the dude! (lebowski ref - sorry )

i looked at that bmw online shot and thought, oh no, don't like that colour! the real-life colour is worlds away better, you'll like it for sure when you see it

actually, the IND kit arrived yesterday - see photos. BMW dealer is fitting it next friday.

1st impressions:

1. overall quality is excellent - run my fingers around all the grooves, and smooth as you like. no areas of paint missed, no clips missing.

2. wouldn't bother with the arctic grey between the kidneys again - its hardly noticeable (i could understand with white or a lighter colour so that a contrast is obvious) - its not really the money, its just with the dark colour its hardly noticeable - i'm a nerd, but not THAT much of a nerd!

3. packaging to receive was top notch - arrived in perfect condition

4. wouldn't bother with the roundels to be honest - again, its only the edges that are black, hardly noticeable for the $115 cost each (ouch)

... that said, in for a penny, in for a pound - i'll post up pics when the kit is fitted on 1st feb

all fitted now - looks great IMHO. great product from IND (if a tad pricey), BMW dealer now wants to copy my G05's look for his dealer demonstrator!

Looks great. Perfection is in the details at this level of vehicle and I can see the quality.

i've always been a fan of big wheels so when the dealer mentioned there are 22s i had to have them!! but, 21s are fine too (the largest wheels on the old F15 i think), and the designs are really smart.

i'm a tax accountant, so my friends are laughing at me for picking boring grey ... but i think it looks great so stuff them!!
There is a small child in yours. How did you not notice that at handover?😱😱😁😁

On a more serious note how long did it take from 5100 to 9800 in the U.K.?

Ordered mine based on your photos. Gets built next week @

ha, yes, my sons (aged 8 & 10) love going out in the car, as the tech is so cool (they love the voice control mainly - my 8 year old has changed my wife's name on my iPhone to Cristiano Ronaldo, so he can say "hello X5, phone Cristiano Ronaldo", and the car talks back to him "Ok, calling Cristiano Ronaldo" - hours of fun!!)

i'm not sure about the build stage numbers as i ordered mine in july 18 - it was delivered early-december, within 3 days of the original expected deliver date (last week of november)

hope you love the car - i really do. the engine is the star of the show, but the design, wheels, colour, tech, interior ... its a fantastic package

From where did you order the parts?

Hello,

I have a 40i on order scheduled to go into production as MY20, I am struggling to choose exterior colour between Artic Grey, Sapphire Black and Mineral White, as I want the black parts I want the exterior colour to match well.

May I ask from where you ordered the parts and the appx price?

Did you mount the parts yourself or did the dealer or workshop help you with that?

Thanks in advance and thanks for great pictures

Richard
