One hell of a desirable spec

Congratulations! Great specc'd car! Looks amazing!

AlterZgo · 11-17-2020, 11:13 AM

Awesome story! It was meant to be. Just curious - does yours rev match in sport plus?

theserbatron · 11-17-2020, 12:16 PM

Awesome car, better story! Enjoy the miles

F80DK · 11-17-2020, 01:38 PM

Looong story, but so interesting and as someone els wrote very well written! I sat in the cloth interior - which I believe is standard at least here in Europe: its not warm, its not cold and it really looks good and keeps you in place as much as alcantara. I ended up with the full black Merino: it keeps you so much better in place than the Dakota leather, which I have in my company 530D (powered up from 258 hp to 333 hp).

Thx for sharing - and please give that SY hummingbird a proper downshift for me. Welcome - and cheers from Denmark!

Love the story!!!!!!!! I am sure you would enjoy the car!

Great story, looks like the capricious BMW gods were at first cruel, then relented. Enjoy in good health!

triple_m · 11-18-2020, 10:50 PM

Thanks for the love, y'all! Still can't believe how it turned out.

About the fighter jet pic, Lady Jane got it! The jet's on display on a pedestal; shopping the visible portion of it out created an effect too cool to resist. Here's a behind-the-scenes shot.

They're the OEM taillights! MY20 (4-series and M4) got the factory-tinted tails from the CS, along with a red start button.

The non-comp wheels are actually a no-cost delete option for the comp! (but you can only pick the black nineteens in that case, not the bright ones)

Yes, it does. I think both the 2015 and 2016 I test drove both didn't, however, so it must have been a running change.

Yup, and all the cars I've ever seen BMW use at the performance schools (here and abroad) use the 19s.
