Ifly, did you not get the 20 inch wheel? I got my other two windows tinted along with the hood area. I am a happy camper now! I am just lazy to post up pics but will do it soon! Nice color though.. Definitely stands out! I've been driving it and you do get attention!

Congrats on the cars guys, love the car, don't miss the x5m. Drove to AC and was surprised at the power and handling of the car. I don't feel much of a power loss, the 8 speed is smooth also.

Had 20's on the 35i and it just rode too hard with those High Performance Summer RFT's. This one is a lot smoother, plus I have a spare set of 19's in the garage with snow tires.

Clear Bra and tint was supposed to happen today but the clear bra was not delivered!

Thanks, totally agree that the 8 speed is night and day from the 6 speed. Our 50i is getting better mpg's than our old 35i at the moment so go figure!

Ifly, did you get the Ecoguard option where it will put like a wax to protect the paint from the sun and leather? At first I said no but he sold it on me! LOL Also, where should I go to get my snow tires? Should I try Costco? I don't want discount tires, they gave me a bad experience! Advice is appreciated! Oh, you are parking yours on the street? I'm always in a hurry when I park anywhere just because I don't want anything happen to it. Isnt' that in Wash Park area sir?

I give all those packages a miss as a regular schedule of detailing should keep your vehicle in tip top condition.

in regards to the tires I always go with Tire Rack, good prices, fast shipping, great insurance and a lot of options with good reviews of performance.

It ends up on the street some of the time

It is Wash Park, good eye.

Did they indicate if it was waiting at the factory for other vehicles as part of the same shipment or maybe something was found during QC that required remediation.

Bummer I know but enjoy your vacation and look forward to the car upon your return. I just had the same situation, car turned up while on vacation.

Ha! A second Midnight Blue with 19" Rims and chrome trim. Would like to see a close up of the Seat with the exterior. I did consider Beige. Looks good. Glad we have two unique cars across in separate parts of the country (Big smile)
What MPG are you getting?

Yep, really shines with the different colours during the day! I'll post a pic later of the interior for you. Currently averaging 16mpg mostly in town after 160 miles. 35i used to get around 16.3 mpg mixed driving.

Sheesh... Mostly street driving in Brooklyn, and I think I am @ 9.4 MPG. If I get a little aggressive... it drops significantly. I think its ~$85 to fill up.

That seems pretty low unless your really launching the car or a lot of stop and go. Its about 100 yards between lights out there.

I don't notice the stares if there are any as I've been driving an X6 for nearly 3 years so it must have worn off, or I'm just not as good looking as I used to be.

They just delivered my 50i with the M Package to our local Car Audio shop Sat, can't wait to pick it up this Fri! (I'm out of town for the week, my installers sending me pics). I'll upload some as I get them - Carbon Black, Black Int, Brushed Al.

Installing blacked out front grills, spoiler (painted Carbon Black), Escort 9500ci Radar Detector (custom display installed in rearview mirror), JL Audio TW-5 13" sub with JL Audio HD750 amp in custom enclosure in hatch of rear cargo hold.

Dying to take possession!!

Thanks iFly! Other members uploads are the only thing that have gotten me through the production wait - thought I should reciprocate!
