I have this same configuration & wheels on my 40i. Love the look of the aggressive 22's and wide tires even though it's not a v8!

Yours looks same as mine. Just trying to get my point across that the cognac is not orange and your pic proves it as well.

I'll get more pics tomorrow. The brown metallic ash is stunning in person. Pics do not pic up the metallic maybe in the correct lighting with sunlight tomorrow I can help show that off.

No problem! It's an odd color to describe which is why I think most people just say it's orange.

Did you buy from BMW of Grapevine? Was it sold for MSRP?

Yep bmw of grapevine. 3% off msrp. That Sewell dealership is absolutely over the top. You get your own personal reveal room where you press a button and the wall slides open to reveal the car. Fantastic dealer experience. I did not feel worthy of that kind of treatment.

Interesting, they told me all of their 50i's were being sold at MSRP which is why I didn't purchase one through them. Historically, Sewell has been great in my experience so that's not surprising.

I'm just gonna leave this here. Alaska stretches as wide as the rest of the lower 48 United States. And almost as tall north and south as well.

You all may have heard of the massive earthquake a few hours ago just outside of Anchorage, Alaska. Prayers appreciated.

So that this doesn't get too far off track, one BMW dealership in Anchorage. No word yet if any damage to the fleet of Bimmers there.

Lol... I know, Wild Blue, I was just throwing out some hyperbole we West Virginians bandy about knowing it really isn’t true...

Yeah, I'm currently working overseas, but friends checked my house and say my Bimmer looks ok in the garage. Other stuff broken, but could be worse. Thanks!

I'd trade away the looks for the way this thing drives if I had to choose. Glad we get both!
