Just bought a new F15 50i

Appalachian · 05-26-2019, 09:46 AM

Well I'd been looking at the G05 and trying to warm up to it for several months now, including test driving one, but couldn't quite bring myself to pull the trigger on a 50i. Not sure why but I just haven't liked the G05 inside or out, and had actually started seriously cross-shopping the Cayenne. I was searching the web randomly last week and just happened on a new 2018 50i MSport in space grey (BMWs best color, IMO) just three hours away. I went and test drove it and had to bring it home. It was fairly well optioned. The only thing I don't like is the 19" 467 wheels. Not sure why they ordered an MSport with those but will eventually replace them with staggered black 469s or something similar. So for those of you regretting not getting an F15, there are a few still out there. And discounts are impressive; got about 16 percent off of MSRP.

Figured you would have gotten more than 16% off, since you're essentially buying a 1 year old car. But congrats.

CatalinP · 05-26-2019, 09:53 AM

16% off for a car that is not in production for more than a few months now is not impressive at all.

r33_RGSport · 05-26-2019, 10:14 AM

Congrats!!!

I myself can't convince myself about the new G05 interior design.
Exterior wise it is ok.

That's why I am now leaning toward the F97 X3M.

Just saw it at Bimmerfest West, and I think it would be my next car.

Do share pictures of your new ride.

We all never get tired of seeing F15.

Its that vs. buying a first year often-buggy model at much lesser discount. If I were OP, I would be quite happy and satisfied.

Awesome choice, great car and lots of power! Congrats!

Black with aluminum hexagon trim. With the space grey it was the exact color and trim combo I wanted. Still can't believe they discontinued the color.
