Well, just shy of 3 months from when I placed my order, my baby was finally delivered to me this afternoon. Hats off to my dealer (Crown Richmond BMW - Midlothian), they made the process semi-quick and very painless. Only one tiny hiccup, I noticed when I got home I didn't have my rear floor mats....no big deal, they'll find em and get to me this weekend.

Nice! The darker mirror covers on the '20 really key in nicely with your AW & black combo. You're going to love that car! I slogged mine up to MI today in the rain, traffic, Semis, bad roads...still loved it. Tons of smooth power, super planted, comfortable. If there's more bang for the buck out there, I don't know where it is.

Congrats! It’s such a fun car to drive - enjoy your drive! I too thought they forgot my rear floor mats, but couple weeks ago, found them on a lower shelf in the garage where I forgot I had put them! Anyway, since I recently ordered a set of the M style floor mats, I was like, oh well...

I’m looking into getting a set of bumper scratch plates for my M Sport Pkg front bumpers as I just did a rash from a concrete parking stop - looking at the web page for Scrape Armour. Those front bumpers are just barely clearing 3½ inches and some of the concrete curbs and stops are slightly taller.

Thanks Lynx! When making my final color decision, it came down to AW and your EB - after seeing your pics and mine in person, it seems we couldn't go wrong with either choice! I can't wait for some long journeys of my own in my 240.....no matter the weather, roads or traffic. I'll definitely give more ownership updates as the months wear on.

Thanks!!

Yes, the front lip has me concerned when I approach ANY speed bump or inclined driveway. I watched my mother in law cringe as I was pulling into their driveway last night (they have an M550 and sweat it every time they back out or pull in). Luckily I was coming in at the right angle and no contact was made w their exposed aggregate....but it might just be a matter of time before my first scuff.

Very nice. I have had several BMWs with the AW and black interior combination, including my recent M235i. Always a great combination.

The front lip is very vulnerable. Some scrapes are almost inevitable.

I took delivery of my 2020 M240i in May and my rear floor mats were missing as well. The dealer here quickly remedied that situation. The M240i is a nice upgrade over the M235i, which was probably the best car I've owned out of many. My M240i now has the LSD installed and that's been an incredible upgrade -- a big difference even in normal driving.

We lived in Bon Air years ago.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm a sucker for white cars....just so darn easy to keep clean. Every time I stray away (ie my black S3), after about a year I'm ready to come back. During the summer, I would pull out canopies and wash/dry my car under them - I'd even have to move them slightly as the sun angle would change during my process. All my neighbors think I'm crazy....

Question, how much did the LSD cost you (including installation)? Reading such glowing reviews of how it transforms your 2er has me extremely interested.

Small world! Bon Air is still the hippest place to live on the south side of Richmond - anyone from the other side of the riva wouldn't dare venture all the way out to Midlothian (total suburbs!)....but they could tolerate Bon Air.

Thanks!! The CF spoiler has to be my favorite touch....and the jet black rims are a close second!

Ha! Those are my 3rd favorite - and definitely BMW's smartest move of the '20's....not sure what they were thinking w the grey ones :

[mattc1176]

Congrats! I have almost the same exact build except I went Mineral White.

Total stormtrooper...gotta love it! Would so love to see our two side by side

[paposalsa]

Looks like ii does not have that big of a gap between the fender and the back tires ...

Congrats! Car looks fantastic. Thanks for posting picks as I plan on adding the CF rear spoiler without the lower diffuser and have been wondering how it would look. I like the darkened headlights and tails that were added in 20'.

I have the exact same color combo and out of all the BMW's I've had this one gets the most comments hands down.

I remember seeing pics of yours right after purchase - I might have pulled them up 50 times while I was waiting for my delivery

Here's another pic of just the spoiler for you....I love the look of it!

Congratulations beautiful car enjoy

I was able to get the same jet black rims on mine, but the rear spoiler and black front grill were not options on the configurator back in the dark ages when i ordered mine

and my side mirrors are dark grey

Lol! That's awesome!! I know what you mean. I can't tell you how many pics of AW M240's I looked at waiting for mine to come in. Spoiler looks mint. It gives it a nice aggressive look form the back. Cars looks perfect. Now comes the hard part...getting through break in!

[jules_78th]

Nice. Looks like they took out the small side M badge.

I have a 2019 F23. I changed out the front grill to matte black, Matte black m2 rear spoiler and M2 Matte Black side view mirror and a few more (get clear or color side markers, looks nice) mods. Now I know how my car looks as a coupe. Also have M side skirts. that's the only thing I regret. Its way to small to be noticeable and it was the priciest. Should have just gotten the M diffuser.

Here's an album of my F23.

I don't think US spec 2-series ever had the side M badge.

HA!.....and now I know what my ride looks like as a vert! I do love the color side markers - definitely a cleaner look. That'll be a must/easy mod for me.

Love your carseats back there -- where there's a will, there's a way!
