Still needs to get unpacked, detailed, some clear wrap on the wheel wells, ceramic coating, tinting, and a bit of other odds and ends and then my new baby can come home! Can't wait

Have you gone for vernasca seats? Comfort or sport? How are they? I went for sport vernasca in the end because I couldn't justify the price leap in the UK to get merino just keen to know whether I have made a mistake!

Probably but not worth spending £3300 for the privilege!

I've got Vernasca Sport seats. I haven't tested Merino but the Vernasca feels so smooth and premium compared to the Dakota in the F15. The sports seats have quite stiff bolsters, although you might appreciate that depending on your driving style.

If you really want to compare, you'll have to go to a dealership.

Vernasca sports seats.

I have the top leather in the M4 and they aren't quite as soft as that but it is very nice.

Feels to be quite hard wearing too which is good with the kids. And yes, we are talking $3k AUD here.

Finally!!

A big thanks to Bichoo, CdnBMW and wt335i for all the technical advice and a special mention to Bubbahead my financial advisor that saved me $3+k.

So 50 mins into an amazing ride and I had 4 warnings. They have since disappeared. I was expecting it. The software was not updated. I think it was on 2018.

So here is what I picked up:

Alpine White
Ivory White
M Sport
Excellence Package
22" Wheels
Luggage Compartment Pkg
Xpel PPF / Tint
Shadowline Exhaust Tips
GYEON Q2 Leather Shield
Sonax Paint Sealant

Black Wrapped Grill scheduled for Monday.

YES. I would stress the importance of wanting it updated.

I asked them and they missed doing it. I'll make an appointment in a week or so to see what else happens.

What % is the front tint? I think I got 25% last time and it might be too light.

I think they did 35% percent. Jennilyn was the one who arranged it with PPF guy. I think it's just right. We did the same to the M2. They did a phenomenal job on the PPF. It's so good you'd question if it's on the vehicle.

This thing is so comfortable. I'm sitting in the garage setting up the car while I'm getting a massage and listening to music. Perfect day (rain) to be doing this stuff.

I guess I should activate the aromatherapy scents and make it a spa day.
