No, it's an MY19, that was in stock. Yes, it's a Sophisto Grey, I actually prefer the cerium grey and I like the digital dash in the MY19, so didn't really want to wait for an MY20 factory build.

Plus, my 440i needed servicing, tyres and brakes, would have been a bit of a waste to fork out for 8 weeks or so. A stock car delivered quickly just suited me better.

New to the BMW family...Just picked this '19 X3 M40i up for my wife. She was looking to lease a small premium SUV as her current lease is comming due. I end up using her vehicle quite a bit so it had to be practicle for her and fun for me.

I found a good deal on this '19 with 7000 miles on the odo. Only thing it's missing is the 21's, but the 19's should make for a good winter setup!

Leaving the dentist today after a cleaning...she looked so clean so had to take a photo. Had her whole front end protected in PPF, and then had Ceramic Pro 9H applied last weekend.

Retro fit or film or what? How'd you do it? I bet it looks tight at night.
They are Lamin-X tints - very easy to apply and looks great at night!

Yeah... NY state is getting tough with that law.
I got it done at a shop where they have this deal. I pay $20 more when getting tints applied... and when the time comes for inspection, I would go back to the shop, they remove front window tints, get inspected and they would apply brand new tints to front windows. That was PIA but now... I know a guy. =)

Have a relative who lives in CT? Get your car registered in CT. Downside is you pay property tax, and possibly luxury tax as well. Upside, no more issues with NY state tint laws or emissions regulations.

Yup. they do inspection as well. The guy owns tire empire, WC tint, WC wheel shop and car wash. You can go there get your tint taken off, pass your inspection, go back get your tint back on, get some sick aftermarket wheels with tires and get your car washed in 1 visit.
