Paralyzed G82 M4 driver

I currently have a G82 on order for production week 37 and I just want to share my experience with this car from the beginning of its production. I was injured in 2017 and left paralyzed from the waist down. I spent half a year in a hospital in Colorado having to relearn basic things I’d previously taken for granted. It’s safe to say in more ways than one I am lucky to be sitting here telling my story. During my stay in Colorado it was heavily hinted at that I would need to look at a vehicle that was more accessible like a van of some sort. I’ve owned my E92 since 2014 and I’ve had an E46 M3 previous to that. I’ve owned two 350Z’s before that so you can see where a van would be problematic. I was not going to let this deter me from being able to continue driving my E92. I began the process of making my E92 adaptable for my needs which ranged from installing hand controls to learning how to get in and out of my car with the wheelchair properly.
Which has now lead me to my new car that I have recently ordered. It is a 2022 M4 Competition Xdrive, the specs are listed below. I will be installing the same type of hand controls in my G82 as I did my E92 which is electronic and cuts off the accelerator pedal rerouting power to the hand controls.
I want to share this build with you all in hopes of showing that it’s possible, that even when you’re told no, there’s always a way to adapt, take it from me.
