It was actually O'Reilly's but I was there buying an add a fuse to tap the fuse box on my X3 to install my radar detector. I really do not enjoy taking my car apart but it was not a super hateful process. And somehow I just don't even see those side reflectors so I'm not offended by them. And, I'm betting my local auto parts store in Dayton Ohio doesn't sell specific parts for an M8. 🙂

Yes I know, it was clearly tongue in cheek... IND is your place for your unique paint.

Now I have marked mine out with black vinyl but didnt have a bright blue car (M wise)... (M3 and others)

Cheap AF though and possibly off sets your black parts:



And my R8 with carbon parts

Not a perfect fix but good enough IMHO

I was actually just posting that what's up with this florin dude with 3 posts that is liking every post in the history of the internet? He started this morning. He's sure helping out my reputation award points, whatever those do.

I even got a like from him on this post... He's obviously not actually reading any of the posts just going down and liking all of them. Odd.

Here’s a sneak interior pic. This is the new interior for 2023 M8 named Black Full Merino Leather with Sakhir Orange Alcantara Combination. IMO a must!

It’s the only interior I know that features full Alcantara headliner, including passenger dash, glove compartments.

Extremely happy with how my build turned out. 😍

Heck yeah brother! I went with with the same. Every time I get in the car, I take big whiff of the interior. It just smells so good. I was in love with the GLE Coupe interior before I gave it to my wife, but I’m loving M8C!

Mercedes had little interior color choices. Plus Mercedes doesn’t use actual Alcântara anymore. It’s some microfiber imitation. I have the micro fiber headliner in the GLE Coupe. It looks nice, but not as nice as it is in the M8C.

As much as that screen is also just kinda stuck there its a more natural looking integration than BMW did with iDrive 8.

Yeah I actually like the way Mercedes did it when they first introduced it on the S Class even before MBUX.

Once MBUX was first released and they updated the screens to other trims, I think it looks best on the GLE. It blends really nicely. I hate the look of ID8 screens and happy my M8C doesn’t have them. On the other hand, the GLE Coupe interior is a nice place to be. Very impressed with the vehicle. Inside and out.

Yeah- same thing I do. I’m trying not to pick up any food to go in the M8GC to preserve the smell.

I was a huge AMG guy for the past 8-10 years til I had a baby and switched to M3 and now M8GC. I can def say the M8GC is my favorite car out of all of them- closely followed by GTS AMG.
