Okay guys I am totally stoked! I have been an Audí owner since the age of 18 when I got my first love for German engineering with my B5 2001 1/2 Audi S4 stage ||.
With that being said I am and have been an SQ7 girl and Audí just didn’t impress me last facelift and well BMW beat them to getting my business waiting for the 2024 release. I have only ever driven German and there isn’t very many options for 7 passenger luxury SAV/SUVs. Let me tell you I have never been a BMW person at all.
I always felt they were behind tech wise and with the whole orange lights and plain flat instrument clusters ect. Well this new facelift I couldn’t see past so I had to get to know her so I decided to well yeah take a test drive and I got the X7 M60i fully optioned out. It truly is an amazing machine.

So far I updated the roundels, ceramic coateded the paint including all windows with XPEL ceramic tint to protect the extended leather package for the dash and doors, I also branded the bowers. It does have the executive package, M performance package/ M professional package, bowers of course, driver assist package. Every option except the crystal headlights. I went with the matte wood and all black extended marino leather/Alcantara roof, I also went with the mineral metallic cream white option to me the more luxury white than the sport alpine white hence the non all black 23s. Anyway I wanted to share with the ones that would appreciate it. Oh sorry all over the place and for all the grammatical/punctuation errors I am sure you can all read but there is always one that can’t big lol. I hope you enjoy as much as I do! 💙🩵❤️

Comical yet cynical of course I don’t false advertise. Would you like the Vin? 😉

[TahoeDust]

Are you sponsored by B&W?

Sorry, I missed the advertisement. It was very subtle.

Great car and specs! Unless B&W pays you, I don't get why someone would go out of their way to advertise B&W all around their car.

Plus the location of the sticker on the back window is where my dealer puts their "BMW of Norwood Courtesy Vehicle" stickers. On first glance I thought OP took a pic of a loaner.

Looks great. Like others.. i wonder why so much branding for B&W. Car still looks sharp. Enjoy your ride

Back in 2008, I test drove 2008 S4 and 2008 335i and some how felt BMW had an edge in drive feeling. Since then never looked at anything else in terms of brand. But I m sure you wont go wrong with either brand.

I am in my first BMW too (also an M60). It is a great machine. Enjoy it!

Finally a real comment from an equal human lol It really is! Congratulations to you as well!

I didn’t realize this group would be full of unhinged misogynistic hurt men with a tinged view on the world.

Has nothing to do with you being a woman, anyone would be questioned/ridiculed for putting the B&W signage on their vehicle. I assume you are in B&W sales, is that correct?

Congratulations on the new X7. Good luck, enjoy and be safe.

Well.... while I agree that people on here like to share their views with little concern for hurt feelings, I'm not sure it rises to the levels of being misogynistic. I suppose at times it does... but I haven't seen any misogynistic replies on this post. IMHO. In any case, you should have seen the comments for all of us posting about our LCI 2023s when the updated model first came out. Lots of hate on the new front end and on the infotainment system. Can't let other people's opinions get to you too much. This is the place to hear opinions, that is for sure.

I don't think you needed to pull that card right away. A few of the posters above and myself included were just confused about the B&W branding on all sides of the car. It is akin to some people slapping "M Performance" decals to their car, not a super popular mod on these forums. To be quite honest, probably 1 in 100 people will know what Bowers and Wilkins is, but if they do know they would probably think you sell B&W. Don't get me wrong, I have 802D4's in my home, I love B&W myself!

That being said, we can tell you're really excited about the X7, and you should be! Ultimately it's your car and you should make it the way that you want it to be however I do think it's helpful to be aware what others may think about the branding and its associations.

Regardless, welcome to the forum. There is a wealth of knowledge and community here, even though it may not have seemed like it at first.

Nothing anyone said was sexist or misogynistic. I hope that you don't go around thinking that everything negative that happens to you happens because you're a woman. In fact, nothing that anyone said was even that bad. You put your peculiar stylistic choice on display and people questioned it. That is all. Lighten up.

Beautiful car! Welcome to the brand. I’ve owned only BMWs for the past 15 years, and not because I’m loyal to the brand but they always made the best car for the best price.

Congratulations! You will love it. This forum is usually great but unfortunately there are a handful of trouble makers and sorry you needed to encounter it.

We’re here to help!

Very nice!!! Great pics.

The treatment you've received is not welcoming and not fostering any kind of affinity to other owners. Frankly, it's exactly the type of attitude that has kept me from buying any more BMWs than the one I have and getting involved in the scene. People like this make me want to just keep to myself.

I think your M is really nice. I like what you've done with it; I even like the silly ass roundels. With the way they treated you I can only imagine how they treat their friends or, worse, their wives!

You trying to stir things up certainly is not in the spirit of the forum. Other than by the OP, no comments were vitriolic.

You must not have read the comments prior to arriving at your nonsensical conclusion or you would have seen it.

"I didn’t realize this group would be full of unhinged misogynistic hurt men with a tinged view on the world."

I would ask you to highlight some vitriol but that would be a fools errand since nothing else posted in this thread would fit the description.

This is more "unhinged" than any other behavior in this thread.
