New 2017 X4 M40i Owner Soon

I ordered my X4 M40i about a week ago...here is the build...

Dark Graphite
Black Nevada
Brushed Aluminum
Cold Weather Package
Lighting Package
Technology Package
20" M Wheels
Apple CarPlay
Rear/Surround View Cam

They started building it on the 5th and it is due to be done on the 11th. How long does it normally take once it's done to get to the Northeast (CT)?

Looking forward to getting the car...and will post pictures once it's arrived.

I have some 19" M3 replica wheels coming and will be either going with Blizzak LM-32's or Nokian WRG3's for Winter.

Here are the winter wheels...

Just found out that the car finished production this weekend and should be at the dealer later this week or Monday. It was a very fast build! Now I am not sure if my winter wheel set will be here in time which is unfortunate.

Just drive carefully don't pick it up unless is dry outside (don't risk it in the snow)

Picked it up yesterday. Just had winter tires/wheels swapped today and Xpel installed. Having Optimum Gloss-Coat applied tomorrow. Here is a quick pic in the garage with the winter wheels...



Next project this weekend is installing the black kidney grills and "M" fender badges.

I agree...I prefer dark wheels so I am now considering powder-coating the 20's that came with the car before they go back on this spring.

Yup I plasti-dipped them in black first (3 coats) then did burnt copper over it (for summer/fall) but ended up keeping it, since after brake dust it looks matte black lol, once i wash the wheels back to dark burnt copper.

Going to leave the dip on for the winter and once spring comes, i'll use my warranty for refinishing the rims and re-doing the dip since its removable, i thought about powder coating but its my daily and no shops does same day turn around =\

Do you have pics of the 20's when they were black? It would be helpful to see them since I have only seen them in the stock finish.

eBay (from DSO in HK). They had them in 19" and 20" sets...I went with 19" since these were for my winter tires. Quality seems good but will know more after a season of winter use. They were slow to ship them but they eventually got here. They were sold as a staggered set (8.5" fronts and 9.5" rears) but are willing to do a square setup (all 8.5") as well. I wanted a square setup for winter.
