I think your M is really nice. I like what you've done with it; I even like the silly ass roundels. With the way they treated you I can only imagine how they treat their friends or, worse, their wives!
You're new here huh? Right. I'm guessing you're just the OP using a different username.

This must be one of the unhinged responses the OP was talking about!

Make sure not to ever check out the Fake Badges thread.

With that being said I am and have been an SQ7 girl and Audí just didn’t impress me last facelift and well BMW beat them to getting my business waiting for the 2024 release. I have only ever driven German and there isn’t very many options for 7 passenger luxury SAV/SUVs. Let me tell you I have never been a BMW person at all.
I always felt they were behind tech wise and with the whole orange lights and plain flat instrument clusters ect. Well this new facelift I couldn’t see past so I had to get to know her so I decided to well yeah take a test drive and I got the X7 M60i fully optioned out. It truly is an amazing machine.

So far I updated the roundels, ceramic coateded the paint including all windows with XPEL ceramic tint to protect the extended leather package for the dash and doors, I also branded the bowers. It does have the executive package, M performance package/ M professional package, bowers of course, driver assist package. Every option except the crystal headlights. I went with the matte wood and all black extended marino leather/Alcantara roof, I also went with the mineral metallic cream white option to me the more luxury white than the sport alpine white hence the non all black 23s. Anyway I wanted to share with the ones that would appreciate it. Oh sorry all over the place and for all the grammatical/punctuation errors I am sure you can all read but there is always one that can’t big lol. I hope you enjoy as much as I do! 💙🩵❤️

Looks great congrats! How does it compare to your SQ7?

Congrats on the purchase OP! Welcome to BMW, I suspect you won't leave except maybe for Porsche.

Your first two pictures definitely set me up to be surprised by the B&W decals. But we all have our stylistic choices so you do you. Controversy is good!

I agree totally that there has been no vitriol in this thread with maybe one exception:

Fantastic spec, beautiful ride. I too flip flopped back and forth from BMW, Audi (2001 S4 manual), then back to BMW (M6 and XB7). You can’t go wrong really with either brand. Enjoy!

I didn’t realize this group would be full of unhinged misogynistic hurt men with a tinged view on the world.
Who said the stickers for B&W had anything to do with you being a woman? Nice vehicle but absolutely a weird comment.

Hey we have a similar garage! 15 M6 for me though. I don't think I will ever get rid of that car.
