Just received confirmation that my AR Tartufo M4 convertible is in Brunswick, GA. Scheduled to pay for it on April 27 at which time I will have them install the carbotech brake pads and the M4 carbon fiber front lip (purchased from getbmwparts.com.) I will post pics when I can.

Finally got it… BSM, Fiona red full leather. And ordered r44 ducktail, unit 17 and carbon seat backs. Anything else folks?

Couple of issues I have with the car. 1) After owning a g80, vert needs spacers, wheels not flush enough for my taste. 2) No gesture control, WTF? 3) Steering wheel not as meaty as a g80, just in my head? 4) Never owned a vert, is the normal hand car wash around the block ok?

Unit 17 has a front lip and at a good price point. I saw one video of a G83 with a rear spoiler not sure which brand it was though.

Followed your guidance to the teeth

What's carbotech pads do?

What is everyone's thought on the Moonlight colored convertible top vs the typical black? Anyone have it?

I have the moonlight top mine. In comparison to the "regular" black top, the moonlight top is more silver/gray in color and tends so "shift" in color to some extent when the light shifts. Color description is very subjective, but I think that it compliments Dravit Gray very well.

Hutchinson04 · 04-27-2022, 03:09 PM

I purchased it but did not take delivery yet. I am having Carbotech pads and MPerformance carbon fiber lip installed before I take delivery.

Yes! Very annoying.

It's happened a few times in the last couple months but not all the time. Bugs the crap out of me when it does happen, though.

masd79 · 04-27-2022, 08:25 PM

Finally managed to take a few pics of my g83… is mine moonlight or black? I didn't even know there was another option

masd79 · 04-27-2022, 08:27 PM

Man this car needs spacers bad.. I just ordered 15/12s hope that flushes a bit more

Looks like black to me. My moonlight picks up a lot silver in bright sunlight from the certain viewing angles.

Your car looks great!

I’m late getting in on this but I picked up my SPY w/ YMB interior back in March. I haven’t done a proper photo shoot, but here’s a couple quick photos.

What dealer ordered that color combo for a vert lol. Not hating but there is no way they had an easy time selling that

Do you have the wind screen in? I cant remember for sure, but I think I only get the flapping when I don't have it in. I am waiting for warm days again and I can report back. The weather here in Indiana is bipolar so who knows when it will be warm again. In my Wrangler I would just fasten the passenger seat belt.
