I can't get over how dark those 826m bi color rims are. Since the rest of the car is immaculate, I'm assuming the rims aren't dirty right? I wish there was an option that had more pop than the 826 bi color but less than the 825 silver.

Not they car was actually dirty so the rims were too

Took a pic of my IOMG…

Ooops, 136 kph in a 90 zone.

$15 fine…..until the next one

So, funny thing. I was messing about on the configurator and it looks like the standard 18/19" option is gone and the 825M Bi-Color wheel has changed. It looks like when you toggle between the 825M Bi-Color and 825M Orbit Grey, the interior barrel of the wheel changes, that's it. Snap shot attached of the "new" 825M Bi-Color.

You can still get the 18/19 in the Base or Competition models. It is not available on the Competition xDrive model.

Whenever I see pics of IOMG with the darker 825s, I think of the American Racing Torq Thrusts in Bullitt.

Pretty sure the snap shot is of the Orbit grey 825m wheel. I think your computer failed to make the change to the Bi-color. Hope this is the case since I specced 825m bicolor and my build slot is April.

I created a thread for it in the general section. Looks like others have had the same thing show for them. I also included two different snapshots, one of each bi color and orbit - there is a slight difference.

Car arrived last night and picked it up this morning. I will make a thread once it's detailed etc but here's my first real contribution to this thread.

I would get parking sensor malfunctions and I had issues with the transmission shifting using paddles.

Do you think IOMG fits better with 826 Black vs bi-color?

Depends on your look. I think bicolor looks nice and black looks racey.

Good call! I also feel black suits more for M4 and bicolor suits for M3...

I just got my allocation today and I went with the 826 black wheels. I was able to see this combo in person and the look is more aggressive. The bi-color are nice as well but more classic in my opinion!

Just fyi mine are black in the pic above.

MMM.PWR · 03-06-2022, 11:41 AM

Snowing overnight so my scheduled car wash is a no go. Touch-free for now. Can't wait to get this thing PPF'd and coated.

This snow and salt need to go so I can use it!

GoodGuyAvi · 03-08-2022, 01:24 PM

Black calipers with 826B wheels.
(Again camera picking a wrong color of paint)
As you can see all attention goes to the rim it self…no interruption no busynes in background…
