My M440i Sapphire Black Delivered

firedown31 · 10-28-2020, 04:09 PM

Good old fake exhaust tips on a $60k+ car

GuyOh · 10-28-2020, 04:35 PM

Is there no option for a fully blacked out front grill?

Is that BMW's new 4x4?

TEGRITY · 10-28-2020, 05:00 PM

not my cup of tea but congrats, good choice with black colour and those m440i wheels look great!

cfm56d7b · 10-28-2020, 05:03 PM

Congratulations! Enjoy it.

PS. Nice choice of calipers. Sharp!

Hate BMW is purposely making the non-laser lights ugly

ApexBimm · 10-28-2020, 05:56 PM

All the feedback, excellent. A well designed car throughout.

what are your thoughts on the car? can you give us a little review?

Ill get a full review up... Smooth acceleration and very quick. Different than a M340i for sure. Feels no larger than a M340i, but ridged/ firmer and a bit more coercion to take it where intended with aggressive driving. Great driving feel overall, luxury grand touring vibes but plenty of sports car attributes.

Design is subjective. Looks are great overall, subtle aggression but has cues. Same way my M5 does. Understated.

Nothing major powertrain wise. Suspension, wheels and tires, both for aesthetics and performance. Stock setup now looks great. Need wheel gap to be gone.

Easy "fix"

2 questions.. Are you in the US? And does the exhaust pop and crackle in sport-plus mode?

US and the exhaust does NOT right now. lol. Need the packing to break in I suppose.

Looks more aggressive with the laser lights. These are not their best and brightest but good looking and will do.

cheezsandwiches · 10-28-2020, 05:57 PM

Congrats!

Although I still feel like the vehicle looks like mish mash parts. It's missing whatever made a bmw look sporty and classy.

boneca · 10-28-2020, 06:21 PM

congrats!
looks pretty good in black and with no front plate!

An Enthusiast is one who is enthusiastic about something and attempts to share that enthusiasm with others! Some by joining and participating in specialized forums of like minded individuals.

A Troll on the other hand, is one who continually engages in forum threads in an effort to interfere with the enjoyment of enthusiasts by constantly spamming their distaste and hatred for the same something.

You just had to come into this thread to piss on the OP's pride and joy of sharing their new ride.

AR_Motorwerkz · 10-28-2020, 06:32 PM

Tbh black is the best color for the G22 and G82! She sounds great too

Ikester19 · 10-28-2020, 06:36 PM

^ Mat Watson tested it at 3.8 to 60. Very capable car.

rwemersonrw · 10-28-2020, 07:41 PM

Looks good don't ruin it with a front plate haha

kmouze · 10-28-2020, 09:00 PM

Congrats! Will sure to break a few necks! Including mine.

CPTM3 · 10-28-2020, 09:35 PM

Never been a fan of the fake exhaust port. Just give it a nice exhaust tip and let's see them. Not the weird hole and some ugly down-turned pipe showing behind it. Car looks good in black though

Pretty sure bumper molded exhaust tips are done to prevent exhaust damage when cars get rear ended, makes for a cheaper easier repair. That and I'm sure there's some manufacturer savings in there too.... Lamborghini do it for the Huracan... I think it does look clean but a little cheesey too.. it's easily remedied if desired..

Audio Fan · 10-28-2020, 10:45 PM

Looks very sweet. Congrats. I can't wait to see one in person. Ignore the haters. To hit a thread like this shows serious character flaws. I don't get it.

hittheapex · 10-29-2020, 01:32 AM

Congrats on your purchase! Can't wait to see future updates about it
