After months of waiting, I was finally able to pick up my 2017 X4 M40i. So far, having a blast. Will give more details on first impressions once I've had some more time to test it out. Check out the pics:

Take-always
1) this thing can move - was able to let it loose on the Florida turnpike. The speed limit warning alert saved me from a speeding ticket, as I passed highway patrol shortly after decelerating. HP is good amount better than the 5 series I had (but less torque). I like the sounds of the car when I push it.
2) it likes to consume fuel - It's made me realize how great the gas mileage was on the 535d, but you take the good with the bad
3) the sports seats are great, new to me. Previous car had m package, but didn't have these seats
4) cargo space is better than i thought. Golf clubs fit in with no issue, surprisingly better than the 5 series trunk
5) I like to have my steering wheel and seat a bit lower than most- so it's taken some getting used to being higher up. Seats come down to where I want but steering wheel doesn't. This is probably just something I would notice.
6) wife loves the car -ya know. Happy wife...
7) visibility out of rear view non-issue, but I think the drivers assist package helps with that

Will share more later. Dealer is trying to give me the wheel and tire package for $760 for 5 years. Trying to decide if that's a good deal.

Thanks Duke, it was great to see your car before mine arrived, to see how good the color looks on the car. I like the rails too.

Cheers

BimmerNerdM40i $760 for 5yr is a steal!
does it include $0 deductible?

I paid $1500 for Wheel/Tire/Dent/Wear&Tire combo and $0 deductible

Welcome!

Welcome!
It was with 50 deductible. I ended up taking a pass. Dealer told me I had just a few hours to decide. After reading up, I decided to bear the risk and self insure. Florida doesn't have much elevation or extreme weather- hopefully I made the right call but can't say I haven't second guessed it!

Happy to be part of the m40i group, thanks!
