Do all G30's with M Sport package get the M Sport badge on the side fenders? I've seen inconsistent pictures on line.

US no, Europe yes with the option to delete it.

Does the U.S. dealer have any way to "delete" the "delete"? i.e. can they remove the 3DZ from the spec and wind up with the badge? Too late for me anyway (yay!) but just curious.

Those M badges kind of look random on the panels, like someone just slapped them on as an afterthought. I look the clean look much more!

Yah maybe you're right... I know its a divisive subject... seemed like it had a little Cindy Crawford thing going for it...

How has week 2 been? Bet it only gets better, right?

It looks great. Specially in contrast with sports brakes.

Bluestone
Ivory white nappa
Cold weather
Drivers Assistance, Plus, and Plus II
Luxury Seating
Premium pkg
M Sport
20" wheels 759i
Piano black trim
M Sport Brakes
Power tailgate
Soft close doors
HK sound
RC parking
Apple CarPlay
Gesture

Oh, and BMW throws in the $2k loyalty, so I got the M performance exhaust just for fun.

In a word, the car is... fantastic.

Thanks to Kevin Woods at Steve Thomas BMW in Camarillo - he's the best sales guy around. Really did a stellar job getting this all together for me.

Here's a couple of pics, more to come later.

I don't understand (as others have stated), why they remove stuff for the US version when the car is manufactured in the same place for all. This is confusing. Is the US dash display really not all digital? I thought that was one of the new technology "selling pieces".

I also thought the 20 inch rims only came on the luxury version and when you try to add it, it makes you remove M sport? Can you confirm the logic there?

I am down between Bluestone and Ivory or Bluestone and Canberra. Did you look at other interior colors and if so, why did you choose Ivory? BTW - it is a beautiful combination and just searching for opinions and very much appreciated.

I needed M Sport and luxury seating package which narrowed me down to black (bored of it) mocha (hate it and it looks cheap) and ivory, which by default is my pick. It is beautiful. Even better than I expected. If I could have gotten cognac with the luxury seats I would have, but not available in US.

Thanks and that makes complete sense - I will go back to my configuration because I also want M Sport but was not specific on Luxury seats.

So you can add Multi-Contour seats separately so ventilation and massage was important to you, right?

So, if you could have gotten all of that, cognac would have been your choice. I have been going back and forth and the luxury seating package is not a deal killer as can add multi-contour separately. I cannot find a bluestone with cognac to look at though!

Right, I wanted the ventilated and massage seats, which by the way, ended up being a great decision, the seats are amazing and the massage is a million times better than in my F10 550.

Otherwise cognac would have been my choice, and I may have considered going with Dark Graphite as the exterior color. Now that I have Bluestone on ivory and see it in person, I probably wouldn't change if I could.

I'm glad to hear you wouldn't change your mind from Bluestone & Ivory Nappa. I've ordered the same on my new 530e. I've had comfort seats with massage on my last three 5 series. Glad to hear the massage facility is even better. My car arrives, hopefully, in 5 weeks time, one of the first 530e's in the UK. My spec is:-
M Sport
Bluestone
Ivory Nappa
Burled Walnut Trim
19" 664 Alloys
Comfort Seats
Massage
Ventilated Seats
Advanced Audio
Enhanced Bluetooth
WiFi Hotspot
Powered Boot Lid
Split Folding rear Seats
Soft Close Doors
Sunblinds Rear & Side
Exterior Folding Mirrors
Sun Protection Glass
Steering Wheel Heating
Adaptive LED Headlights
Headlight Wash
High Beam Assistant
Comfort Access
Parking Assistant Plus
VDC
Display Key

I went for the 530e because I get crucified by the taxman on BIK tax.

Nice spec! Enjoy it!

That's a beautiful car OP. Spec'd damn near exactly how I'd do it too! Just hope they offer a Cognac or some nice, rich carmel tones in Nappa by the time I might be ready to buy.

Hope you can take the time to post-up another thread on experience with the car after you've had some seat time?
