Took delivery of G82 yesterday - limited first impressions from (ex) F82 owner

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
So yesterday was an exciting day.... I collected this...



I can't tell you all how nervous I was, letting my F82 Ruby Red/Ivory M4 Comp go and switching to something that has had such negative social media reviews....
But I should not have worried....

It is amazing. Utterly amazing and, for me, meets all my requirements.

It is off to the body shop tomorrow for a ceramic coat so only done a very few miles but.....
You can feel that this is a very quick car and significantly quicker than my outgoing one, which was no slouch. This is a much more refined ride but for me the biggest difference is the turn-in and tracking through a corner. I think a lot of this has to do with the chassis. Where as the front end of my F82 would have "danced" and "skipped" a little on a rough, tight corner; the G82 just grips and dives in with no movement at all. Just amazing... so stable and give you so much confidence.

And.... I think it looks stunning. There is a great article on one of the other threads about why photos don't do this car justice... it is very true...







Will get more pictures after the ceramic coating.



This is from the detailers. They are part way through polishing and coating....

congrats, stunning car. great color.

Those are the bi-color wheels, correct? (not the jet black version right?). They look great in pictures but I can't quite discern what is "bi-color" about them. Is it the entire face of the wheel is graphite and the inner is black?

Hi, and thanks. And Yes. These are the bi-colour 826 wheels. They are as you describe; The face surface is probably more a brushed alloy and the inside surfaces are a deep graphite grey... not quite pure black.
I had originally spec'd the all black 826 wheels but changed my mind. Very glad I did.

I will try and take some pictures when it is back from the detailers..

SPY in person is a stunning colour. Yes it is not subtle, but in good daylight/sunlight it looks "smooth" (only word I can think of) and if it is duller light (we get a lot of that in the UK) it seems to have a very slight green tint.

It was a bit of a leap of faith but I am really happy with it. The carbon also looks really good against the yellow.

I've ordered SPY with Yas interior and the carbon trim and carbon exterior pkg. Can't wait to see it all come together! Thanks for some additional SPY photos, not many coming in lately.

Saw one on Sunday with a full black interior. It made the tinted side windows really stand out for some reason. For me it was a little too dark and "black", not many of the details stood out.. The Yas interior will be epic... which wheels did you go for...?

I went for the 826M in black and then with the red calipers. I know the red calipers will clash a bit with the Yas interior but from the images on the configurator the red really pops out agains the black wheels and the SPY. Plus I have the blue calipers on my X3 M40i now so I wanted to change it up from that perspective as well.
