2021 BMW M550i in Individual British Racing Green
Hi all!
First time poster here but long time lurker. For the longest time I've been a BMW fan and I mostly attribute that to my mother. After I purchased my M2 Competition back in 2019, my mother wanted to get a car that was a little more special than any previous model she had gotten. Thanks to Bimmerpost, I was fluent in the ordering process and I could help realize this dream for her as a middleman; however, 2020 could not have been a more odd year. The Ordering Process: What initially started out in late 2019 was an Individual M340i in British Racing Green with a Cognac Vernasca interior. Production would begin in April 2020 but I think we all know what happened by that time. COVID shut down production and for some reason the order that we put and had been tracking from the "My Garage" section of the BMW USA website disappeared completely. The order was cancelled. I called my dealer multiple times regarding a replacement order for the M340i but they were absolutely delinquent with their communication lines. They did not respond to voicemail, email, or even text regarding a possible replacement. Luckily, I knew someone that works for BMW Designworks who could help. I was informed by him that allocations for M340i's from Germany are difficult to procure since they're the only ones that can undergo the Individual treatment. After much discussion, we had decided to go from a G20 to a G30. My friend at BMW Designworks later retold our story to upper management, whom got in contact with the new dealer that we would be working with to help streamline the ordering process since it had been almost 9 months since we initially ordered the first car. Tp put a long story short, we secured a November production slot and the car was finally delivered in late January. I can't thank BMW USA and BMW of Beverly Hills enough for their efforts in securing the allocation and for making the delivery experience for my mother worthwhile. God Save the Queen: For some reason the delivery shots keep getting flipped, so I made an imgur album for them: View post on imgur.com Shots are done by https://www.instagram.com/timbrady94/ If you want to follow me for more: https://www.instagram.com/s55_m2/ |

I think she does too! Originally when I showed her the color she was not too confident of it. The color tends to shift between green to black. I'm glad she enjoys it!

Which version do you have? It should be somewhere under car. Or, you could just say "Hey BMW, Sports Displays."

Seems like there are quite many British Racing Green M550i in Korea right now. They just launched a special limited edition of 25 cars M550i in BRG.
