and for a vehicle that price is unacceptable but I use CarPlay so I can deal with it for the most part. They both have smooth rides and both can kick it in high gear when you punch it. Doesn't make me miss my car when I'm driving the "family" car. I wish the Range Rover sport was just a tad bigger... Would have went with the full size range if it wasn't so damn expensive. Here's a side pic of the range

I would've loved a GTI. I got a hand me down rusted out Buick Skylark from my dad. It had about 90hp and could probably reach 60mph if it got a tow from that GTI.
