2017 440i xDrive GC

Daggen · 08-08-2016, 01:54 PM

Hi everyone!
Finally took delivery of the 440 today

Unfortunately it was raining when I drove it home so I´m sorry for serving up a dirty car and lousy iPhone photos. Will be better with next update.

Anyway, the car is amazing. Sound and comfort with these wheels are much better than OEM 442 with RFT. Also much lower in weight, it was actually surprising how much more heavier OEM/RFT was...

Wheels are CH-R 20x8 with 235/35 front and 20x9 with 275/30 in the back. Going to await lowering before deciding on spacers.

Lowering with ACS springs and MPPSK going in next wednesday. Will update once that´s done.

Drove briefly against my friend with his 997 Carrera 4 -11 from 70-200 km/h and I was behind about two car lengths. Not to bad..

iDrive 5.0 is soo much better and the leather with blue stitching is looking great.

Congrats on a beautiful GC.

Looks great with BBS CH-R!

wdeerfield · 08-08-2016, 02:22 PM

20" CH-Rs look right at home on there! will look even better with the springs. congrats on the new car.

ATLBlue · 08-08-2016, 02:29 PM

Can't go wrong with CH-Rs! looks great

Congrats and enjoy the new car.

Daggen · 08-08-2016, 02:30 PM

Yup, I also think the match to the car is really good and will be even better with a slight drop. Somehow though it feels as if it sits slightly lower than my previous 420d xDrive GC, maybe it is just the size of the wheels that fools the eye.

Special thanks to .BMW. for all helpful guidance on wheels!

Exactly !!! We want some pics of new iDrive

By the way awesome machine!!! Looks great with mighty BBS !

Daggen · 08-11-2016, 12:21 PM

As requested, better pics with clean car. iDrive and blue stitching included!

iDrive is really quick and much easier to use.

kenwelch · 08-11-2016, 04:18 PM

Does your steering wheel also have the blue highlight stitching?

CazuaLLUK · 08-11-2016, 07:00 PM

Very nice updated pics!

Tough choice I know. I decided to go with white as the black is always difficult to keep nice over time. In my experience white is more forgiving than black..
