It is, in fact, one of the colors listed for MY2020, although some colors, like Sunstone and Ruby Black, appear to have been DC'd and can't be ordered.

It looked like they were going to drop it but luckily they didn't. My SA told me it was an intro color for the X5 and would be an X7 exclusive color...I have to keep educating him.

It was actually pretty good from factory. There were a few swirls and water marks. I instructed the dealership to rinse it off only.

Not sure what Dan had to do, but you can see his work here http://dansgaragedetailing.com/gallery/

This is individual 22 inch style 746. Hadn't seen it in the flesh before ordering. So glad I did - best wheel for this car if you ask me. They've been ceramic coated so most dust rinses straight off.

Appreciate the info - I've not seen them in any of the ordering guides at all - how did you know they were even available as an individual style?

They do look great!

They are tinted, it's a medium smoky tint which is about 40-50% of the legal maximum, but highest UV rating. Looks darker in person.

Maybe privacy glass isn't STD for Au? It's STD for the US market, in the rear. That's cool, you've got a clean slate that you can work with.
