Just saw this on Instagram... someone has taken delivery and driven to Hilton Head Islsnd, SC for the BMW CCA Oktoberfest.

Given that it's SC, an insider?

Can’t the dealer get in trouble for that?

If they start posting impressions on YouTube BMW will not be happy.

Btw I found this post on the G82 board where the owner painted the lower front and side “black” areas. ESP the skate board black rockers on the sides like are on the new M240i.

I think it looks way better.

Doubtful, registered Cali tag. If it was someone from BMW SC it would have a South Carolina manufacture tag.

Yep… I cannot recall the implications, but it used to be fairly trivial.

Edit: Attached a pic of the South Carolina manufacture tag on a new M4 convertible in HHI @ the BMW CCA Oktoberfest.

Absolute worst part of the car along with the gaudy rear diffuser and black truck style side skirts.

The G87 is going to have to be one hell of a car to have me get over a lot of things on this iteration of the two.

There are currently only 41 2022 M240s at BMW Centers in the country. There are 385 Centers. It certainly sounds as though not everyone is going to have one come launch day.

The 230 rear diffuser is so much better and real exhaust tips.

Still have to look at those lights though.

I miss the days when BMW still made attractive cars that were enjoyable to drive.
