Woohoo! We ordered our M40i on 2/25/2018 so it took about one month to build and deliver to California. We've only driven it about 50 miles so far, but we are absolutely loving it; very happy with this purchase!

Gorgeous ride. Congratulations!

How about some photos of that poplar trim? It's hard to find good pics of the gray poplar.

Cannot go wrong with the Blue and the Black w/blue piping interior. Awesome combination....

Congratulations, MostlyHarmless, and thanks for sharing some images! After you've had some time driving I'd be curious for a comparison with your previous F-Pace. I know it had some issues, but mainly from a driving and interior/cockpit feel comparison. Given the F-Pace's ample cargo room, aerodynamics, and light weight (as far as SUV/SAVs go), if they improve on some areas, and with the 570HP around the corner, it would seem at least on paper they could become a major competitor with the G01. Having never set foot in one I have no basis for comparison.

Congratulations, looking good!

One month seems pretty fast to build and deliver to CA, my M40i should finish production on Monday so hopefully will get here soon

Cool, love your car! I ordered mine on 3/5 so hopefully that means I am about a week out.

When did you order yours?

[EMT_BMW]

Congrats. Nearly have an indentical build, due in 3 weeks.

Mind posting some interior pics?

I did gray poplar trim too but still haven’t seen it in person.

Around Feb 22, but the order was only entered into the ordering system on March 9.

Closer to five weeks, but yes I was very surprised that we got it so quickly!

[JamnX3]

Nice! Looks like mine. I'll look for you in Monterrey.

Here are some pics of the trim.

It can vary based on when your order went in. My dealer had one slot open that was going into production within a few days of placing the order.

Well, we did quite a bit of driving yesterday, including some nice twisties going over Laureles Grade. I can tell you that the M40i is more composed around the corners, has a quieter cabin, feels more solidly built, is noticeably quicker, and has a much nicer interior than the F-Pace.

What I liked about the F-Pace was the exterior style, the cargo space, the rear seat leg room, and the two-tone red/black leather interior that we had; although the M40i may fall a bit short in those areas, it's not enough to be a hindrance at all. For example, the cargo capacity and rear seat leg room are only marginally better in the F-Pace. At the time that we bought it I also liked the infotainment system quite a bit, but I have to say that BMW's is much better; more responsive, more customizable, etc.

If and when Jaguar improves their build quality, interior amenities, and quality of materials then they will become more viable. I'm especially intrigued by the I-Pace electric version of the F-Pace; it looks gorgeous and seems to be very competitively priced against the Tesla Model X. Knowing what I do now about their build quality, however, I wouldn't touch any Jaguar model unless it's been in production for at least 3 years and they have most of their kinks worked out.
