Ohhhhhhhhhhb this is so good! Awesome! Love the colors and the wheels. Well done!

What mods have you done to the suspension? Looks lowered and the stance suggests spacers. Right?

I haven't done anything to the suspension yet. This is OEM air suspension set at loading height. It won't let me drive at this height but I have purchased lowering links from RG Sport that I plan to install sometime soon.

Custom wheels with relatively aggressive offset. Would be the same as installing 24.7mm front spacers and 30.1mm rear spacers to the OEM 22" wheels.

Oh, my God..looks great!

Love the blue!

Loving the spec but I feel like the tires need to be lower profile. Too “doughnut like” for my personal preference. Otherwise wheels look good!!

I agree with you about the tires from a looks perspective. The Michelin PS4S seems to have a more rounded sidewall unfortunately.

But it was a conscious decision to go as beefy as possible for ride comfort. I’m getting too old for low profile.

Looks great! Just need the charger installed!

Stunning! Quite the car.

[Llarry]

Wow!

[snareman]

Looks great! How do you find the color to keep clean?

Haha absolutely. I have the electrician coming out next week to install a ChargePoint Level 2 fast charger.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but after experiencing the 50e and what it's like to drive in hybrid/electric mode, I'm never going back to pure ICE again. I used to be one of those people who said I'd never buy an electric.

I'm having it installed between the two garage doors so that it will be able to reach both parking spots.

I would say on a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being the worst to keep clean and 10 the best, it's a 6.

This could have to do with this being my first SUV but the rear gets so ridiculously dirty all the time. That might be the nature of SUVs though, not sure.

The bottom of the sides get pretty dirty as well, but the rest of the vehicle stays pretty clean.

This color still looks good when dirty, some colors seem to get very dull.

Oh my This is gorgeous! SMB is probably one of my fave BMW colors! Add the ivory merino interior along with the wheels and it looks ultra luxurious Did you get the alcantara headliner too?

Great job!

Thank you and yes on the Alcantara headliner. I ticked every box except messaging seats.
