Any issues upon delivery?

I had two very minor issues.

1. Received blue instead of red calipers
2. Sirius Xm wasn't pre-loaded

Other than that I put some miles on the car this weekend and had a blast.

You look like a proud owner of that car! hope you reach the pedals :P

jokes aside, looks good and cute doggo !

what is Sirius Xm ?

Cail4827 · 03-15-2021, 09:55 AM

Satellite Radio - In the US its supposed to be included in the package for a full year. Doesn't even show up in the app page. Dealer is trying to find a fix for it now.

The caliper thing sucks! Did they offer anything in terms of compensation?

Car looks good

No they didn't. But I do have to say this. I wasn't too disappointed because I feel like the blue matches well with the laser lights. I was too excited to get in some drive time to truly care.

Blue and black never go to together well and if your ordered red I would demand they make it right (whatever that may be). And that front plate is painful to see.

car looks awesome, great looking pup also

You know, the same thing happened to me in terms of the calipers. I ordered 2021 F90 in Donnington Grey and truthfully did not really care about the caliper color, but I did order red and the car was delivered with blue. The dealer did offer me the option of ordering another car. I did not want to wait another 3 months, and when I saw the car with blue calipers I liked it. They also gave me more money off on top of the already 8%.

Wow, at least they did good making it right. You'd "think" it would be a simple fix... just swap em out and done. I guess not!

I'm in MD and dont have a front plate mounted. They dont care too much around here. DC is another story so I do carry my plate around when I'm there and leave it on the dash

bri1042 · 03-15-2021, 11:35 AM

No issues with mine after 5 days.

Jcali86 · 03-15-2021, 11:40 AM

Plate looks good, better than I thought it would. Hoping I can get a black California plate without waiting a year, or leave it off as the front looks so much better without one (American or European).

What do you mean? Blue and black is a great combination.

Took delivery Sunday night. I love the look of the new car from beginning. Now in person even better. Upon delivery rear right was damaged. Dealer said had no clue. Was trying to touch it up, said no rim please.

solstice · 03-15-2021, 12:47 PM

Great looking car, would you mind posting a side profile picture to show the mix of M4, blue calipers, 826M bi color and BSM? I’m thinking of the same combination but with red calipers, however I’d love to see it with blue to compare.

Bimmr7 · 03-15-2021, 01:12 PM

Picked up today abs no issues to report. Since Germany requires a front plate the dealer and I agreed on a temporary solution (I head back to the states next month) he just taped it to the front with some very strong tape. Contact areas are just the plastic pieces that splits the grill.

Cail4827 · 03-15-2021, 02:08 PM

Another option that worked for me, and caused no lasting damage was zip-ties. I had to zip-tie my license plate in Massachusetts to meet inspection guidelines. Just cut it off once you're past the inspection/review.
