Pano Roof Sunshade Question

Anyone with a 2021 X5M, can you check the pano roof sunshade material and see if it's the same smooth Alcantara type material that is on the headliner inside the X5?
Or is it a rougher type material.
Some folks on another X5 board are reporting that even with the Alcantara headliner option on their non X5M's, the sunshade is of a different type material.
Thanks

I'm reading on the other forum that the 2021's don't have it on the sunroof cover. I'm hoping the X5M's still have it. But I seem to recall when I took a test ride in a 2021 X6M (no comp), and it didn't have it.

If true, there's a good chance I'll bail on getting the X5M.
It's just unacceptable on any vehicle at that price point.

Definitely not a make or break for me, it just doesn't make sense why it wouldn't.

Agree. Too busy driving the beast to notice. 😁

Since the 2020s have it, I'm assuming you can order that part. Shouldn't be too expensive...

2020 X5M came with it.
For the price that they charge and the fact that they think BMW is a luxury brand, it should certainly have it. I had a Grand Cherokee Summit and it had the Alcantara headliner, but the pano roof also wasn't made with alcantara.
But it also cost half the price of the X5M.

I imagine the entire headliner inside has to be removed to change the shade. Those things never come out or go back in easily.
