She's FINALLY here!! My Carbon Black X4 M40i
So after a very long wait and having to order a second M40i because of a freak hail storm at the Spartanburg Plant my car has finally made it home! I picked it up last night so I only had a chance to take some quick pictures this morning before work. I'll definitely take some better shots along with some interior shots over the weekend. I didn't open her up too much last night but this car is an absolute beast!

Very sweet! Really good pics as well.
I keep loving the m40i in dark colors..CB was my 2nd choice and I debated awhile over it as always have been a fan of it. I like the multiple colors it can show, reminds me of Audi's Panther Black. In the end I choose DG simply as I thought it was the best at hiding the rear diffuser. Really like the 20" rims on the m40i and these pictures show them off well. Those staggered rears look mean lol. Excited to see the interior as well as I went with Saddle and am very nervous... |

Yeah we definitely have to get everyone in our area together and take some shots! Unfortunately I'm going to be away for the Captree Cruise. Keep me in the loop for any others!

Update: I know a couple of you asked for some interior shots of the Saddle Brown. The three I added were the best representations of Saddle Brown that I took.

The M40i steering does feel heavier (Which I love!) and is more reminiscent of the hydraulic steering in the older BWM's. You feel a little more body roll in the M40i because of it's size and height but it handles so well that you forget your in an SUV. Especially with the M40i coming with the Michelin Pilot Sports you're absolutely glued to the road.

Gorgeous car !!! Am thinking about the exact same combo to replace my 335i Xdrive this fall. Some questions if I may. How is the ride on those 20" wheels non RFT's ? Is it overly harsh ? I live in the city and the 19" RFT's on my 3 can be absolutely teeth shattering even on the smallest potholes.. Also since these are non RFT's, do they provide you with a spare or even a can of Fix-A-Flat or are you on your own should you blow a tire ? Thanks !

Interior room is a bit better than in a 3 series. My biggest gripe is just that the seat doesn't go low enough for my taste. Headroom is not an issue in the back seats. The angle and length of the rear bench may be a problem for tall adults on long trips but kids will be fine. The Nevada leather feels about the same as the Dakota leather to me. GG |

Coming from an X3 M-Sport and test-driving a 340 and 435GC before ordering my X4 M40i.. Made my decision easier, actually the X4 for me is roomier in the rear than 340 and lets not even mention the 435 GC i couldn't even get inside the rear door lol. But the X3 is def roomier in the rear seats as I can fit 4 adults but only 3 in the X4. M-Sport car w/ standard suspension is good M-Sport car w/ Dynamic Handling pkg or Damper Control suspension so much better M40i car (retuned suspension, engine, brakes, etc) Leaps ahead of previous
