Here it is! Ametrin M50i

I finally picked up my new M50i on Thursday in Ametrin. Had original order for Tanzanite, but needed car sooner and there was one fully loaded Ametrin in stock in my region. So far car is overwhelming and far exceeds my expectations! I put 22" Blizaks on original wheels and got a set of 22" Savinis to put on once we are clear of snow up hear in Canada.

Car came with every possible option. Ametrin, full ivory leather, shadow line, 6 seat, RSE, BW audio, DHP, night vision, display key, etc. Will take me a while to get everything done, but here are some pics from pick-up day:

Right before I put in my order, I had seriously considered Ametrin, but didn't get a chance to see it in person, so I went in another direction. It looks really nice in the pictures you shared. Congrats! I can't wait to get mine in a couple of weeks.

Thanks, yes, I would've never ordered it, but seeing that car in person changed my mind. Probably would still prefer Tanzanite, but I already have M6 in San Marion blue. This way all my bimmers are different color

Dare you to wear a deep purple colored suit while driving it. Haha. I didn't really care for that color, but man that thing looks special. Maybe it's all the black trim. Congrats! Definitely unique and probably not a lot of that particular combo out there. The ivory really makes the interior pop.

Exactly! Very well done Paultattoo. I just got my front wrapped in film and interior protected with ceramic. Going to pick her up now.

Will post more photos once my black Savini wheels are on. I think that will definitely make this car stand out

Looks like you're not too far away from me. MotorWerks and Patrick are the closest dealers from me but I bought from Karl Knauz.

I have had good luck with Motorwerks. I mean, I know it's their job to be nice but... They go overboard nice.

Beauty! Having seen the Ametrin in person, it's nice, but not what I would personally choose.

I agree--are you sure you have a display key? Ametrin is a 2020 color, but Display Keys went away this year.

Night vision was a total waste of money. I liked it in my Q7 because it appeared in the speedo screen. On my X7 it replaces whatever you have on the nav screen. So when it's on you need to look away from the road to see it. You lose all the nav screen information. Plus it looks like an afterthought because the view doesn't even fill the screen.

My friend made the same comment. Sounds like a sub par experience.

I haven't had a chance to use it yet out of the city. Based on couple of tries in the city, I do agree that I wouldn't be turning it on to stare at the partially filled screen, however I frequently drive at night in the cottage country and having animal / people warnings pop-up on head-up display is what I got it for. Will get a chance to test in a couple of weeks.

Congrats, and great spec! The paint looks gorgeous paired with the ivory seats and matte trim. Enjoy the new X7

Sounds like it's going to be a good addition for you regardless of what was mentioned. If you're on another screen (i.e., navigation), does it automatically turn on if an animal for example comes into view?

You get the warnings in the HUD. If you change the screen back to nav the NV is gone. Worse yet, if you change the radio or make a phone call the NV does not come back up on the screen. Really a poor design.

Fantastic car
Congratulations 🎉🍾🎈🎊

I'm inclined to ask. Does Canadians specs have rear fog lights in them ?
