I think it looks better in BSM or DG. If I were to buy this car, it would be in one of these colors.

I agree with the darker color approach. I'd also consider Tanzanite.

That weird seam down the middle of the leather trim around the radio controls is a huge bummer. Can't take my eyes off of it.

Really BMW??

They usually don't, they are the Beverly Hills BMW of Miami. No deals (usually), pumped up prices all because they know some influencer/celebrity/Russian/israeli/rich immigrant will come in and buy it (like in BH, and to be clear not all those people get duped (it's not an exclusive list), but enough do to make it suck going there). Good example is that they wouldn't budge from $1000 off MSRP on a 4 series convertible for my family member that was a demo car with like 4K miles on it.

I always recommend people go to dealers up in broward for decent deals.

I'm originally from Miami and have family there - where this is coming from.

Obviously this is a bit of hyperbole, but their reputation generally lines up with the above.
I've gotten 2 M3's and my i3 at Beverly Hills BMW. I shopped every single dealer in the area each time and BH always gave me the biggest discount with buy rate MF. No one could beat them. Maybe it depends on who you use and the relationship but my CA knows I negotiate with everyone and cuts to the chase. Very fast transactions each time.

Bothers me too, I really dont understand the need, its not a huge span to cover and you could certainly do a seam on either side. You know its not going to be 100% straight on every car either.

I'm starting to think full leather might not be the way to go for the G8x. It was a must have for me on the F8x and my G07, but I just don't see that much of a difference on these, and you habe to deal with this seam nonsense.

Yeah I really do think CA makes a big difference. Unfortunately the few at MH and Brahman Miami
I had experience with formed that opinion (and others who I've chatted with that had similar experiences). Definitely anecdotal, which is why I added the "(usually)" qualification.

I really dislike the way the rear wheels arches mate with the rear door. It isn’t a smooth transition. It looks forced. Like they ran out of time and just forced it in there.

And yeah, discounts in Miami are terrible. I always believed that there is more money than sense around here, and there is always someone willing to pay the asking price, without hesitation, particularly on a new model, just to have the latest and the greatest.

I can completely agree with you on the Braman Miami issues, and even Braman WPB. That place sucks. I'll never go there for a sale or take my cars there.

I bought twice from Braman Jupiter - both times easy 10+% discount. Maybe Braman Miami is worse, can't judge.
However, THIS. Jupiter is awesome. The advisors, both sales and service, are great. I've bought all my cars there and will continue to go there for any purchases in the future. I'm telling you, it's worth the drive to not put up with Miami. That being said, I live in Jupiter, so the commute is easy for me. (I'm the guy in the light blue polo in the pics above...) 😬

Green spotlights aimed at the car... are they afraid people would get a good grasp at the car's real color in reality ? non sense trying to alter the car's color by projecting some green light on it from all side... People want to know what it looks like in the flesh... really...

sorry got annoyed by this.. rant over

Love those wheels but the green accent stage lighting is just confusing the eye. Fire the stage designer.

I've purchased many cars from Braman in West Palm Beach. Good dealership.
My Salesman is Pat Torres. I'm giving him this plug because in all my dealings with Pat, he has always been straight up with me. Great person, working at a quality dealership. I would shop around and Pat was always able to give me the best deal. Reference my name (Jack R).

I would say it is between orange and tartufo. “Light tartufo”.
