2 car garage and we'll be up to 4 cars with the G80, so it'll be parked outside.

Looking to order a car cover, something to protect from hail in the worst case. Amazon didn't have anything that looked worthwhile based on what I searched and those inflatable bubbles look like a great breeding ground for mold.

What's out there that actually works well?

Keep in mind that sand, dust, and dirt blows under car covers and turns into sandpaper when it falls between the cover and paint

Could you please post more pix of the exterior. I'm interested in that color, but I'm not sure how dark\light it is compared to the previous generation.

I also got the all-weather set of mats without it being on the window sticker. I've never had the dealership throw them in for free, so they must have shipped with the car. Or they accidentally gave me a present.

did you get M branded ones specifically or just generic G2X rubber mats. Dealer promised me a free set of rubber mats but said parts not in stock yet...

Generic G2x from the looks of them. Considering how much the car and I have been rained on in our first month together, I've certainly appreciated them, though.

Went for coffee with my SO, enjoyed the twisty roads between home and the coffee shop, then went to Costco and bought many things. Along the way, I realized that I've had my 6MT frog for a whole month. Very quick month! I'm still not through the break-in miles...really need to not be so busy with work.

Had a photoshoot with some friends and I gotta say, they made Dravit Grey pop in a beautiful way. More shots to come once we are finished with the edits:
