Very nice build. Black paint/black wheels with red calipers will look awesome.. I really wanted the B&W sound on mine but just couldn't justify the cost in the end - you'll have to let me know how it sounds :-)

Very quick build time too -- mine was ordered mid-Oct and just shipped out today, so yours is flying through.
I can't wait!

I actually had a carbon black / tartufo 2019 40i back in December 2018. Had it only for three months before it got bought back by BMWNA for a bunch of electrical issues with the BDC. Had the B&W in that one. It's PHENOMENAL. Felt like I was listening to my three year old's Fisher Price karaoke toy in my Audi Q7... Ok ok I'm exaggerating. But yeah... The b&w is great and one of the best I've heard.

Been in my q7 and bought my wife a 2020 GLE. Time for a new ride and boy do I miss the BMW. So.. Christmas present to myself.

Only thing I hesitated with was getting the air suspension vs dynamic handling vs standard m suspension. Michigan has horrendous roads and figured the 22" with air would be a good compromise. Had to order the Bentley spec pirrelli p zero all seasons from the local Bentley dealer since I don't want to mess with changing winter tires and TireRack on backorder.

Getting close!!
Can you pls help with the contact.. I need the Tires for my new build that's in production.. they come with summer tires and I live in WI🥶
Just call your local Bentley dealer and talk to the parts guy. They are expensive. Haha. But worth it. under no circumstances should anyone drive on summer tires in under 40 degree weather.
Thank you.. so they stock them ... I will try

They don't stock them but there is a reserve stock on TireRack just for Bentley dealers. Bentley dealers have a Bentley TireRack storefront that has different inventory than the public.

I didn't think of contacting the local Bentley to find the PZero A/S. How are they?

BMW is cranking out cars like the fortune cookie factory. I see a lot of custom orders from deposit to ETA that's under 3 months!!!
Just insane. Good job to BMW.

Thanks to Puraj I ordered from the same dealer, very easy to deal with and great transaction so far! Highly recommend!

Amazing build, Puraj! Best of luck with it and can't wait to see pics.
Thanks man! I told Eric not to touch the outside and leave all the plastic and foam on the outside… sounds kinda weird but I think I'll enjoy taking it off myself. haha.

also looks like I'll be decontaminating, polishing, and ceramic coating it in my garage. It's freaking freezing outside!
Did you order from BMW of Reading, PA?
