Thanks!
1) the seats are excellent. We had full comfort nappa leather seats in our X5 but the iX seats are more comfortable. The leather is similar to Merino so it’s supremely soft. The lack of adjustable thigh support is also not an issue
2) I personally never fiddle with the headrests. They are a set and forget thing for me. No issues for me at all
3) there is a barely perceptible ticking noise coming from the front of the car that can only be heard when the car is stationary and in “drive ready state”. Overall though the fit and finish are beyond 7-series levels
4) the only thing I noticed related to charging indication. I plugged the car in at home last night and after locking it there was no indication at all that it was charging. I suspect this may be a bug since theres a status light next to the charger plugs and also the ambient lighting on the doors should be strobing as well
