Vancouver drivers 🤦*♂️
Saw lots of expensive cars with summer tires on this past snow storm.

White on White - she's going to rarely be clean. I bought her to be a workhorse to cart family and activity gear. No "mods" yet other than racks, snow tires, PPF, and iPhone charger (kidding). It might look good to get rid of some of the cerium; however, I would like her to go faster.....so some kind of tune, flash, chip or whatever will most likely happen.

I have had her about two months and already loving her. Just like my 2013 S4, who (the car - no injuries) died tragically due to an uninsured running a stop sign, I plan on putting my foot to the floor every chance I get. She's fast, as you all know - roomy, and a good all-arounder. I imagine the AWD system is better than my Audi was and I am starting to trust it like I trusted that car.

Pictured in the back are Mt. Princeton, Mt. Antero and probably Mt. White getting a PM dusting of snow. Both Mt. Princeton and Mt. Antero are 14'ers. Taken from some property I have near Salida, CO. I am sure my neighbors (ranchers) think I am some kind of fancy-boy with the BMW. Oh well....a King Ranch is prolly more $ than this M40i.

I hope your cars can take you on lots of adventures! Please share your pics.

Grahamstine1,

LOVE the Salida area...lucky you. Thank you for the gorgeous photo. Enjoy your Alpine White beast!

GuyBetterSlowDown · 01-19-2020, 06:56 AM

WOW great picture Grahamstine1 ! I picked a good moment for my first foray into this thread, as that Colorado scenery looks familiar to me. Still hunting for an '18 CPO m40i myself.

WOT Bimmer · 01-19-2020, 09:03 AM

Nice side by side comparison of black vs cerium grills.

Thanks, @HollyM! The area is booming - lucky to have a slice of it.

Thanks, @[GuyBetterSlowDown]. Will be jealous of your '18 exhaust note. The 2020 leads me wanting more cracks, pops and burbles. Test drove a '19, which sold me, but bummed the '20 wasn't the same. #firstworldproblems

In what mode did you notice the most different between 2018 and 2020? I don't think my 2018 burbles enough in comfort.

Random delta sonic with a random set of all-season Conti DWS tires finally on for the Chicago winter.

I just so happen to park next to an older gen X3 and thought it would be cool to see how much they have changed over the years.

WOT Bimmer - not sure on the test drive of the '19 I drove. Prolly some variant of Sport, but can't recall. All I know is that the '20 is quieter. Seems to be a lot of talk on this forum about it. Perhaps a tune, DP, or exhaust in the future will cure this for the 20's. Doubt I will make any major mods at this point to correct.

You'll get the most burbles, pops, and crackles no matter the model year when you are in Sport or Sport+ modes. It's been commented many times over though that those with a 2020 MY have heard a reduced amount compared to the 2018 & 2019 MYs in those modes. I don't think comfort mode was ever designed to put out a lot of burbles, etc.

Yesterday was a mixed day of emotions... got rid of the M4 and picked up a new 2020 X3 M40. I was presently surprised by the amount of pickup, but I'm definitely ready to get a tune on this thing!

Picking up my M40 to replace my M3 next Friday. Similar spec to yours. Beautiful! (But I'm biased...)
