New gran coupe the BMW obsession continues

Hello Everyone
Just took delivery of my new to me G26 and all I can say is WOW! what a difference. I just sold my f36 and can not believe how much they improved this car over the f series it just does everything better handling, braking, accelerating, exterior and interior The only fault I can find is the hk sound I feel that f series sounded better than my current hk. looking for some suggestions for a drop I don't want to go to aggressive just to fill the wheel gap a bit.I had ACS on the f series and it made a world of difference even without adaptive. The current car has adaptive along with everything else except active cruise. Any suggestions would appreciated. Also any images of your car with wheels and a drop would be great.

Congrats! I felt the same about transitioning from my F33 and F36, such an amazing bump in luxury, performance, handling, connectivity, simply a great car, dare I say the greatest BMW I've ever owned.

I'm a big fan of the M-Sport badges on the fenders (that's how they ship everywhere except North America) and painted reflectors (gets rid of the orange and again, how they ship everywhere else).

Emblems are from BCS Tuning, painted reflectors from IND. Enjoy the new ride!

Both of my F22’s were my very least favorite of the many BMWs I’ve owned in just about every way. I hated my 1st F22 435 so much, I whored-up a 440 with every option I could get including merino leather thinking I’d like it more. I still hated it.

My humble G22 (430 -no msport) is right there in the top of my list just under my 1985 633-CSI of my all time favorites.

Hopefully you’ll enjoy going F to G as much as me. Many happy fun safe miles to you.

Beautiful color Tanzanite blue...
with 20" inch wheels and spacers would be even better

Thank you for the well wishes I owned a couple f series the f10 5 series was one of my favorite bmws aside from my E46 the handling with the active sway bar and a drop made the f10 amazing hopefully I can achieve that same feeling with this car. I am currently researching springs for this car

I love the tanzanite blue II color I use to have A f10 in carbon black which was my favorite color this is starting to over take it lol just the way the light changes it so dramatically. one minute its bright blue the next dark blue almost purple and at night it can be mistaken for black.

20 inch wheels maybe in order but I want to see how 19inch look with a drop first
