Found this and thought it was interesting 758i are more expensive than 755m

Tinbad · 09-01-2020, 07:46 PM

Recently joined the club with a 'plain white' M50. Wasn't my top choice exterior color but starting to grow on me... Just did full front PPF, kenzo ceramic coat and ceramic tint in front.

Shoutout to my favorite local detailer here in the Bay Area, can highly recommend them for amazing quality and reasonable pricing. DM me if interested.

Nothing plain about that rig. Congrats! I've got your car's alter ego

Thanks! Is that carbon black? Love the blueish accents and deep color!

Perhaps meaning it's a 40i versus M50i.

I agree, it's quite a handsome M Sport especially with the side steps

Complimentary mix of sport and luxury.

According to the official story M50 don't get side steps 😜
Hint hint

By the way first time I found someone actually calling it sidestep. Music to my ears.
Every time I say that people give me the 👀 saying you mean running board. / rockers.

Thanks guys. Still in the honeymoon phase. Plan to get it tinted over the weekend. Sorry for the super dumb question but can I mount non run flats on these wheels?

Also, where can I find the part number for the Tanzanite Blue II touch up paint?

r33_RGSport · 09-10-2020, 09:36 PM

Just lowered customer's and 15mm spacer all around.

Apology for the smoky picture. It is natural filter from the brush fire close by.

Hi, would you tell me if this sapphire black or carbon? Is beautiful and I can't make up my mind to choose between his two. Cheers

ComingInHot · 09-11-2020, 05:47 AM

MystroX5's X7 is black sapphire. It's obvious if you have owned both colors which it is. Carbon has a blue look and sapphire has a grey look to the black in sunlight.

Hey vin4393 - Sorry for not replying to your message. What was your question again? And I need to take a better picture with a cleaner car (Black Sapphire).

V8EBR · 09-15-2020, 10:55 AM

Hi from the UK.

I went with my wife to pick up her new X3 M40i at the weekend, to find that my X7 had also turned up. The dealer had put them both at the front for us to see - quite a nice surprise!

Pick up my car on Friday, which I'm now rather looking forward to!!

Geist X7 · 09-15-2020, 11:54 AM

Probably not the typical buyer as first vehicle purchase after getting my license in the 1980s. City living and all that colliding with the new reality of the present situation. Dealer said we weren't unique in this regard as a lot of demand by first-time buyers.

Bought right off the lot, which makes the "BMW Individual" badging sort of ironic. So I can't take any credit for what I think is a sweet look. Not sure if dealers got these under an allotment or someone else walked away.

Ametrin Metallic
Merino Extended Leather
Running Boards

Options that I now realize border on necessities:

Luxury Seating
Drivers Assistance
Parking Assistance
Cold Weather (will find out this winter).

Love the ride, seating position, and the quiet.

I really like the look of the Ivory White Extended Merino leather seats. What trim does it have?

Geist X7 · 09-15-2020, 02:36 PM

Thanks. Admittedly, if I were to order never would have considered the Ivory White with kids and all. But everyone knows not to eat in the car, etc. Now I think the standard darker leather shades make the interior look too dark.

Trim is Fineline high gloss brown wood.

And now with a pic of the BMW Individual door sill.

Post some pics of your dashboard and center consule. Do you have a bench seat or the captains seats?

Geist X7 · 09-15-2020, 05:09 PM

Hope these are helpful, and appreciate your interest. Captain's chairs and didn't realize how much I needed a leather dashboard. A lot of glare on the high gloss wood.

Wild Blue · 09-15-2020, 07:26 PM

Geist X7 awesome!

V8EBR Droooool... those look so sweet.

congrats to both of you!
