It must be Mediterranean Blue metallic, since that's an option for the G30.

lol they're so bad at hiding the model designations...can clearly see 550. Looks very good, hoping for a really nice rim to go along with the rest of the car!

Little off topic but they seem so similar to the F10. No dramatic change.

I believe 19" 664M in Cerium Grey will be standard with 20" 668M as an option.

Here's the 20" 668M.

so the M550 get the shadowline trim but the Msport models on the 530 and 540 get the chrome trim now? Is that a general direction BMW is going with styling?

Not liking the hood to grill fitting, but possibly they will improve that. Looks like a part is missing in the centre.

No, here in Europe you can choose between shadowline trim and chrome trim with M-sport.

I really hope those are just the winter wheels. Also, it just says "550i" not "M550i"... I thought 550i was gone and there will only be M550i.

the aftermarket is going to have a heck of a time with replica black performance grills. i wonder if those who dont care about the reduced drag can switch to a grill that is always open.

You can get OEM black M performance grills to the new 7-series G11/12 with similar grills, so I'd expect the same for this.

They could have just debadged it instead of that shitty tape job lol

Those are some nice calipers tho.

I do like that it still resembles the F10 because I dont wanna feel outdated lol

No, looks like style 642.

I'm 99% sure the G30 will get the new 5x112 bolt pattern, and that means old OEM wheels with 5x120 bolt pattern from F10 and F01 won't fit.

There was a discussion regarding the gap between the hood and the grills. http://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1322390

Good point. Perhaps in Europe the diesel 550 will get the M prefix, who knows
