Not yet. Called my Sales rep today and he said a production number and information should be assigned next week. Once that happens, hopefully I will have all of the info.

The clearance is good. I’m lowering 1.5” this Thursday. I’ll post more pics by The Weekend.
How do they ride? Any vibration issues?

Ok so here it is lowered with H&R springs. Just got it done yesterday. No vibration at all and to be honest the ride feels the same only more grounded.

Just as excited!

I considered Bklyn Gray but finally decided on the bright white--the same taste in interiors... Wonder why the Tacora Red does not extend under the dash the way the white and cognac leather does???

Ordered my M440i GC and just was advised it's in Production Queue and I got my VIN.

Color: Alpine White
19" M Y-Spoke Bi-Color Black Wheels
No shadowline--makes kidney grille blend into lower grille. In fact, plan to have grille outlined in body color much like the M440i coupe's grille.

Interior: Tacora Red Vernasca w/blk stiching
Open pore wood oak trim
Options: Driver assist pkg
Park assist pkg
Premium pkg
Red calipers
Icon adaptive LED's
Sensatec Dash
H/K audio
Adaptive suspension

Now just sit and wait...

After months of deciding between a M340i and an M440i GC I decided on the latter. Pretty happy with my build too, received a production number on 02/06 but it’s still scheduled for production the wait is too gruesome. Anyone have any idea when the production queue begins?

Here are my specs:
Color: Dravit Grey
Interior: Black Vernasca Leather
Open pore wood oak trim

Packages:
Premium Package
Driver’s Assistant Pro Package w/ Extended Traffic Jam Assist
Parking Assistant Package
Shadowline Package

Options:
Adaptive M Suspension
Front ventilated seats
Harman Kardon surround sound
Icon Adaptive LED w/Laserlight
SensaTec Dashboard
Wireless Charging
19” M Y-Spoke Bi-Color Black Wheels 859M

And the rest are standard features, only thing that I don’t get in standard is a touchpad iDrive (I get a non-touchpad version) which I don’t mind since I didn’t see myself using it anyways.

Take Heed

Just picked this one up for the wife after waiting 3+ months for delivery.



Be very careful about letting your dealership prep your cars. I am living through this pain right now.

It's really odd, the black plastic is incredibly soft. The mirrors, spacers between windows, and the rear diffuser. We have really high quality microfibers and even they swirl them up. Not as bad as what the dealership did to you but I was surprised how delicate it was.

Enjoy the ride!

It looks awesome…..

H&R Springs are notorious for having a very harsh ride, so I am surprised by your comment about ride being about the same.

Do you still feel that way? I am very concerned about the potential ride quality on these springs, but these guys are the only aftermarket option that I can find presently.

This is for my wife’s car and truly all I need is the aesthetics of closing wheel gap and stance.

*UPDATE*

Dealer took ownership and offered to resolve issue. Shit was undeniably all over the car.

They did not have a Paint Correction person, but offered:

1. To send car to their Body Shop and have it wet sanded to correct
2. To attempt to find a Paint Correction Detailer
3. To let me choose a Paint Correction shop of my own and get reimbursed.
4. Were willing to take the car back 3 days post delivery.

I chose option #3 as I had my new M340i Ceramic Coated last July by a shop that has a solid reputation and does great work.

Got the car back today and it is perfect, just the one deep scratch on the roof could not be resolved as that will actually need touch up paint. Talking to the detailing crew they were telling me how common it is for brand new cars to come to them after being mauled by dealership prep. They even see $400K Ferrari’s and other high end brands with molested paint jobs.

Much respect to how BMW Stepped up, even if I was forced to apply a little pressure to get this resolution.
