Congrats. I would love to hear your impressions of the trim you selected. I'm undecided on it.

It looks great in pictures, but I really don't like the brushed aluminum or the checkered aluminum (not sure what it's called).

Holy crap mine was just delivered!

Wait a sec, that looks just like the car I ordered. Are you sure they didn't make a mistake?

BTW, enjoy. It looks sharp!

So of course no one at my dealer has gotten back to me confirming delivery. The tracking website shows it's at the dealer, the motor car shipping company shows it's been delivered (don't ask how I know that), but BMW "genius" still shows it as in transit. WTF BMW people....get your shit together. As Ron Burgundy once said: "I'm in a glass case of emotion".

For me it still shows production started but when I call the 800# it says will complete production Nov 2nd. A couple of days ago it said Nov 1st. Either way the site is off by almost a week for me!!

Dam should have order the 20". I was unsure since on the f15 the 19" sport looked weird. Here they look fine and have all-season. I ordered the 21's now I have to get winter tires....

De-badged in ~5 minutes with the help of fine fishing line and adhesive remover. Kind of a thing I do with all of my cars.

Well, went by yesterday to look at mine and have to say that I was disappointed with the Arctic Grey. It looks a little battleship grey and not dark enough. I decided to hold off and I'll probably order another with CBM. That's the color I have now and love it. Now the interior with the Tartufo Extended Leather is SWEET! I would definitely recommend this interior. The Fineline wood really turned out perfect. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out because the pictures were so bad online. It complements the leather.

I do have to say that the false exhaust tips are a total bummer. They need to address this. You walk behind the car and you can see the actual exhaust inside of the false tips and it just looks stupid. Not sure how you could even mod without replacing the entire rear bumper with whatever new "M" bumper and exhaust that they eventually put out there in 2020.

The 21" rims are sweet and with the M Brakes, it really pops!!

I'm jealous of everyone that took delivery today, but I'll get mine figured out soon!!!! Enjoy!

Mine was an M Sport.

As with most things, color is a personal preference. I would definitely go look at one up close before you order. It may just be my taste! 😀

I've seen the artic Grey in person, granted under showroom lights, and thought it was perfect. Maybe a shade lighter than what I would call graphite. In my opinion, if it were any darker it would look too much like black. I personally really like it and think the blue accents of the M sport breaks and Lazer lights really add a great touch. I've been leaning heavy towards the mineral white metallic but after seeing the artic Grey I'm not so sure anymore.

I've seen Arctic Gray in person - it's a fantastic gray in my opinion and it shifts subtly in different lighting conditions. I was surprised how much better it looked in person than on the website and in pictures. Not battleship gray at all - but as has been mentioned, it's what YOU see, not others.
