Need input

We are going to go from our 06 3.0 X5 to an 11 or 12.
Our 06 is a Sport Prem Rear comfort.
One of the things I like is the Sport Package seats (pull out thigh support)
I have been looking at the E70's and they seem to have changed to "packages"
(Thanks BMW for making this "easier" to figure out.....not)
So how do I determine what I need to look for to get the "seats I want?
My "qualifications"? are ....the seats, Back-up camera, rear window shades, 3.0 engine....and it seems that 90 % of the ones I see offered are Black (no) Silver Grey (no) or white (no) and for FL NO Black interior.
What were the available colors then?
Are they all SIRIUS compatible?
tnx Daniel

Just find a good VIN decoder and run the serial 3(last 7 signs of the VIN)of the cars you are looking at.It will tell you pretty much all options the car is equipped with.Pretty much all '11+ have backup camera and top view and read shades.
Your only choice left for [common] color is Spacegray.

"Multi-contour seats."

Seats -> sport package
Camera/navi (sirius is built in, may require $/coding to enable) -> tech package
Rear shades -> rear climate package

Good luck for the hunt.

I used BMW Baureihenarchiv · Mai 2014 · bmwarchiv.de for my search since the most ad's in 'Merica look like a 5 year old is selling. (drives great and cold AC)

Your requirements seem pretty easy what I see.
When I was looking, it took me forever so source the right one. Took me a while to find the right one but no option I required was missing in the end. We were lucky.

Exactly like we wanted the family hauler.
