Hi everyone,
So excited as I ordered my G82 yesterday for an expected March 2021 delivery date in Germany (possibly 15 March 2021). The car was already dealer-ordered but could be re-configured to fit my needs.

Alpine White Uni / Leather Merino black
Additional features:
19"/20" 826M Black
M Compound Brakes Black
BMW Individual Shadow Line Lights

General thoughts I had:
I absolutely wanted to have the xDrive version, but instead to help my excitment decided to go for the earliest delivery date (March 2021) and the RWD. My workaround was going for a short-term leasing 24 months with the possibility to change cars after 21 months and then go for the xDrive. Or I am perfectly fine with the RWD and may extend the leasing contract. It is a more expensive thing to go early but still very happy with the competitive leasing contract I was offered at my dealership. Also I do not expect dramatic lease-rate changes in the next 6 - 8 months and simply wanted to breeze through the 2021 summer with my new ride
I also wanted to have the Carbon Bucket Seats but I was sitting in those seats at BMW Welt Munich and decided against it as they are not "wide enough" for my "stronger thighs" as former tennis and basketball player. I am 6´1" and normally built, not overweight but simply for longer drives I felt it is more safe to go with the classic seats. But do not get me wrong those seats are awesome and I would recommend everyone to take a look and may sit in first to decide.
I also wanted to have the Carbon Brakes but also decided against it as I think for my good weather or weekend driving with no track aspirations I am perfectly fine with the compound brakes. My dealer thought the same that going for the compound brakes is perfectly fine.
The Carbon exterieur was also in my thoughts but mostly because of the front. I will look for after-market solutions or stay with the standard here.
What are you guys thinking about RWD vs. AWD?
What are you guys thinking about the Carbon Features (Seats, Brakes, Exterior)?
Thanks!
