I am not sure what you are pointing out Rob, reflection in the prior photo? Now you have me looking lol.

For 1/3 of the price of OEM, I am pleased

It's the gap between the edge of the hood and the grill. I guess if you pay less it might not be as form fitting as OEM.

Same ride

fmzip So excited, found the car with the exact options I wanted! Florida car with just 3700 miles on the clock

2019 M850i

Mineral White
Tarfuto/Black
Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System
Driving Assistance Professional Package
Driving Assistance Package
Glass Controls
Heat and Comfort Package
Shadowline Trim






I hope we have good luck with these rides. Like you i found a low mileage M850 about a 300 mile round trip from me with 2500 miles
on the clock. Unlike you I went to pick it up an drove it home from the dealer.
It appears the only difference between yours and mine is cognac interior and a CF roof for me.
I see you have done some mods....Do plan to tune it as well?

Congrats bud! Yes, Carbahn tune in the spring. I would have done it already but they haven't figured out how to keep the remote start feature working with the tune. Too cold to forgo the remote start here in CT!

What year is yours?

Like yours 2019. I picked it up a year ago and it now has 6k on the clock. She is my garage queen. I drive the other half's car (Infiniti G)around town more. Not because I like driving it more, it's parked behind the BMW. Funny thing is I had a BMW650 (F213) MY 213 Traded for the 850 and the dealer service guy would tell me to drive (650)the car more.....it had 23k on the clock Jan '22. But, I love this
850 it's a step up from the 650.

Lol, I'm following your choices

BMW> Audi> BMW

Though I'm back in an E46, 2004 M3 35K miles

It seems "lacking" compared to that 8 series! I have to shift it myself for goodness sake.

I love the quad exhaust look of the rear. Read your earlier comments that it CAN be used with the stock diffuser and everything except the square metal trim that's in the back needs to be removed correct?

Then the tips themselves, do they involve cutting off of the stock tips and then welding on the quad one? If so, that's what I am a bit reluctant to do. Not a big fan of cutting and welding parts on vehicles of this caliber (have done on others).

That's correct, the trim needs to be removed and the tips cut off. They could easily be welded back on if you wanted to go back to stock.

Here's a few more pics that I took today

coupe vs gran coupe

That car is what I wanted during my first three weeks of shopping, but in the end, practicality took hold and I ended up with a grand coupe. I just felt I needed some semblance of a backseat, and every time I saw Ford Mustang I thought it was an M850i coupe.
