Your best bet is getting a broker. Texas is a notorious crappy market to get a lease. There are a lot of brokers on here that work Texas and can help you out. That DAS for both deals are a killer.
I’d bet it’s going to be very difficult to get anything approaching a good deal on an X7 in Texas. It’s still fairly new, inventory is low and still lots of buyers out there buying anything with 4 wheels and a badge. I don’t know what the current norm is for a good dealer discount but targeting ex-loaners/demos is your best bet to leverage discount. Next you’re going to want sales tax credits, they’ll save you ~$3.5k alone on this sort of sales price.
Brokers probably won’t help unless the vehicle is from a Texas dealership due to the sales tax and delivery costs.
If you want to save a few hundred a month get an XC90, a little smaller and less punch but the pricing is infinitely better right now.
We have some cars at our Texas dealerships and can discuss pricing with OP, but we also have a lot of customers shipping cars from the northeast for various reasons, and we’re getting them good deals from there. There are plenty of times the discount has far exceeded the cost of shipping, let alone better inventory selections/levels outside of Texas.

Hmmm, I doubt the extra discount currently available out of state (plus delivery) is more than sales tax credits given the current market (obviously the market is fluid and sales tax credits aren’t always available). For fussy customers though out of state might be the only option due to inventory.
Also isn’t @Electric your same account? So one of your accounts (@IAC) tries to correct what I said and then your other account (@Electric) backs up what I said. I get there’s some nuance to it but what’s the point in trying to correct me when an hour later you agree with me?
Saw a black loaner/demo on BMW Arlington website today. If you’re in that part of Texas. Price had already been reduced to account for status, but could possibly get more. As usual, shoot for base MF and all possible incentives, on top an additional discount and tax credits (if available). Best of luck in your search! Planning to pick up an X7 for my wife in late 2021, so def would love to see more Texas data points!
