Looks great but quick question — is this pic from the dealership? If so, did they tint the rear windows? I noticed on the MyGarage website it shows the car with darker rear windows but every pic I see of a new delivery (including pics earlier in this thread) show what looks like no tinting at all or at least no different from front and rear. Yours appears to obviously be darker / have tint applied. Did it come like that ?

Hey man! Good eye. When you see the darker windows in the rear on MyGarage, it's likely for a VIN that has the Executive Package. That's because the Executive Package comes with the rear shades. And the stock photos they add of the cars with rear shades look tinted (even though they're not). In real life though the cars don't come tinted, with or without Executive Package.

In my case, the dealer put tints on the car as an accessory item (as well as wrapped the roof black). But because I'm in California where the law says no tints whatsoever on the front windows, they were able to tint only the rear windows of the car. Hope that helps explains things!

Oh yes yes! I saw this car posted. It is truly gorgeous and a wonderful spec. The guys who helped couldn’t be nicer, either.

Congrats!

The dark graphite is a great color. My only regret with it is that it is too dark but not black enough to make the black grill and trim look good. I'm replacing everything with carbon fiber so it stands out. I would almost say the cerium gray for all the trim would be better than black. I have a buddy with a dark graphite X3M that came with cerium and I think I'm growing to really enjoy looking at it.

Hope you are really happy with the Bernina Gray. It looks great.

20" wheels are a bit rough on the ride quality but their aesthetic value outweighs that when you consider how big the wheel arches are on these cars.

I'm loving the Bernina so far, I think it's so unique. And it literally changes color depending on the lighting. It looks different at night for sure.

The 20's are honestly pretty darn comfortable (only driven 250 miles so far so maybe I'll have a different opinion down the line). I thought the ride quality would be much worse based on what people were saying. I'm happy with them.

From Day 1, I was either going Bernina Gray or Alpine White with the black Shadowline trim - it took me forever to decide, but I ultimately went with the Alpine White because (a) I LOVE the look of it with all black trim and red calipers & (b) the fact that I have never owned a white car - I've always owned grey or silver cars prior, so the white is a very nice change of pace for me!

I had the same decision to make but ultimately went with White as well, happy with my decision.

Minor Upgrades: Spacers, carbon fiber mirror caps, tints all around, retractable front license plate.

I did Tanzanite Blue with Mocha Nappa interior. I opted for the 19 inch rims because I live in the city, and 20 inch is when you get low profile tires, so that was a no go.

White or bernina grey or blue or any color. Looking good.
