Hello everyone,
though not new around bimmerpost forums, I am new here on THE M8/8 Series forum and I have been following and reading all of your experiences and opinions regardless of the exact model in question rather about THE8 as a whole. Sure, there are MANY cool and great things to enjoy about these cars and others less enjoyable such as the issues reported by various users about malfunctions (AC / Sound glitches, updates screwing up things and so on.).
I have been reading and posting even though I took possession of my Sunset Orange baby only today 18.09.2020 at 10.00h. And it feels like a dream come true! Ever since I bought my F06 650i GC (just 2 years ago), I have been waiting for this moment so much that I probably did not enjoy the 650i to the fullest.
First things first, some basic facts:
BMW M850i G15 MY 2019 - production 03/2019
Exterior C1X Sunset Orange metallic
Interior BMW Extended Individual leather black
I got the car with 8500 km and although I could have had 31% discount on a brand to build new MY M850i, I decided that even at such a discounted price it was still too much money. The car is mint conditions though it will need a wax job and later a ceramic nanotech coating to make it shine and look as good as new.
Enough said now, I want to share a few pics, along with a short list of planned retrofits/upgrades, a few of which already performed. The below list is not yet complete but it's what I can think of right now and for the near future. Of course your suggestions are valued and more than welcome.
