Two Words to describe: AWESOME DRIVE !!!

Bmw Fan M240i · 02-01-2018, 03:08 AM

Awesome drive!? You should also mention the awesome colour.

although I am biased. Congratulatons. I thought about the black grills but when I got mine I was happy with the silver but it looks more aggressive seeing yours with black. Did the dealer fit them? My dealer said they just pull the old ones out and most of the time break the clips, this seems unprofessional and kind of puts me off changing them.
I’m guessing you went for jet black wheels?
Any more pics?

Bmw Fan M240i · 02-01-2018, 03:10 AM

I also notice yours is missing the grey fins on the 2 lower air intakes, am I missing something? It is an m240i right?

I don't think the 2018 model has them

Fins are on European model.

Love the color. That's my next color. More pics, please.

Weeknd · 02-01-2018, 08:08 AM

How did u get the mirrors to be black?

Shovelman · 02-01-2018, 08:13 AM

My '17 Valencia Orange 230i came with the black grills also. Looks great.

Congrats

They are carbon fiber caps

I took my 228ix in for service and there was one just like yours in the show room. Awesome color. My heart was racing walking around it and my sales guy just happened to notice. I had to get out of there before I got myself in trouble. Serious, one gorgeous bimmer, good luck with it.

Silver grills are standard so did you request the black grills? I was under the impression all get delivered with silver grills and it’s the dealer that swaps them over...?

My Estoril had black grills. I don't know if it came that way as my dealer got it from another dealer in a swap.

Sportstick · 02-01-2018, 06:35 PM

Thought this shot might be a fun comparison (although mine is not MSport)....Orange almost always makes a great color, but interesting to see Sunset versus Valencia. Sunset has a reddish cast which goes perfectly with the name while Valencia looks more like something you'd squeeze to fill a glass of juice!

I had the chrome-surround grilles swapped out for the black as well.

It came with the original built of the car

Interesting.....I'm also very familiar with Valencia as the car I replaced this m240 with was a Z4 with hyper orange package. Orange is unique as it pops out as a mono color whereas the sunset orange seems to have a "bipolar" character if you know what I mean

“Bipolar”, eh? Planning the lithium carbonate mod?
