My M850i Sunset Orange mistress baby – pictures and planned retrofits
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. Planned Upgrades and retrofits • Rear debadged (done today) - see last 2 pics • Fitted luggage compartment mat (done today) • Rear bumper trim over diffusor painted in high glossy black shadowline (done prior to delivery) - see last 2 pics • Individual option high-gloss Shadow-Line(S7M9A) complete retrofit – grill front, trims air duct side panels left & right, trim exhaust tail pipe left & right • BMW LED door projectors • BMW luggage compartment light LED • M Performance brake rotors • 21" wheels (still don't know which ones though) • Tuning Stage 1 JD Performance (700-720 ps / 900-950 NM) • Nanotech ceramic paint coating C.Quartz Finest Reserve Last edited by FBMWWINS; 09-29-2020 at 03:29 PM.. |

Very nice, and super shiny, congrats. I see you have Michelin Pilot's, couldn't tell, are they the non-runflats, and if so did you get the HP cooling and tire pkg?
I luv how the euro cars get the //M fender badges, may put those on mine, but on the black side vents where the M8's have them.

Absolutely gorgeous and truth be told Sunset Orange was my initial color choice! I just couldn't see one in person prior to placing my order and when I did I had fallen in love with the Fiona Red/Black interior which would clash with Sunset Orange. It appears you have the carbon fiber exterior package and an overall black rear diffuser. My only angst on my build is I did not go with the carbon fiber package and ended up with a greyish lower bumper/diffuser which is asinine for the 8-series.
Enjoy the drive as you are going to love it!!! |

WOW! Beautiful!! Love the orange!
Don't worry about the haters...from what I have seen/read, most of them have spent little to no time in the 8/M8. While it may have some quirks, the benefits far outweigh them. Welcome and enjoy your ride!! Dave |

I do not know about the extra cooling package (it's not in the specs at least and could not find it while doing a simulation build in BMW configurator either). This car came with NON-runflat tyres and specifically with the following options: 1N0 20" LM-Räder Y-Speiche 728 M Jetblack / Sportreifen, MB This means sports tires without runflat properties which automatically brings: S2VCA Tyre repair set And yes it has the Michelin Pilot's tires which I believe are automatic on this model when you select wheels with sports tires I also like the M fender badges (I know not everyone is a fan of them) and I will leave them on for now. |

Thanks Wolf. Yes there will be opprtunities. Although 30% of German Autobahnen do have a speed limit of 120 km/h some and 130 km/h others and as it often happens I find myself often on those! Rightly so because some of those trajects are dangerous and very busy at all hours so in order to reduce risks and accidents as a whole, they limited them.

Indeed you are right and perfection does not exist else it would be boring. Indeed I will enjoy the ride as much as possible. I am AMAZED at how this car drives and I feel like it's flying even when driving in comfort mode. The ride quality is impressive for me thus far and for now I love everything about it. |

The Individual option high-gloss Shadow-Line (S7M9A) retrofit will be performed very soon. I have the appointment at a German BMW dealer at the end of this month. Yes, that includes the complete package - black front grill, trims air duct side panels left & right and the trim exhaust tail pipe left & right. |

Cooling and High Performance Tire Package +$1,850 20" M V-spoke jet black wheels, style 728M with high performance non run-flat tires But if you simulate an M850i build through the BMW Germany configurator and choose those exact same wheels (NON-runflat), you will not get that hint about the tire & cooling package. It appears to be just for the US. Yes it would be nice to have the powerful cooling fan and an engine oil cooler. |

Yes there are some differences between US and Euro models and that is certainly one of them (Tire & Cooling package). And probably there are others if you compare the configurators in details. |
