The glass controls, in my opinion, make the center stack look more in line for a car at this price point.

yeah honestly. nobody ever if rarely sits in the backseat. If these were front seat pillows that would be something to justify. What are we, a bunch of chauffeurs in china? who's using these in the back?

Women accessorize with purses. Men accessorize with headrest pillows. What's the confusion?

You know there is also independent climate controls, USB ports, heated seats, arm rest, privacy shades, glass roof, entertainment system and cup holders back there.. Now the M8 are back seats nobody uses.

FYI, you won’t need pillows on the front head rest of your new G05, they are awesome.

I just make my back seat riders sit in this

says nobody ever my wife, mom and 6 months old sits back there most of the time when i drive; this includes 7 long road trips.

Unlike some folks here on this forum that drives this vehicle as a sports car, imo, this is family vehicle. Everyone I know (who are not on this forum) purchased the X5 utilizes the backseats 90% of the time.

Back to the topic, I think my wife and mom would of loved these pillows on our last few road trips! Well worth the price if your able to afford them and/or actually utilize them, plus the look great!!

okay I know these luxuries exist. we have a F15 currently with a G05 on order. Both have all of that stuff you said but in my experience even when I have guests in the back, they are reluctant to turn any of these features on, much less play with the controls. I constantly have to remind them that yes, the seats in the back are heated as well, and then they ask where the controls are, cant find them, and give up etc.

I'm definitely not saying that we shouldnt have all this stuff... but the pillow thing I cant wrap my head around especially if you have small kids who are in carseats anyway.

This thread is about accessorizing, not practicality. It's unfortunate that it's hard to get the humour in one's head across a text thread without use of emojis :-).

[thereef510]

eh im just salty because they dont make pillows for the front seat. I will never sit in the backseat of my own car nor do I care about the comfort of my passengers, i'm not an uber driver. my issue is that after 3 years of owning the f15, I noticed a discoloration on the back of my front seat headrest. It came off very easily with lexol but i'm now forever paranoid about resting my head on it. So I want a front seat pillow, for which an oem option doesnt exist.

Are those the same as the ones in the X7?

Same ones for standard bench seating with 3rd row.

Captain's chairs on the X7 have a different attachment design due to the comfort headrest.

I searched for months to find these in all my oem BMW sources and they are impossible to find. It's one of those items like the travel trays that you just buy to take it up another level and the function and form is spot on.

Do you have a part number for those trays? Also do you know if they fit the iPad 11 inch pro?

I don’t have the number at hand but you can find it at the top sticky thread of “Full list of G05 X5 accessories with part numbers”. BMW makes several specific size tablet holders for the travel system. Not sure if the 11”Pro is on the list. My kids are using iPad Air 2.

Here is the master list:

Edit: Found the info I posted in the top sticky thread......

Travel & Comfort system table with drink holder
51 95 2 449 252

FYI For the new 2019 X5 G05 you don’t need additional headrest mounting accessory although it will work if you want to mount it there.

Yes, I want one that doesn't need the additional headrest mounting accessory as I plan on using the RSE port that I have on my G05.

Thanks for the info man!

This is the number on the box. I ordered them too. I ordered the ones with silver sides but got black ones like shown in the picture. We have two normal iPads and there is still space left so I think 11 inch should be a problem.

Ordered the black set, but the strap material is not alacantra type, only the front portion is. Part number is 52-20-9-476-469

Where did you get it from? Are you in USA? No one has it in USA - dealer I mean

[M40i4me]

Got mine as part of one of the packages with purchase of our X5 and still in the BMW goody bag. I may be tempted to put them on now.

Should have had a alcantara strap unless this item was also changed for 2021.

[codex57]

I'd consider it, but $350 gives me pause. Mainly it's cuz it's for my kids. Ok, mainly it's cuz my daughter is filthy and I worry she'll turn a $175 pillow nasty somehow. It's pricey, but not completely out of line. It is venturing into Porsche pricing though. Still, when you look at what they charge for those comfort access things that attach to the back seats, it's not out of line. The hook would be $5 on Amazon. With a BMW premium, maybe $20? It's like $43 for a tiny piece of plastic? At least the pillow is Alcantara. BMW charges $800 for the alcantara headliner, and that doesn't even include the giant shade part (MY 2021) so there's very little alcantara for your $800.
