Sunset Orange M240i F23

I picked up the car 1 month ago, and I am absolutely loving it. I had the dealer install some M & Dinan parts, and I'm finally past the break-in period to fully test them out.

Love the Color.
Did you select the wheels when you ordered it or purchase them after?

The wheels came on the car, and were port installed. I love them. I bought the car 3 states away, did the paperwork electronically. I had never seen the wheels in person before buying, and I like them more than I thought I would.

I was hesitant to buy a car remotely, without visiting the dealership, but they had an offer hard to turn down. Msrp, with M wheels and pedals was $63k. They listed the car around $53 on their website, but applied any potential rebate along with their discounted price (previous bmw owner, military, etc). When I called up, I said I qualified for two rebates (2018 model discount and current student). They discounted those two rebates from the already rebated price. So, I purchased the car at around 22% off MSRP, somewhere around $48.5k pre fees/tax. Granted, it’s a 2018 and was purchased once ‘19s were out. I also negotiated discounts to Dinan (20%) and M perf (15%) parts and labor. I’ve modded cars in the past, and decided to stay under warranty as much as possible for this one. I can’t think of anything else to do at this time, other than a mild drop with springs and spacers.

I’ll update some more photos soon. Thanks for the comments.

Damn, 63k for a 2 Series. That must be a record. It's like 2k off a base M3! Regardless, did you do any doctoring on the photos? I've never seen Sunset Orange look so incredible.

The msrp included the $4k wheels/tires. I wouldn’t have opted for these wheels without the significant discount. I was able to get this highly optioned 2018 for less than a lightly optioned one, that was located closer.

The first image saturation was altered from the original image. The others were altered slightly less, and weren’t in direct sunlight. Sunset orange changes color pretty significantly depending on the lighting. It’s a “tasteful” orange color, imo. Not too too bright.
