The car spec and ordering details can be checked in this thread, but here's a brief rundown of the main options:
- M Sports Package with 19" 351M wheels
- Sophisto Gray II with Hexagon Aluminum trims, Shadow Line roof bars and Black Shadow Line exterior trims
- Comfort seats, black dakota leather, black anthracite roof lining
- Comfort package
- Innovation package
- Surround View
- Panoramic sunroof
- Adaptive Drive
- Sports automatic gearbox
- TPMS
- Pro Navigation (new version)
- Multifunctional instrument display
- HiFi Professional
- Tinted windows (aft B-pillar)

After having the car, I drove home for about 400 km and since I don't want to exceed the recommended break-in limits (3,000 rpm and/or 150 km/h) the max speed I achieved was 200 km/h. The car is rock steady and a joy to ride. I have absolutely no remarks whatsoever to make at this point!

Here are a few mementos from the day. I am sorry if I don't have many pictures of the car, but I was by myself and wanted to have my hands on the car, not on the phone!

I promise to add a few more shots in the future.















Wait a minute, wait-a-minute!

Are you sure the max break in speed is 3000 rpm?

That sounds way too low. You risk getting a DLPIB ticket (driving like a pussy in a bimmer ) if you continue to limit at 3000 rpm.

Please, confirm!
