She's Home

Finally had a chance to take a few pics, picked her up last week. Luv the non run flat Pilots that come with the cooling HP tire Pkg Why no auto dim psngr mirror? Also think the rear tires look a bit thin for such a beefy rear end. Drives like a dream.
Happy new year!

Congrats! Looks great in white with the CF roof. many happy miles
Agree on the wheels but I think 12/15mm spacers will improve the look quite a bit. Best to lower the car a bit...

Happy New Year!

Thanks very much. Only downside, the morning after we drove her home we found two small dings on passenger side, right on the upper cutline about a foot apart. This occurred after we left the car at the dealership (other coast) for a week and when we picked it up we didn't notice them in the delivery area because the blue/white lighting mixed with the pearl paint hid them from the human eye. Once on this coast dealer asked me to try PDR which was able to get about 90% of the dents out, but two small spots of clear came off as apparently the dents cracked the clear and the glue did the rest. The dealer has the 850's parked way too close together at the location where ours was and they were outside not covered. In addition, when we had our paint correction guy come to inspect the dent removal, he checked the depth of the paint and on the body areas checked all #'s were above 4's except for several spots on the carbon fiber roof which were 1.2-1.5 (yikes) and right next to 4's (strange), he also found that the clear on the CF roof has light etching which apparently came from the dealership being under construction and a mix of hot florida sun/rain. Good news is the etching can only be seen under very intense lighting mostly at 3000k and the surface is smooth to the touch. We obviously expressed our dissatisfaction to the dealer and we are discussing a possible replacement but we await to see if they truly do what's right, and I will report back. Even though the car has some cosmetic issues it is one of the best driving and performing 850's I've driven thus far, the ride on the non runflat Pilots is sublime and the engine pulls with more urgency than the 4 others we tested. We (wifey and I) also really like the killer color/wheel combo.

Appreciate your thoughts.

Ahhh yes. The simple white on black, PERFECT Stormtrooper Sport GT.
Very Nice pickup Sir.
I personally love the M850i for what it is compared to the M8, so much simpler, and still just enough power.
Enjoy it in good health.

Love the white. My M6 was brilliant white metallic and as much as I love the Marina Bay blue I am a bit remorseful I didnt plunk down the $5k and get BMW Individual Brilliant White again.

Maybe next time...

Enjoy

Thanks, we are potentially being offered another vehicle due to the aforementioned damage above but the mw/b color combo is hard to beat and it will not be easy to let it go.
