Looks amazing. Love the color shift. I think what keeps many more people from ordering this color is they see it on the whole wrong car. Base x3 with silver wheels - beige interior etc. will never do it any justice . Takes a car like this to bring it to life.

Also, your Detailer did a very good job. Paint looks perfect in all the photos.

I've been wondering the same thing and I think I finally figured it out. Clearly he's a Buddhist monk. How else could he have the spiritual fortitude and detachment to be able to cycle through so many beautiful and sometimes exotic cars in such a carefree manner? He has to be a monk, period. In my case, I would be hopelessly attached to even just one of his cars.

Or he just makes a shit ton more money than the majority of us on this board and therefore it is easier to move around to many different cars. 🤷🏻😂

Once again sick car! looks amazing with spacers and lowering springs. both are added on the bucket list to be ordered.

Vic55 if you were to buy the car again, what options will you select including color and packages?

I already love your car's color combo with aventurine red and Silverstone interior, but wanted to see what features are worth getting and what aren't. Especially M drive professional, carbon interior, and may be park assistance package, etc. I was hoping your insight will help as you already have the car. Thanks in advance.

So both my G80's were basically pre built so I didnt have an absolute choice on the build but personally I think would go like this:

X Drive
Frozen Black or Voodoo Blue (red calipers or CCBS)
M Sport (dont care if i have buckets) Seats with Fiona or Silverstone again- Full is nice but if not full Im ok since I dont pet my dash.
Exec
M Drive Pro
826 Black or 825 Orbit Grey
Parking package (this is what I wanted but dont have)
M Shadowline lights
Laser lights pew pew pew

I really dont care for the carbon exterior stuff as I can get good aftermarket crap LOL. Nor do i want the radar driving shit thing which I do have instead of the parking (drive ass pro). I think the carbon interior pack is nice but my AR car has the piano trim which in reality- works great. I dont touch my car like a pervert all over ahahahha.

But out of all my 12 M's; I have never ordered one.

Haha well said, I guess it is my lucky day as I got the allocation call from BMW. I have to finalize my order and turn it in.

I love the carbon black with Fiona red combo, but don't mind if I steal your current red and white combo for my build, it looks exquisite.

My current build is xdrive, Aventurian Red and Silverstone with 826M blk wheels, carbon interior, M pro package, red calipers, executive package, ventilated seats, M shadow lights, Laser lights .

Not sure if I should get the parking assist package? what are your thoughts?

I am not sure if I should remove the M pro package, as I don't care for the lap timer nor do I care for the drift analyzer. I am not 100% if 10 stage traction is part of this package. Hope Vic55 have insights here?

The M Driver Professional has the traction control piece but in reality, Ive used it maybe 3xs since I got the car.

I like driving in 4WD Sport MDM which is perfect for truly pushing the car but not turning into a douche bag with snap oversteer.

That's what I was thinking, the novelty wears off quickly after using it a few times, I am planning on driving on 4wd or MDM mode, I wasn't sure if it is worth getting for sake of getting and checking boxes.

What are Vic55 your thoughts on the Parking assistance package?

I will be joining you.

But like the post above me says, might be a while . Pretty much a total disaster to actually receiving a car.

I hear ya, I have quite a few friends waiting on their G8X's and two others that have their M5 CS's stuck at the port too.

I was hoping someone would get lucky as there are deliveries occurring but not in AR.

My car is IOMG and love it but my goodness this car in this color has so much presence. The pictures to me make it feel like an M5. It's truly jaw dropping to me the boldness this car has. Truly a great build! I think I would have a tough time on color choice if I were to order again.
