M50i Ordered!
Update 11/16: Boom! See below
Update 11/13: At the Dealership! Update 11/11: Dispatched from Factory Update 11/7 PM: Awaiting Carrier Assignment Update 11/7 PM: Ready for Transport Update 11/7 PM: Final Assembly (apparently that Quality Check went quick!!) Update 11/7 PM: Quality Check Update 11/7 PM: Assembly in Progress Update 11/7 AM: Entering Assembly Line Update 11/7 AM: In the Paint Booth Update 11/7 AM: Exterior Body Assembly Begins (whew! long wait!!) Update 10/25: VIN assigned, status moved to “Production Begins” ! Well, another "i just ordered" thread for the forum, but I am ready to get this one in the garage! I had bought an x40i, then made the mistake the next day of driving a friend's new M550i. What a motor! Went back to my dealer the next day who was kind enough to take the car back with very little penalty and order me up this bad boy. I dithered over 21" vs 22", as I love the look of the 747M wheels, but decided that a little extra sidewall in New England will not be a bad thing, and I still get the staggered look. Can't wait!

Similar build to mine! You will love love love the DHP, well worth the money...unless you sit in boston traffic lol The Luggage compartment is a cool feature, just dont expect to be mind blown haha What are your plans for winter set up? I really wanted to do the 21's but didn't want to put on winters every year, it was a big hassle for me on the last car if you are still able to, I would add the spare tire its only like $150 but a piece of mind especially if you are driving around on 21's

For winter I ordered a set of winter wheels/tires from my dealer. Got the 740M 20" wheels with Michelin Alpin 5 tires. Great setup, fits the car well, and they had a buy3/get 1 deal so all in with taxes was $3200, which is only a couple bucks more than the same tires on generic 20" wheels from tire rack. I would not be taking tires on/off every winter spring--too much opportunity to damage something. Way more cost effective to just get the extra set, esp. over the long run. Can't wait to try the DHP! Never test drove anything with it, so I have high hopes. |
