Do you guys know if theres an option to have the seats with the middle part back rest to move independently from the whole backrest of the seat?
I'm currently waiting for my X6 with confort seats with Merino leather and the importer tells me thats not available in my country, and on the configurator USA it only shows the straight backrest seats in the 3D view. I've seen so many videos don't know if its only outside the USA with the split backrest option. Any USA X6 have this?
Thanks

The option where you can bend the upper half of the seat back independent from the lower part is the comfort seats option, and

US cars definitely have this - I have seen it in numerous photos by from US forum members.

We took delivery from the Performance Center last week amidst a rainstorm, but still had a ton of fun! This beauty was the only X6 being delivered and was in the primary delivery showroom!

When we toured the factory, it was shocking just how many white or black SAVs were being made. Hardly any other colors. While that’s a shame, our garage looks great with two beautiful blue Bavarian babes!

Both, comfort seats as well as M multi-function seats have the split back option. I have the M multifunction ones and couldn't be happier woth them.

Finally, she is here! Picked her up on Friday the 13th from BMW of Freeport in Long Island, NY. Lots of attention on streets. The rear of this car is my favorite. Black sapphire

These wheels are very nice too bad they come only with summer tires!

I also covered over the small slivers that are on the active shutters in black so only the slats of the grille stand out.

Bonus - The glowing function still works as that is built into the slats and not connected to the surround. I may have the first gloss black surround Iconic glow.

Hey there, can you talk me through this a bit more. I have riverside blue on order with the 742M black alloys and the silver iconic grille. I thought that silver would 'pop' more than black, but I have also seen it said that you cant get the shadowline iconic grill (I have never understood why?!). I also have blacked out windows (Im in Aus so the shading is quite dark), and I didnt want to go for overkill and look like a drug dealer (lol).

Anyway, keen to understand your process and where you got the parts. I'd private message you, but i cant work out how to do that on this forum!

I couldn't find a part number for the gloss black X6 grille anywhere, so I just told the dealer what I wanted and he found it on the system.

I simply bought the 'standard' X6 grille in black, and when I examined it up close, it became fairly obvious how to detach the surrounds from the slats. There are are a number of clips around the edge of the grille that you will see when you flip it over and look at the back of it, by just popping those with a small screwdriver, the surround comes right off the slats. The slats are all one solid unit, and the surround is one piece. So once separated you just end up with 2 pieces.

Removing the iconic grille is just like any other, with the addition of 2 electrical connectors for the illumination - you can only see those once you have pulled the grille off the car.

I separated the surround and the slats on both my black grille, and my iconic glow grille. Then I put the slats from the iconic into the black surrounds (just clips back in).

The lights and wiring connectors for the illumination are in the slats, so by putting the black surround on my iconic slats, the illumination works exactly as it is supposed to.

Honestly, once you have the grille in your hands, you will see exactly what I mean and its a very simple process.

Thanks so much for this - super helpful.

With the iconic grille in black, does it have the same overall effect? I couldnt work out if some of the impact from the illumination the from the silver grille occured because of the reflection from the silver colour or not?

I think it does personally (remember,the slats are still silver, only the surround is black):

[Shortyshorty]

WOW, that looks fantastic. Have you tried changing all the slats and seeing what it looks? can you share a daytime picture too pls?

I actually have since switched the slats to all black

It means I have lost the glowing feature but I'm okay with that. I Just fancied a change.

[Shortyshorty]

Wow. Both look absolutely fantastic, although I think I prefer the full black on your set up.
My dealer tells me that if I want it black, they will remove it and spray / colour it locally and refit it which will be interesting to see. Have to say, I hated the iconic grill feature when I first saw it, but it looks fantastic the more I see it.

Would love to see someone with a fully illuminated black grill.

Does your grille illuminate?
