My Sophisto Grey Xirallic 540i - Carbon M Performance Goodies!
Though i'd start my own build thread.
Never thought this car would be happening, rewind to September 1st 2016 I had just picked up my Silverstone/Amaro Brown M3 CP. All was great after waiting over 5 months for it. But then it developed a knocking noise from the rear axel somewhere. To cut a very long story short the fault was never resolved and the car was rejected. I thought about another on but wasn't keen on waiting for that long again, looked at a C43 AMG Tourer, and was close to ordering but then they could actually build to the spec I wanted. Then looked at Audi S4 Avant and actually ordered one. Then I nipped into my local BMW dealers and ended chatting to the sales guy, I had ruled out the G30 because I presumed it would be a long wait. But they had a build slot for a 540i with delivery W/C 20th March. So it was ordered and here is the spec: G30 540i Sophisto Grey Xirallic Black Nappa leather with contrast stitching Piano Black trim (best of a bad bunch) Visibility Pack Headlight Wash Adaptive LED Headlights High Beam Assist Technology Pack Display key Head-up Display Enhanced Bluetooth with Wifi Charging BMW Gesture Control Wifi Hotspot Comfort Pack Reversing Camera Comfort Access Comfort seats Exterior mirrors folding with anti dazzle M Sport Plus Pack 20" 759 wheels Sun protection Glass Harman Kardon Parking Assist Plus Surround view Rear view Remote 3D view Parking assistance Driving Assist Plus Approach control warning Lane changing warning Lane departure warning Prevention of rear collision Speed Limit Information Active Cruise Control with stop/go Cross traffic warning front & rear Crossroads warning Evasion Aid Lane Change Assist Land Keeping Assistant Steering and Lane Assist Wrong-way warning Variable Damper Control (VDC) Heated Steering Wheel Electric Sunroof Spilt Fold Seats Remote Services (no idea why this is extra) Last edited by ajfoggy; 03-20-2017 at 07:54 PM..

Congrats on a very nice G30 built. Not many options left.

Just added a few carbon bits as well
Rear Spoiler Rear Diffuser Mirror Caps Black Grilles Sills Splitter not available at launch, which is odd because on previous cars they have stated you can't fit the diffuser without the splitter or could have been the spoiler without the splitter. I always thought that was BS to make you buy both, an it seems the case if you can do it now because it's not available.. |

This looks like a nice build. You've gone way beyond my options and it looks lovely.
I've got a 540i msport xdrive on order. Sophisto grey, white ivory interior, msport + pack, VDC, HUD, split rear seats, lumbar, fine wood trim, folding mirrors, adaptive lights, driving assistant (only for speed limit display!!). List was £48,980 car and £6505 options plus the usual on the road and delivery stuff at £1513 plus the 3 year service pack £575 - total £57,573 Managed to get the total deal for £49,923 Be interested to know what discounts others are achieving. The first conversation I had back in November they were offering me 4%. Good news is the car will be here in 2 weeks. First time I've bought a car without driving it. Ended up taking a 440i Convertible out as it was nearer the weight of the new 540i. Hoping this is going to remind me of my old E39. Much missed. |

Pretty much same spec as mine apart from colour, med blue, and interior Ivory White Nappa and Comfort Pack plus Bowers Wilkins ear bleeding stereo. Oh by the way the service pack should be £399 to the chap who's paid £575. Oh Apple Car Play, soft close doors, blinds, sunroof, and premium pack etc i think thats it, all in including delivery to my door, just over £71k, got the lot for £64K!! Im also week 10 and been told yesterday 14th March, so thats actually week 11 but apparently that can change even between now and then!!

The model delete and side badge delete were factory. But it's really easy to take them off.
A bit of fish line and saw behind the badge to cut through the tape. Then a hair dryer and tar or glue remover to get the tape off. A little polish to finish it. |

Congrats on your lovely 540i.
Is it just me, or does the privacy dark glass looks darker on the G30 compared to on the F10?
