The journey begins...
Took delivery yesterday and got ceramic coating done today. I’m migrating from a ‘16 M2 and really looking forward to this ride. Shout out to Active Automotive Detailing in Houston. The journey begins....

I've got the gray interior with Sakhir inserts. Love the contrast of black bits, Donnington exterior, Gray interior with the splash of Sakhir. Will get pics of that up soon.
$750 to do 2 step paint, windshield and rims (incl inside barrel) |

Definitely not bagged on by me. I had originally ordered white like my last M40i but then changed it to Donnington after seeing several photos. (my dealer in Italy didn't even have a sample to show me). Since then, I've seen many more photos as it appears to have been quite a popular color. I know I made the right choice. It's on its way across the Atlantic now due in Bremerhaven soon. Won't be long now!

Thanks for the front and rear reflector inserts for my US spec X3MC . Definitely don't need those in Europe!

Not sure why the first two pics are sideways, but here’s some interior pics. I was going for grey scale, sort of speak. The contrast of the black bits, carbon fiber trim, DGM paint, grey leather with the splash of SO is very aesthetically pleasing to me.
I *really* want to see about diamond black BBS FI-Rs if the figment can work. |

I agree with you that some of the SO interior pics to date look red, but that's deceiving. Only thing I can attribute to the deceiving look is many pics are in studios or in artificial light. The pics I took are all in good natural light. My logic is the 'real' color shows best in natural light. Hope this helps! |

Break-in service delays...
Not surprising, but took in the car for break-in services and oil filter isn't in stock anywhere in US. Break-in service will have to wait 1-2 weeks for the parts.
My SA said the part is low on stock, even in Germany. Not concerned, but curious if others are seeing the same thing? |

Checked again today and they're saying 0 stock in Canada (where I am) and also don't seem to see any in Germany they can special order based on what's on their screen. I've already reached the break in mileage too. |
