My new Black Sapphire M50i

[IMG][/IMG]

About 2 weeks in. I've had 3 7 series and coming off a 2016 550i...and this just might be my favorite car ever. The tech and interior finishings are just fantastic. Engine is bad ass. So far all city driving and I'm in sport plus 90% of the time. The black rims are even better in person.

congrats. black rim on black must look mean and badass.
i personally can't choose a non-rft because i don't trust my wife w/ a flat tire. rft is safer that way, so black wheels are out of options for me.

does ventilation work for you? for me, it's not cold at all. i don't feel any air coming thru.

Yap, unless the OP subscribes to the Simpson Effort Rule*, another try is worthwhile. There doesn't seem to be anything between the IMG tags.

When you upload from your puter to the sites Attachment Manager and then click Upload, do you see that your pix actually uploaded as in these screenshots?

Also, make sure you pay attention to the accepted file types and sizes that are listed in the Attachment Manager window. If not, it will give you an error msg but its very tiny and easy to miss.

Oddly it cools better than my 550i but the heat didn't work as well. Given I'm jn S Fla I'm glad it's the cool air that works bwtter

Ditto, although it looks like he tried two times and may not realize the images never loaded.

Trying from mobile browser or iOS or Android app? It works quite well from the iOS app but the image gets compressed to a small size (at least it did for me)

does the 21in Y spoke look black? That’s the one I have and essentially looks black to me and for a second I got scared for a second that mine weren’t run flats (don’t have a spare)

Um...maybe this.

1. Take a picture of your car with your phone.
2. Mail it to yourself (downsize if possible). Either "Attach" or "Share" depending on your OS.
3. Open your email on your home computer.
4. Open the email to yourself and download your photo attachment onto your computer (Desktop will be fine for a location). Just right-click the attachment and select "Save As."
5. Go to this thread.
6. Post reply from Go Advanced.
7. At the top you'll see two rows of Menu icons; to the right of the smiley face, click the down arrow to the right of the paperclip icon.
8. In the top row of the popup window that will appear, click Choose File.
9. An Explorer popup will appear. Navigate to your Desktop and select the photo file and click Open.
10. Click the Upload button in the lower right corner of the top window.
11. The file should now be listed as a Current Attachment at the bottom of the popup. You can now close the popup window.
12. Go back to your Reply window.
13. Put the cursor in the location you want the photo.
14. Go up to the paperclip icon again and click the down arrow to the right. You'll see a popup titled Manage Attachments, with the photo file right below it. Click the file and it will insert it into the Reply window, with [ATTACH] brackets on either side of a number. That's your photo.
15. Click the Submit Reply button at the bottom of the grey window. You may need to scroll down.
16. Voilà.
