About to Grab an m850...but so many questions
....But a few things first...
As I am trying to get a discount on a leftover 2019, Its likely I'll need to compromise on colors or options (I'd love an Orange Convertible but can't find one). How is the base sound system versus the B&W? In the convertible, will it matter? Is there a reason that the Gran Coupe isn't seeing significant discounts? Lease prices for 125k convertibles are less than 115k Gran Coupes. Why? I currently have an Audi S5 Sportback with a red leather interior and my wife HATES it. She calls it the douche-mobile. Think she throws me out if I pull that stunt again?!?!? The dealer I was at today had an M8 Orange Coupe on the floor. Too bad they won't price like the m850... |

Personally tested the stock H&K vs B&W with some high resolution FLAC master sources prior to placing my order and the B&W is hands down worth the money. As per mgod, the aesthetics alone may be worth the expense even if you are not an audiophile. Along with the carbon fiber roof and full leather in my 2020 M850i the B&W audio is golden for the added cost.

Love the feedback guys, thx. You've sold me on the B&W.
Now the bigger decision, Convertible (because I'd love it) or GC (because I often drive to kids too and from Sports. Tough call....I should be practical, but I don't really too. And lease programs on the convertible are far better. |

FWIW, my grandkids - 11 and 7 (and average/big for their age) - have no problem riding in the rear of my 2019 M850ix convertible, even finding space for their backpacks. And they love the embedded wi-fi signal for their iPads.
But...there are no cupholders back there (I bought an inexpensive plastic cupholder for them and it seems to suffice), and it is true that we have very little trunk space.

I think that comes down to leg vs upper body in the height quotient as I too am 6'6" and the Coupe fits me perfectly but never really considered the convertible. In fact I have significantly more headroom in the M850i than my previous sedan with a sun roof (which took away about 2").

That makes sense. I'm 5'7" (discounted by age in recent years from 5'8") and I tend to sit pretty close to the wheel. In fact, now that you mention it, I usually adjust the front passenger seat closer to the dash if I know the grandkids will be climbing in the back.

Agree with redhot47fla - small kids are fine in the rear of the Coupe - four doors a lot easier if you are in fact Uber Daddy.
