2022 saphire black is in

Vettethret · 09-06-2021, 08:42 AM

It was an eventful Friday night. Moved into my new construction home after sitting on lounge chairs in an apartment for 5 months, had a Camaro delivered from Miami at 4 p.m. which will be my Whipple/ZL1 project car (These things are harder to get than an X3M if you can believe that), and had the X3 delivered from Maryland at 8p.m., God is good!!!

I will be ordering Ben's Mid Pipe today, KW3's, having Vossen make 21/10 and 21x11.5's with Porsche spec Michelin 325's on back, and down pipes and Tuning when they become available. Coming out of a 2020 X4M Comp, I was running 22x11's with 315's, and there was more room, so I am going to push it with this set up. Probably run some negative camber to tuck them, we'll see how it goes. As another member mentioned, there is a substantial difference in low end torque compared to my 2020 (At least to me). Very happy with the car. This motor is fantastic, BMW did a great Job with these Comp cars, A+++

The same colour combo I’ve got on order. Looks fantastic, and would love to see more photos when you get time. Enjoy!

Thanks Gents. I will post some more pics after the Detail/Ceramic. BMW Black Sapphire is one of the cleanest blacks around. Coming from So. Cal, I have NEVER seen DAILY torrential downpours like Southwest FL offers, hence the white beater Camaro LT1. I'm sure the Whipple will be fun in the rain!

Thanks Man. I actually had the MSS on my X4M Comp and they were way too soft for my liking. I think I'm one of the few guys that loves the stock ride. Lowering too much yielded very little suspension travel as well. I think the KWs will fit my needs better.

Vettethret Congratulations & nice color. Is that you in the second photo... ?

bmwmdistrict · 09-07-2021, 07:24 AM

That's the best color combination in my opinion - even though I have Donington Grey I am usually a black car person myself. The black exterior with red interior is
