What does that run? Thinking of the same for my M4 vert.
Not sure I understood your question. If you're asking about how much I paid for it, no point in me telling you that because we don't live in the same country.

My guess is the G8x will do great in the snow with appropriate tires.
It does…I have a RWD only and live in southern NH…run stock 825m wheels with sottozero 3 tires, and have no issues; actually just have had fun in the snow

No, everyone in the US seemed to be out of stock. I actually ordered from 2 places, here in the US, that "claimed" to have them in stock, and both sites actually refunded my money.

I ordered from a site in Germany, that posted an install video, on YouTube, recently and they actually had them in stock. I think it was $116 shipped from Germany. Took about 7-8 days.

Pointless perhaps (akin to color-matched painted engine covers) but private eye candy at every fill-up .. so what, like 2-3 times a week?

If you daily yours, yes.
I'm still on my first full tank since taking delivery 2 months ago... so not so often for me.
I plan on driving the car a lot more when it warms up!

BMW has an OEM Aramid weave shark fin. Although I'm not 100% if it's a shark fin cover or an actual shark fin. Problem with carbon fiber shark fin is that it will affect XM signal whereas Aramid will not. I'm still waiting to see what the actual part looks like as we can't get it in US yet.

I recall you mentioning that before. Still interested in this option. Was hoping you'd have gotten one in and installed it before I would have to be a guinea pig.

I'll chat with my parts specialist tomorrow about it. We have a customer who wants one. I'm interested too. I'll try and remember tomorrow lol

So the Aramid cover doesn't affect your signal?

Finally decided to play with the LED lighting colors with Bimmercode. Cyan primary with Orange secondary ended up amusing me.
