My sticker was 104 and change and the M50 I priced was around 117 I think. Not exactly an earth shattering difference. Before that I priced the X50 and it was slightly less but I would have had to buy a grill and some other pieces to black out. I used to heavily modify vehicles, road race, drag race etc. Those days are just over, I want to buy the vehicle exactly how I want it and enjoy a quiet smooth ride. Amazing what years do lol and I’m not that old. It may have to do with the chaos I faced overseas and the now peace of driving a fine luxury automobile. Either way this is an amazing machine and not my last. |

I agree the wheel choices are too limited for the flagship high end model. I lease my cars and need to be able to return the same wheels the car came with. Swapping and painting is not an option.

Here's a M50i in Tanzanite Blue II without Extended Shadowline which looks pretty good with the Cerium Gray wheels. IMO the black grill and hockey sticks don't work as well with these wheels.

It doesn’t look bad at all but you’re right the black shadow line with those wheels doesn’t work. I played around with a bunch of configurations and found that the black wheels with black shadow line was a must.

I'm debating M50i vs 40i MSport at the moment, but leaning towards the 40i. There's maybe a 10% cost difference between the two cars in the way I would spec them, and that difference doesn't move the needle much at all for me (or I suspect for most people buying X7s). The biggest factor for me is the trade off between horsepower / performance and mileage. Given that this car is a huge SUV that I'll mainly use to drive my family around, the question I'm asking myself is whether the amount of time I'll spend enjoying the higher level of performance that the M50i delivers is more valuable to me than the reduced range that comes along with that performance, and how much increasing by a third my number of visits to gas stations will annoy me in the next few years. A few years ago, it would have been an easy answer and I would have bought the M50i. After running and enjoying a big BMW V8 for 3 years though, by the time I got rid of the car, I was tired of only getting 250 miles out of a tank of gas - not because it cost more, but because it just felt like a chore that I was always stopping to fill it up. At the end of the day I'd be more than happy with either model, but for the purpose this car will serve for me, on balance the 40i is probably a better fit. |

- 22" v-spoke wheels will be cerium vs. bi-color black - Cerium back, side and front accents, and grill (unless you go with extended shadow line) - Laser lights |

Drove both, M50i was very fast but the 40i isn't slow. Plenty fast for a large SUV. I don't have a reason to drive such a large vehicle so fast. I get 21MPG almost every tank in my 40i and its optioned similarly to the M50i that I drove. The startup sound on the V8 is much better but around town acceleration is more than enough (coming from F80 M3 Comp).

I'm just not a big fan of the cerium color, but I love the laser headlights. I could do the ESL but I don't like the black grill either. If I could make a 50i with Sport Package like they had in '19 I'd be all over it. I will be anxiously await what happens in August for order the 21s. I'll have to make a decision then what to get.

Great summation and basically my train of thought. I wasn’t it the way I want it and the inline 6 is more than enough for my small town. |
