A set of wheels is a subtle makeover. A new grille, some tinted windows, and perhaps a few other bits and bobs fall into this category, too, but a completely reupholstered interior, regardless of the make and model of the car, is anything but subtle, especially one that can give you a minty breath just from looking at it.
However, Carlex Design claims this is a subtle tune for the BMW X7. The company recently took to its social media to release a few images of the Munich marque's flagship crossover's cockpit, which has received their special touch on most components.
The seats, center console, door cards, and lower parts of the dashboard were reupholstered in new leather with a minty finish. The vehicle has cushions attached to the headrests that feature the tuner's logo on them. We can also see some double stitching on various elements in the same hue, and the color also adorns the edging of the new floor mats.
The usual amount of carbon fiber trim is present, and we can see that this X7 also has aluminum pedals and footrest, some aluminum accents on the dashboard, what appear to be new entry sills and a custom signature on the right side of the dashboard and on the rear center armrest. The pillars and headliner appear to have been wrapped in Alcantara, though it probably came like this from the factory.
We can probably assume this BMW X7 doesn't feature anything special on the outside, given that Carlex Design hasn't released any images of it. In the social caption accompanying the pics, the tuner says it is a 2023 model, so we're looking at the facelifted iteration that broke cover a little over a year ago. It features updated styling on the outside, with the split light clusters being the biggest novelty, a new curved display running the iDrive 8 software, a new gearshift toggle, etc.
Available with seating for six or seven, the brand's flagship crossover, which goes against the likes of the Mercedes GLS, is available in three distinct versions in the United States. The 2024MY family comprises the base X7 xDrive40i, the X7 M60i, and the Alpina XB7. Pricing starts at $81,900, before destination and handling, for the most affordable version of the series. Choose the sportier model, and you will have to pay at least $108,700, excluding destination. The one that sits at the top of the series, which bears Alpina's signature, carries an MSRP of $149,400, setting itself apart with a punchy powertrain and exclusive touches inside and out.
So, does this minty makeover suit the design of the BMW X7? Comment below and let us know what you think of this project.
