2018 G01 M40i with pics!!!
Phytonic Blue Metallic
20" 699M - Pirelli PZero Performance RFTs Black Vernasca Leather w/blue contrast stitching Aluminum Rhombicle Trim All Packages Wireless Charging HK Sound System Adaptive M suspension A massive evolutionary step forward compared to the F25 in every way possible. Here is just a few quick thoughts with @600 miles in. Phytonic Blue Metallic What a great looking blue. No wonder I see so many other owners on these forums rocking PBM. Looks better in person and very different than Deep Sea. Really stands out in the sunlight. 20" 699M - Pirelli PZero Performance RFTs These wheels were the perfect choice for me. They ride so much better than my previous 20" 310Ms. It is obvious that for what they are, RFTs are getting better. The ride is no where near as harsh as a lot of the reviews claim it to be. Go and test it for yourselves. Is it as good as non-RFT? No...but it's going to get there. Black Vernasca Leather w/blue contrast stitching Aluminum Rhombicle Trim I am in love with this color combo and how soft the leather looks and feels. The Rhombicle trim looks very modern and works well with the other silver bits in the interior and picks up the LED colors nicely. The only thing I wish was different here is that they could have omitted the silver metal band along the length of the glove box and the cheap looking X stamps. The technology in the G01 is very impressive. IMO, the infotainment and ergonomics of the interior is best in class. PERIOD. Very low key without the bling that runs rampant in this class. Everything is pretty much where it should be with a few exceptions. Wished the rear tailgate lift was not so close to the window keys and that the seat settings were out of sight. The Sport wheel is utter shit...but we all knew that buying in early. This is a MUST change for me. BMW screwed this one up bad. The wireless charging for an S8+and phone integration via Android is flawless so far. From the digital display to the individual settings in Sport Individual...it is very good! I still need some seat time to just go through all the settings and set things up. No real need to mention the power and sound. It is intoxicating compared to my F25. It's not even close. This SAV is very fast! Hard to stay under 5k RPMs while breaking her in. Enjoy the pics! *Added a picture of a steering wheel cover I purchased to deal with the thin Sport Wheel that came as standard in early G01 M40i orders.

I think that blue in some of the pics looks so similar to Deep Sea Blue and in others it looks more lighter. I got a chance to see it in person but it was at dusk and I didn't like it as much as my Deep Sea Blue. But I think I am going to give it another chance because I like the color on mine. I've had almost 6 years with Deep Sea Blue and the black/silver interior that I think I'm ready to switch to Carbon Black with Saddle interior. But seeing some of your pics might make me change my mind. I'll go back and give it another look. Good Luck with your ride man. I'm still about a year away from the next one.

Nice pics... Anyone notice that the privacy glass in the rear seems really tinted vs. the past when it seemed barely tinted? Or is it just me and I'm imagining things? lol

A little over 65K. IMO, best in class.
Less expensive then the competition and outperforms them all with the exception of the Macan Turbo/PP.

No doubt BMW dropped the ball on this steering wheel. It is the only major issue I have with the M40i. Figured I would post this here as a quick and cheap way to remedy the situation until an official change is made/available. As you may all be aware, Sor has a great post on doing a G30 wheel swap.
http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1444289 In the meantime, this cover works for me. It still sucks but it is a lot better than that skinny Sport Steering Wheel. It is quite sad I had to resort to this as I hate the wheel that came with the vehicle. FYI, it is installed backwards and upside down compared to the picture on Amazon and IMO looks and feels better installed this way. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Sucks we have to resort to such things being early adopters. That amazon link is broken, do you have the correct link or the name of the item? Btw my m40i on order is exactly identical to the one you have inside and out, down to the colors, packages, and wheels. We must have good taste. =)
