What's that in the center of the lower front grill? The active cruise on my e90 is about one third that size. Is that the night vision?

Congrats on the ride, fabulous car - but at $100k custom order I'd have loved to see a midnight blue with ivory nappa interior - the Darth Vadar look is not making your car look $100k (anyone who gets one of these off the lot will have literally the option of shades of black and gray....and will be $40k less).
I'd personally have forgone some of the options and put it towards individual paint... ***'Scuse me whilst I put on my flame suit and jump into a deep pool of fire proof gel and await to be burned at the stake***

Nice G30. But it's really a shame that the car does not have the fully digital cluster. Any reason why that is? Was your M550i build too early?
Other than that, congrats on the car. But I agree, F10 looks much beefier from the back.

Looks real good!!!
It still bothers me that the "US" couldn't get full digital dash.

But then, regulatory approvals wouldn't explain why the 668M wheels were also not available in the US until 7/17 production, but were available in Canada... ;-) Last edited by daveschroeder; 06-20-2017 at 05:41 AM.. |

I think a lot of the other color combos look beautiful, but I'm partial to black. Agree that it isn't "unique", but it's unique to me — if cost for something that "looks similar" to a casual observer were the only concern, I could have easily gotten a base black 530. Or a black Honda City. ;-) |

This is the first time I have had upgraded seats, and I have to say they're comfortable. I have seen a lot of people say they're too soft, etc., compared to the sport seats; I don't find that to be the case. Not necessarily worth the money IMO, but very nice seats.

I think it is safe to say a lot of people will not play uncompressed or "lossless" formats through such a system, meaning most people will not be fully taking advantage of it (like I am not). But then my ears and brain are not discerning enough to appreciate the difference — it does definitely sound good even with satellite radio as the source. Though even I can tell the difference between satellite and lossless formats, of which I have some.

But then again, OP did add about $10k of extras on the car that isn't performance mods either. So, you can walk out with a $85k-ish M550 if you're careful. At $85k, you'll have to wait for 1 year to buy a preowned first year model G30 M5. If given the choice, I'd prefer to wait.

Thanks for all the audio comments. Sound quality is very important to me and I only keep lossless codecs. Nice to know FLAC files are supported in the M2. It gives me hope. The M550i seems like a bargain to me especially when considering M5 prices.
Nice ride! |

Wow, I did not like G30 until these pics. Looks very clean! I would probably go with white interior on this, but its your personal choice. Love the debadge as well, I would do the same 100%.
Waiting for the m5 to come out as I am missing my F10! Best of luck! |
