Wait, so it's the same as this color? If so, that looks awesome.

I do love a nice green car. I think it looks great, but I'm not the one thinking of buying it. Latham is, what, about a 3 hr drive for you? Seems worth going to check it out.

I asssume you already ran the VIN: https://www.mdecoder.com/decode/wba13bk08mcf34923

Well, with this and your Carmine Boxster, you would be ready for the Christmas season.

That said, I don’t hate the green.

LOL

My wife actually likes it. I am traveling for business tomorrow so it would need to still be available this weekend for it to even have a chance to turn into something.

Personally, I'd still prefer a Tanzanite car, but this is unique enough to consider it.

As much as I'd never willing want to buy a car with ivory interior, I must say that all the pictures of used ones I've seen show the interior in surprisingly great shape. It seems to be holding up remarkably well.

I like that green. Plus bonus points for non black wheels (those aren't my favorite but idk what other wheel options were available on those)

You would not like my car ... it is a 2021 with the white exterior which you don't like with the Ivory white interior ... I love it and the Ivory white interior at a little over 2 1/2 yrs old looks perfect, our other 2 BMW's have the light interior as well but in the X3 and M340 it is called Oyster and is slightly less white and they look perfect ... I custom ordered the M550 when I got it and have to tell you it is such a great car. My miles I think are a bit low at 13k

BTW I can't believe the price at almost $64k with a car with 28k miles

I bought mine off lease at 2 yrs old with a little under 11k miles for a lot less then that.

I have no issues with white cars. I had one, I have one, and I strongly considered the BGTS in white for a long time. I also think that the front end of the M550i looks great in white. But it is a larger car and that is a lot of white and we have the GTI, so, I rather not get it in white.

For what it's worth, the ivory interior is great, I just hate the idea of maintaining it, hence my surprise as to how well they hold up.

I think your car is a great Florida spec.

As far as the cost, well, yeah, cars are expensive nowadays. Also, note that a loaded G30 M550i could reach $90k in MY2023. That green car with the Individual paint, even in 2021 must have been around $80k.

I don't need the car and winter is around the corner so at this point, unless the perfect car, the perfect deal, or a unicorn shows up, I'm better off in vulture mode through the winter. Let the next gen come in and have them discount the G30's.
