Looking good. What tires did they give you for those 740M 20" wheels?

I don't see it anywhere on the ordering guide so it must come out after April. The ordering guide shows all options through 4/19 for the record

Pretty expensive considering the OEM part is only ~$200

Edit: I think getting a proper paint job professionally would still be a better deal. There are some things I don't mind paying for, but this is pretty over priced just like their BMW roundels. I'm normally a fan if IND, just not what they charge for some items because they can.

Wow, that dark window tint is pretty sweet on the G05, particularly with white or black exterior.

I agree it is expensive, however for me it is about the time in researching a B-Shop to do it right and the down time with the car. When it arrives it takes 2 minutes to install.

It's not hard to find a good B shop to paint a part but yes you're paying for the simplicity there. I still don't like how they take advantage of the market by grossly overcharging for things. I'm sure the reflectors only cost $20 a piece (I can find out) so the margins are large no matter what. Yes I respect they're trying to make money, there's still a point where they are gouging people. I like IND for what they do, this simply doesn't bode well when it's clearly taking advantage of people.

Edit:

examples from my G01 X3 since I can't find the X5 part numbers:

Mirror caps P/Ns 51-16-8-496-624/625


$89.34 each (likely cheaper because they buy in bulk and this is consumer pricing not commerical)

IND black mirror caps set price: $339.95

So it's $178.68 + paint/labor maybe $80 but likely less since they are done in batches still yields a ~25% profit on the low end likely more. Again I'm fine with people charging a reasonable amount for quality items. Their margins are definitely higher given the above which is the price you pay for convienence.

I placed the deposit for this to take it off the market Nov 01.
I was going to make a new build but there was one with all the options I wanted already on the train heading to Vancouver so I got it just in time before it arrived at the dealership in Vancouver and redirected to Toronto just in time. I didn't want to wait any longer than I had to.
Picked up Dec 03. In Toronto.
