'19 Alpine White/ Cognac M40i

afshawnt · 12-07-2018, 05:53 PM

Just picked up. Ordered on 11/20 and it arrived at my dealer on 12/6. This is a blast to drive. Gave up my M2 and I'm really pleased so far.

Can't wait to get behind the wheel again.

That's the hawt shiz right there.... my first color combo choice if I could of had it my way...

Yobyot · 12-07-2018, 07:37 PM

300! The only color for an M40i. Makes that blacked out trim look so nice.

ContactPatch · 12-07-2018, 08:03 PM

Excellent color combination, the interior begs for you to jump in and drive, or just sit in inside and enjoy some cognac.

EJR2 · 12-08-2018, 11:34 AM

Congrats on the purchase. It’s a great car. After two months I still find myself just jumping in the car to go for rides. You will have a blast

afshawnt · 12-08-2018, 10:44 PM

Thanks everyone. I always order alpine white on my cars. I really wanted the cognac. It most reminded me of Caramel on the E39 M5 and E46 Natural Brown.

I wanted ventilated seats, but they aren't offered with Cognac. I had the same dilema with my F15 X5 and chose the ventilation and went with black leather. On this I just had to have that Cognac, even if it meant giving up seat ventilation.

Great choice...!!! I have ordered mineral white with cognac interior and looking at your photos i am getting more anxious to get mine too..!!!

psuibmw · 12-09-2018, 09:45 AM

Congrats

looks great

Great combo! Wish I'd have considered that cognac interior. The examples I've seen have been beaut.

jzmundy · 12-09-2018, 12:24 PM

Really considering replacing my F80 with an M40 in the next year or so, glad to hear you love it coming from an M2!

mrich1353 · 12-09-2018, 01:44 PM

I like it, but then again I may be a bit bias having the same combo

Had an F80 and sold it after 6 months to get into an M2. It had that overall better feel for my taste. Had the M2 for 1 year and decided I wanted something more practical that I would be able to take out with my family comfortably.

I have zero regrets or things I miss. I enjoyed a 6spd manual but don't necessarily miss it (it's just different).

If you are coming from an M car, without a doubt go for the M40i. I also skipped the adaptive suspension since coming from an M2 I wanted a ride that was always sporty and had no need for the adjustments.

I will say one thing I noticed. The seats are very supportive, and the bottoms feel even more narrow than my M3 and M2.

Appreciate the feedback! Sounds like you had many of the same feelings I'm currently having. Beautiful M40!

Congrats! I love the look of the white M40i!

With the non-ventilated seat, you get the proper sport seat with adjustable side bolster. You won't regret having the seat hugs you and keep you in place through the winding roads!

Envy of your M sport steering wheel. I'm one amongst many here that got screwed by BMW and got the regular wheel.

Congrats!
