Any real life pictures of the 2021 model ...

If you have any Real life pictures of the 2021 5er and can post them I would appreciate it.

I am trying to decide when ordering a new 540 which wheels to get as well as if I should go for the Shadowline package ... as far as wheels 'm not sure if I want to go with the 19" Y M spoke in either Bi Color (Silver/black) or just go for all black.

BTW I saw a 2021 Black 530 with the 19" V spoke wheels (Silver/black) and they look awesome ... also took some pictures of the 2021 540 Msport with the 19" Y M spoke wheels in the silver/black ...

I can post a pictures of either car if someone is interested.

Thanks for posting so many pictures, I love those wheels !!!

They are definitely the nicest wheels for the 5er, unfortunately they come with high performance tires (need all seasons for the winter) and are 20" so I am not sure how the ride is ... I would think the ride would be good if also pairing them with the Dynamic Handling package.

Wow, not really a fan of that color - looks like primer. I like the new tail lights, though.

Regarding the tires: why don´t you run two sets? One for summer, one for winter? All season is not really good for either, and while you of course have some expenses in the beginning to buy an additional set of wheels, you´re not wearing on your summers while riding on the winters and vice versa, so they should last twice as long Here in Denmark it´s quite common to have two sets of wheels due to the climate.

Nice color

Is that the new Bernina grey? Looks great on that car. I think the 19 " black wheels would fit nicely.

It’s all subjective of course, but I saw one in person last week and it looks pretty good to me. The pictures don’t show it as well in my opinion.

Ride is surprisingly much smoother and quieter than the 2018 540 w/ 19" RFT I turned in. No dynamic handling on this one

Yeah, weather has been pretty gloomy lately. Haven't had a chance to get pics out in the sun yet. Has a much better look outside I think

Not sure if there is a way to override but I do not think they will let you order them (668M) from the factory on the 540. You'd have to get them separately and add later.

Good point I didn't even realize that until I read your post.

Those initial out of focus pics are just painful to look at.

What's going on with the camera phone? You've got a beautiful car ruined by a phone that cannot focus any of the posted pics. Upgrade time?

Beautiful LCI shots in the thread
