For MY22 only Canada received the M side badge in North America.

They also received the ///M striped seat belts. If those come to the US with MY23 it may sound poseurish, but that is about the only thing I will be jealous about.

Sales guy did say there's someone ahead of me waiting for a 240 xdrive allocation, so there's a chance they would be ahead of me if they would want an rwd instead
That is exciting, congrats on the order !!

Amen to all the brothers wishing for a return to normalcy of providing decent polished silver options, as well as bronze. This pure black attack trend has to be thwarted at some point.

BMW has some of the best OEM wheel designs in the business, but they lose a lot of their potency when painted black because all you see is a big bulbous black glob.

Gold, bronze and anthracite options would be good welcome additions in my opinion.

The gold 763’s are a dream I still may do at some point.

This is a CS but still hock silver.

Btw I searched and can’t find a review of the rwd M240i. Has to be soon with orders available.

Very noice!

If the G87 doesn't pan out for you those wheels would be a great mod in my opinion.

Curious also when the reviews of the RWD M240i will be posted on-line.

From what I've read, automotive journalists have already had access to the car but are embargoed from publishing their reviews until the Goodwood reveal toward the end of the month.

They are definitely blingy, but I do like the wheels on my 4. Goes with the overall badass stance of the car.

All very unlike my personality, but, there you go.

They look like a PITA to clean. Bet you have a hard time getting your finger scabs to fully heal.
