Nuevo X4 M40i Owner
Just picked up a 2017 factory CPO (driven by an exec for a few months while in the USA). Black on black w/ Tech/Lighting/Cold pkgs. United BMW in Atlanta gave me a very good price on this like new ride.
To my point. I've been running around in Bavarians since the early 80's - in 3s and 5s with straight sixes & sport seat/pkgs - no M cars - didn't have the cash then. Absolutely loved 'em. Picked up an F15 two years ago, and while I like the car a lot for long distance and luxury, it lacks road feel altogether among other things. Bummed out that BMW was turning in a new direction with many of its rides - soft steering, tons of tech & weight. But man do I dig this car. Firmer steering & suspension. Gorgeous (to me). Drives like a bat out of hell. Read/viewed all of the critical reviews - screw 'em. This F26 is a cool, great looking and fast ride. A keeper. Thank you BMW. Chef K

sorry for the typo on the series designation - it is indeed a F26.

The Ferric Grey accents up front looks really great on the darker colors like yours. Does't do much (anything, really) on my Glacier Silver cars. On the other hand, the dark insert on the rear bumper looks great on my grey cars, not so much on the darker ones.
Enjoy your ride - she IS beautiful.
