Beautiful car! I have a very similar order except I went with Carbon Black. Thanks for adding the timeline of your order, specifically the title taking a day after delivery. I haven't seen that posted on this forum yet. My estimated delivery date is this Sat and my dealership is closed on Sunday's so it was helpful for me to determine if I will need to plan for delivery during the week now.

First time I've seen the new New York license plates out in the wild. So much better than the yellow ones!

Same, I resisted the current yellow ones as long as possible, and am going to jump on the new ones as soon as my g05 comes in a couple weeks.

Looks great, congrats! And thanks for the info on your timeline. I was curious how many days to expect from completion of production to arrival at the dealership, so looks like only 5 days for yours.

Nice to see you finally got your car. Very nice spec. I would have gotten my M50i around this time if i didn't cancel with Eugene and picked up the X5M. I got tired of waiting since March and decided i deserved the upgrade lol

Mine took 3 days from Awaiting Carrier Assignment to arriving at the dealership yesterday. I spoke to my CA and he confirmed it's there so it's not a status error. This was for a Chicago delivery btw.

Nice. I installed the rear IND painted reflectors on mine today and love them. I have the side reflectors but haven't had the courage to tackle the job yet! I'm afraid!

What everyone else has been saying is true. First side takes about 1-2 hours, and the second side takes about 15 minutes. There is one circular self-tapping screw that holds multiple components together that REALLY gets in the way of sliding the new reflector in. You can't remove it using a philip's or a flat screwdriver. I was fed up with it, so I just cut the entire thing off, and it became significantly easier as it opens up a lot of room. Learning from this on the first side, the second side took about 10-15 minutes.

The air suspension totally eats up all the cracks and bumps, even with the 22s! Not sure how it would feel with the M adaptive suspension though.....
