I especially love when people who either have never owned a real M or have owned a lowly-ass one make this argument (that the M name means nothing now). No offense, but a lot of M people thought M cars were going south when BMW started coming out with M cars for friggin 2 series and 4 series, etc. The M3 is iconic (and thus an exception) but I never saw the point of any other M cars besides for the 5 series and higher models.... It's the same with Benz....like really, you make an AMG for the CLA? What do those cost? $40k?

I’m finding many of the negative comments in this forum come from people who are not in the market for a three row. |

Call it what you want, but more power, more capable suspension and brakes is a great formula for pretty much any vehicle up to the point of maintaining comfort and reliability. That's where the M Performance versions are often in the sweet spot for me. I don't want a big M SUV or luxury anything, but M2, M Roadster or M3/4 are great. The 5 series is borderline now, as is the X3/4. Sure I like the idea of full blown M but not for much more than pride vs outright capability of I'm being honest.

FWIW, here's a review of the M50i, including a listen to the exhaust note. Guy isn't fully in the know, but.. whatever. Love the white with extended shadowline trim. But note the cerium grey wheels and badges with it. Clashes, IMHO.
I could have sworn the M50i was supposed to come with an "M" in the glass shifter knob instead of "X". Frankly, I'd prefer it with the X, as I think it's embarrassing putting M badging on a non-M vehicle. Somebody please buy this vehicle before the Hurricane comes and wipes it out.

Agreed. I asked my sales rep to see if I can get the 755M with black accents available on the 40i on my order. Going in tomorrow to finalize the order so hopefully I’ll have some good news. If not hoping to trade with someone who wants the cerium gray accents.

While I like the white with black accents (my current car), I think it’s gotten so common that a change to something different is welcomed by many. I personally like the cerium a lot, and like you, I ordered a dark color with the thought the contrast of cerium would look great. Based on pics of yours, I think we made a great choice lol! Congrats.
