Vilner adds lots of leather to the BMW X7’s plastic surfaces

Vilner adds lots of leather to the BMW X7's plastic surfacesVilner has completed reupholstering of the interior and most of the cabin’s exposed plastic is gone.

Atanas Vilner is the boss of the eponymous tuner, which specializes in interior improvements. He is unhappy with the new BMW X7. The latest project of his company aims to fix the problem. This is the toughest plastic in any current BMW model and it’s placed in the most visible area. Here’s an example of the so-called “Extended Leather Package”. You will also notice the switches panels at the base of your seats. Your fingers will be more likely to touch them than the top of the dash. Vilner explained that his concerns about the new crossover were exacerbated by their contact with this hard surface.
Vilner’s solution was to cover most of the plastic with leather. This includes the base of the seats and the dashboard’s upper section, as well as the console in the second row. The company has added 21.53 sq. ft (2 meters) of leather to the back of the seats. The cabin also features a perforated X7 logo. Vilner’s hides are identical to the BMW Individual Merino Tartufo factory uses.

Vilner was not satisfied with the BMW Individual Alcantara Anthracite headliner that came on the company’s X7. The company instead used Tartufo colored leather to upholster A-, B, and C-pillars, as well as the upper sections of the rear cargo area and the headliner.

Vilner adds a bright blue accent to the seatbelts, despite the interior being tan and brown. A custom duffel bag was also created by the company in the same color as the car, and it is made from a combination of Tartufo leather and sapphire.

The exterior has been modified only in the simplest ways. Brown accents are added to the rings of the 21-inch wheels. The taillights have a wrap that displays the X7 logo.
