Yeah, what's up with all these cars.com G02 X4's not having the #710 M Sport Steering Wheel. I saw the '19 G01 and G02 M40i order guides and it was finally listed

BTW, Tchgrif, does the individual Fiona Red leather interior include real leather for the dash and upper door panels, looks to be the same as my Sentac?

No M wheel, for me the only problem with that is how thin it is at the top, from the thumb indents on down its as thick as the M wheel but up above its thin. no car is perfect but this is close for me. they changed the way the blinkers work they are no longer the european version that returns to mid position even as the blinkers are on, they work like American cars now. I read that the germans are starting to phase out the european standard and just as I was finally accustomed to it. The fiona red and the Merino leather in general is the best leather I have ever owned, the dash is sensatec but I rarely touch the dash so that's perfectly fine. the lane keep assist literally steers the wheel back into the middle and you must use blinkers or fight the wheel. the old one just used the brakes to gently pull you back inline. the seat belts tightening on you as you pull away will take a week to get ok with. But the suspension is fantastic, it's not too firm even in sport plus though I only drove it a short way like that because I still believe in break-in. the brakes are marvel comic stuff, you feel like you're in animation. but the sound........is glorious, and coming from me who seriously considered a tesla for the quietness. it's a new learning process, give me a couple weeks it will feel second nature again.

Hello there, you confused me with three things ( maybe its too early for me to be reading this forum)
1- How do the blinkers work?

2- Are the brakes good or not?

3- What about the sound? is it quiet or rumbly?

the old car, my previous x4 you would when turning right move the blinker stalk down and it would click then let go and the stalk would return to the start position but the blinkers would engage and stay flashing until you completed your turn, the new x4 you push down to the click and it stays down until you complete your turn. the brakes are almost too good, you feel like your eyes are bulging out of your face. so yes VERY good. and it rumbles, or at least it does in sport or sport plus mode, which is the only way to drive.
