Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Hey all. My name is Brian and I'm a long time reader here, but this is my first post and I'm pretty stoked. Picked up my 540i M Sport in Black Sapphire Metallic and to say it's incredible would be a severe understatement. Pics below and on Instagram at @sapphire_g30

Love to see more pics including interior.

Welcome, and congrats on your new G30.

Cool pics, and please post more of the interior, look like you got the sport seats and I would like to see more of those.

phoenixbmwlife · 01-29-2017, 07:47 AM

Congratulations at being the first 540i owner here. Car looks great!

.BMW. · 01-29-2017, 07:51 AM

Congrats on a beautiful G30!

pharding · 01-29-2017, 07:55 AM

Welcome to the family, the last picture says it all.

alextse88 · 01-29-2017, 11:00 AM

wow beautiful !

remmib · 01-29-2017, 11:16 AM

One more question, what suspension did you go for?

AT LAW · 01-29-2017, 05:33 PM

Very sharp. Well done.

More pictures of the interior and of the window sticker please.

Mariuss · 01-29-2017, 08:31 PM

These are great thanks! Question to the audience: BMW obviously got rid of the selection between automatic and manual 'closed air circulation' on the A/C panel. Does anyone know if the default state is now automatic and the switched on state manual? I hope it's not just open air intake and closed air intake-I loved the automatic feature on all my previous BMW cars...

Eric500 · 01-29-2017, 08:40 PM

What kind of camera are you using?

Great pics!

midwest 340xi 6sp · 01-29-2017, 08:55 PM

Congrats!

Spec's and driving impressions please

ando · 01-29-2017, 09:14 PM

Well done. Like seeing the M Sport brakes. Congrats

pharding · 01-29-2017, 10:24 PM

What brakes are those?

It's controlled by the iDrive system now! There's an option settings for it. I'll shoot a photo of the menu display

RWD. Wanted xDrive, but that was going to add weeks to the wait time. (Honestly, I wanted an M550i, but I just couldn't wait until April/May haha)
