well, I have bi colored 826m wheels, even though I had originally ordered the all black ones. When i changed the order to the xdrive model , it somehow got messed up and I didn’t catch the error. So my dealer offered at no charge to have the wheels powdered coated black or I can pick some free stuff out for the car (carbon fiber m stuff for example). So not sure what to do yet. I have sao paulo yellow with the yas marina full leather, and just wanted to keep it black and yellow.

Set myself up for a 9am delivery on Saturday and then a 30 mile drive right to my detailer for a full satin PPF wrap, tint and ceramic.

Same exact thing happened to me. I wanted jet black wheels but ended up with bi-color. I'm actually not that mad because it looks pretty good in person. I am a little upset however that they had an "oops" attitude about it. No compensation or anything like you're being treated to.

I totally forgot to check at the dealership. But I just checked and realized I have Michelins! Happy about that!!

Congratulations! It looks amazing - black on black is such a clean spec.
The more I see the new headlights the more I like them. They look great on the new x5s, but I imagine even better on a G82 in person!

Personally I like the new headlights. I was around when angel eyes first came out and I think this is the next evolution. Have not driven it at night yet to see how the actual performance of the headlight, but I do like the new style DRLs

Just received the email from my CA to schedule my Performance Center Delivery. My car was offloaded from the Polaris Highway at Brunswick I think on the 29th or 30th. Initial date they gave me is May 24th but I think I’m going to have to ask for an alternate date.

The email also says no factory tours until late 2024 which is a bummer.

Starting to like the bi 826m! It shows the detail more and the subtle grey color isn’t really noticeably, and it actually shows the detail of the wheel. They gave me the wheel and tire package at no charge due to the ordering error on their half!
The full leather option is well worth the money and I recommended everyone to get it. Also the m professional package gets you track mode!

Thanks for sharing. Looks like a 3-week period for PCD after getting out of VPC.
Anything changing with program at performance center delivery if no factory tour? The tour usually took up a solid 1-1.5h of the day.

The email only mentioned that you can reschedule a factory tour once they resume. I also had requested the first available Friday so it may be a slightly less than 3 week wait if you wanted a different day of the week.

Picked up the G80 today, lost the tire lottery, logged 31 miles and now a one week wait for the next shop to finish...full matte wrap, tint and ceramic everywhere.

Congrats! How does your HAS look? Mine looks great, looks like they did dropped mine the full 20mm (I really haven't checked yet as I have been literally working, sleeping, back to working since I picked it up....but just saying from outside looks of it) I've read in a few threads that the NJ port typically does drop them the full 20mm and most other ports only drop half way at 10mm. I'm loving the drop whatever it is!

Yeah, it looks like the full 20mm or really close to it. Won't know for certain until next weekend when I get it back and then start working on it. Really happy with the purchase.

Well just took my first night drive in my '25 G82 (and unfortunately in the rain, damnit!) and have to say I really like the lights. Great low beam visualization and great high beam visualization. [Disclaimer: I have never driven a G82 with Laser lights]. But compared to LEDs on my just traded in F82 and LEDs on my current '20 X3 M40i I would say they are an improvement. Just sayin'

Would love to see video of this once you’re not so busy with work.

Any pics of the stance? I am still debating if I should go for the MP HAS - but worried a bit about the ride quality. My family already thought is was a rough ride with stock suspension, I'm curious how much stiffer it is with MP HAS.

Well I have never driven a G82 with stock suspension so little hard to compare. But compared to my F82 I would say only slightly “stiffer”. Plus I always drive with suspension in “sport” mode. Here are some pics to give you an idea of the drop. Still have not confirmed that it is the full 20mm drop but I do like it where it’s at.
