I wonder if TV will show up as available on Individual eventually for other cars. I could have a giant barney X7!

May 24, 2022 is the official anniversary date, but they intend to celebrate it for nearly a full calendar year. Gotta milk it for all it is worth! M = More Money…

Some models have a camera embedded in the front roundel. So not sure how you would deal with that. I like them. I actually ticked that box when I briefly had a GC on order.

The new 50 year badges have been pulled from the build your own site so I don't know whether they will still be a part of my build or not. I guess I'll know for sure later on at some point.

Not sure if that has to do with a supply issue for the badges themselves or not.

NBD if I have to humble myself and take the same old played out traditional badges.

LOL. That’s what I have on my BLACK car. Play the hand you’re dealt.

My next car will be a convertible again, when I am done with pet/teen duty. And I will order that one to spec.

Current car will do nicely until then.

How about the CSL???

I can see all the M4 boys already ponying up for the CSL Grill, front splitter, carbon truck lid and head and tail lights. BMW makes a mint second hand on that stuff and is why they do it.

I’ve completely lost interest in all BMWs. It’s official now.

If I want an M with an automatic — I guess I’m biased toward AMG now if I’m stuck with an automatic.

And to me, M now means sterile and heavy.

I am not to far behind you.

A former counterpart at BMW recently stated, “BMW is no longer a niche manufacture and if you want that from a German manufacture then you must go to Porsche.” 100% true…

I recently took the E39, ‘03 540 6 speed M Sport in for an annual oil service. You would of thought it was a one of one. The techs were drooling… One even said I absolutely love this thing! None of them go gaga for the new models and haven’t for a while.
