M550 pickup
I picked up my M550 last night. A few details:
Build Bluestone Grey 19" wheels Mocha Nappa Leather Fineline Ridge Wood Trim Driver's Assistance and Assistance Plus Packages Parking Assistance Package Heated Front Seats Gesture Control CarPlay Active Driving Asst. Order Tracking Order April 7 Allocation May 5 Entered Production May 23 Pain Shop June 6 Arrived at Port June 9 On KLine Drive Green Highway June 14 Arrived Brunswick GA June 28 Arrived at Dealer on 7/3 Picked up 7/5 Port Installs Shoutout to daveschroeder for listing parts numbers in his post on 6/13 Black Kidney Grills Black Finisher Trim Black Side Vents Carbon Fiber Rear View Mirrors So far I am 35 miles in but the car is wonderful. Very quiet interior. Non-intrusive HUD. Still learning iDrive which is much more advanced than the MMI system in my ancient (2008) Audi. Gonna get lost in this more than once The AC is working well. I keep it about 65 and the cabin is plenty cool at 2-3 bars. No dashboard popping yet. I park in a covered lot I have a nice straightaway on my way home from work. Hit the gas a bit tonight in comfort and the response was immediate. Did the same in sport and it made a great rumble. I was worried about the dual brown interior but my last car was black on black and I needed a change. Nothing against those who prefer that look! The interior works well to my eyes and most importantly, it was spouse approved. The seats are very comfortable and I can easily picture doing long drives with them Will provide a more full review after more miles but great initial experience. Pics below. |

Congrats, it's no wonder why I-Drive is more improved over your old Audi
You can do many cool things in your I-Drive Menu and one of the cool features of the system in general is a number array of individualization . You can choose M Sport Steering Wheel and combine it with Comfort Mode Tranny or do other things . I recommend you to download owners manual of your car and watch some interactive videos Happy Driving

Thanks to you both. I spent some quality time with the user's manual and have things set up quite nicely now.
The car is amazing. It has been a great few days and only the beginning! |

I apologize but I have not been in the F10 M5. New to the BMW family. I did try the standard sport seats on my first test drive in the new 540 and found them uncomfortable. So much so that I had back spasms after....maybe just getting old. The nappa leather comfort seats have been great. |

Got a 530e on order with the exact same color combo interior wood and mocha leather. Would love some more interior shot as well if you don't mind.
