Bluestone G30 from India

Hello everyone.

Got my 530D M Sport delivered last month. In India BMW does not allow us to customise our cars (except for 7 series and M cars) like you can, except for exterior and interior colours.

Instead for the G30 we get three options , 520 Sportline which is the base , 520 Luxury Line which adds a few more features and the top line 530D M Sport which adds most of the needed features.

My car came with Heads up display , Comfort seats, wireless charging , remote control parking , 4 zone climate control , Rear seat entertainment , M sport brakes , Gesture Control , Adaptive LEDs with high beam assist, adaptive dampers , mocha nappa interiors.

As standard it came with 18” M Sport alloys but I decided to add the 669M 20” M Alloys with the Pirelli P Zeros.

Finally coated with Modesta Coating over xpel ppf.

Thank you very much. Yes she was hard on the wallet but every time I drive her, I get a huge smile on my face so it’s worth it !

Unfortunately in India (and Asia) the government slaps ridiculous taxes on German cars so my 530D came up to almost 120,000$. I believe in Singapore and Thailand it’s even more !

Just a comparison of the M performance 20” 669m and Pirelli P-zero’s compared to the stock 662M 18” alloys and conti RFTs.

They were expensive but it was love at first sight when I saw them and in my opinion really made the car much better looking.

Thanks to the adaptive dampers ride quality is not compromised too much even on these roads in comfort mode.

I'm jealous. I like that color but it so close to the color of my 440 that I went with my second choice of carbon black. I made a mistake! Your car looks great.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. A couple of pictures I took today on a beautiful Sunday afternoon after I cleaned her up.
