Sweet color

818M no questions. As many said, in person it looks much better. some angles looks all black/dark grey and some looks silver. 808M looks silver from any angle not a fan. just my opinion

bottom picture - as a self-confessed OCD car owner with a particular issue for having clean wheels, even in winter, a big part of the decision is the general ease of cleaning, so number of spokes / shapes etc is a major concern ... i went with these:

You still have 20 spokes on those wheels, same as the 818's.
Either one is a pita to clean.

call me an optimist ... but i see 10 main spokes plus the small flickout "V" at the end of each, so looks to me an easier clean than the others. and, the spokes themselves are thicker, and the gaps between them wider, so i think these are the easier to clean. there probably isn't much in it either way!

a friend of mine has a 458 ferrari, and these wheels:

... i'd like some of these, only 5 spokes, no intricate details, and shows off the drilled discs and painted calipers ... lovely.

818M suits Grigio Telesto more.

808M looks better to me but they are major pain to clean. I have a whole arsenal of tools used to clean those wheels because of all the intricate details and different size openings.

I like the traditional Comp wheels, #1. Off topic, how much addition is the Grigio paint. I don't see it on the online config. Thanks.

If I'm buying a X5M, especially Comp, that is the only wheel I'm going with also.

5:20) Might have been the frame rate, but they appeared to exhibit a skipping motion at speeds around 40mph. Obviously it was an optical illusion. I was just wondering if it's visible to the naked eye or just some poor lense trickery.

The color was $5k option; however, was able to attain a solid lease deal on this for 12k/36. I own my current M2 and feel the depreciation vs. ownership is always near the same.

Feel free to direct message any questions. Delivery is slated for mid-March, the individual color pushed back production.

When you say a solid lease deal, what are we talking about?
