It was a software fix here. We were held up for less than a week. I’m sure you will get them soon.

In Europe they don't accept this, so we have to wait.

Europe is a special world, you know ;-)

Thanks, it’s my wife’s ride, she is very happy. She is coming out of a 5.0 Mustang GT. I feel like it’s a little under powered but, like I said, it’s her ride.

Heh Glenn.
Excellent colour choice, esp with Cognac Vedasca leather. The first choice for my m440i Cab on order was also arctic blue on cognac, but kids and wifey unanimously voted for Dravit Grey on Cognac, which I'm fine with. They weren't against Arctic Grey but thought I've had a somewhat similar Stratus Blue Audi Q5 back in 2010.
My only peeve with BMW Cabriolets is that their back seat leather seems rather loose with creases and sags. I think Mercedes make the best soft top and interior seat leather qualities. They're taut and snug. Absolutely no sags nor creases since day one and after an almost 3 year's lease.
Anyway, like I say, great choice and your wifey will be enjoying her new ride for sure.
On another note, I really feels for our European members whose built cabriolet orders are still on Hold due to a rather stringent or like they say..its quite a different world there.

Well I must agree that the seat covering could be tighter, it’s not an annoying degree of slack, but it is noticeable and it should be better for the price range of these cars.
My local dealer has an M4 in Dravit grey on the showroom floor and it is awesome. I’m sure you will love it.

With that soft top the cab might technically be less firm than the coupe, but I drove both and didn't notice any difference.

Hello, finally received my car, not yet driven enough to give an opinion

I just want an exhaust, and maybe some gold rims, to go with the leather, I hesitate

Wow! Sure took Europe a while to clear up that airbag recall issue on 4 series Cabriolets. Well at least yours was built before the chip shortage feature deletions that are affecting current factory builds.

Enjoy your new car and in time for this summer.

Just one man's opinion: I'm not seeing those gold rims on that car.

430i Mineral white/moonlight after ceramic coating, installing 235 Michelin PS4's and 45% tint. (Sorry about the angle, the detailer took it).

Drove it 1000 miles over two days, got a surprising 32+ mpg with a heavy foot and going through the mountains. Not anything like the F83 I had power wise, but much more refined.

Black grill is on backorder from Germany, thats my last mod.

Beautiful car ! FWIW, I love it with the silver grill surround since it goes with the wheels so well

Just got over 1200, so opened her up a little. Nice response and solid feel. Went on secondary roads and the handling was smooth even in S mode.
Still finding nooks and crannies in the display interface.... Glad I got the M version.

When we remove the wind deflector from my wife's 430, an error message is displayed in the HUD. The car also beeps with the error sound.

The error message states to "Check Wind Deflector". There's nothing to check as it has been completely removed. Any thoughts on what causes this and how to address it?
