Kids and dogs in my X5: yes, it is the type of vehicle you want for this. Very safe (for you and your family), excellent ride, still you don't feel like you want to die like you would in an active tourer type of minivan. You will usually find mine with trunk interior Black with Golden Retriever White (very exclusive), interior scent: "Last Night's McDonald's".

It all cleans up, enjoy your BMW to the fullest!

Hi Xindicate, I see you're in Munich. Do you like ice cream? My friend opened an ice cream shop and makes his own from all natural ingredients, its some of the best I have ever had. If you go, tell him, Peter, or is wife, Steph, Marty from NY sent you.

Thanks for the hint, I will probably take you up on it! I go past that street very often but never knew about this place...

Lol! True, it would be unique.
No joke - we are also planning to get a Golden Retriever in the next few weeks. Might be copying your trunk interior

Copy this: here's the guy in the old F15 from last year, I now realize it had quite a lot more room than my current G31.

And yes, as I was cleaning out the goddam dog hair before the lease return I was contemplating putting a flame thrower to the car would be the easier way out. Anyways, returned with 0 damages/issues so I have to claim a win on that one. Dog photo with the G05 to come once the M50i is delivered!

Graphite is not available for the MSport package.

Auricom · 09-03-2019, 01:58 PM

Graphite is significantly darker - looks Arctic despite the creative filter

But yus, as Dan mentioned that graphite is only available on xLine

Black. I'm not a fan of white with black rims.

BMWBear · 09-04-2019, 08:08 AM

White if Alpine. I’d never own a black car.

I didnt wrap them. I wanted to try Rustoelum plastic peel in matte on the trims. Looks good and didnt cost me but $25 for 4 cans of spray paint

A good day with cosmetic mods

Kolegata · 09-05-2019, 11:48 PM

Nice, this is paradigm?

rfSL · 09-06-2019, 03:37 AM

The 40i I have ordered has the sports seats in Vernasca ivory white - I understand the comfort seats/multi contour seats have more electric controls and the headrest cushion can be manually folded.

Apart from this is the structure of the seat the same and is the cushioning similar when you sit (there were no sports seats for me to test)?

Any input is much appreciated!

Since your question has nothing to do with the topic of this thread at all, would you please start your own thread. For everyone else, please don't respond further so as to limit the noise in this thread.
