However, the carbon fiber is NO question better on ALL the 8s series. I've seen without and mine with it. The carbon fiber all around (mirrors, diffusers, etc) looks way better on every color in the rainbow from black to blue to red and even white. I think it's not even a question about the carbon fiber looks. |

In hindsight I'm glad I got both. I'm not sure how much time or money it would cost for aftermarket; however, I know the carbon fiber is now $4k so it went up and I think it's the same package. |

Wow, totally disappointed as pics from a 2019 M850i for Car and Driver's review did not have the grey rear bumper lower trim on the Sunset Orange and carbon fiber package. Perhaps a demo spec'd vehicle vs. real world production models.

Thanks as much appreciated. That said it seals the deal on the $4100 exterior carbon package not removing what at least in my opinion is an unexplained grey color for the rear bumper diffuser, etc. Common sense dictates black as that will go with literally all exterior colors. If I end up buying out the M850i lease as per my expectation I'll pull the trigger on the AC Schnitzer exhaust and diffuser to erase BMW's faux pas.

11k
I could spend 11k, but the question is - is it worth it??
hmm..... would you drop 11k into a 2019 m850i ? or save the cash for a 2021 m8c. ...... |

I'm not really interested in the side skirts nor the spoiler (especially at those prices). The carbon fiber front lip is interesting as it looks nice (assuming the pics which include the website logo on it are just for the catalog). However, something tells me with it in place every little faux pas with a parking bumper may be a kick in the ass vs with the stock rubber more so of a "oh shit did that again?" as really no damage of any attributable value. Two years from now I'll be making the decision to either buy out the M850i lease which is the current intention, get a smoking deal on a M8C lease return CPO or to my wife's chagrin fall back and punt with my last automobile hurrah in the way of a Lambo. Yes, that is a wide range of opportunities and current state of my portfolio thanks to COVID-19 indicates I may be sticking with the M850i or CPO. |

Thanks for your discussion of this. I had a similar issue as I was hoping to order a 2020 850 GC with 760 Shadowline trim. Despite the country being flooded with examples of similar builds on the lots, my dealer could not get the factory to accept a special order with shadowline trim unless, I also ordered the "cooling package" with black wheels. It kept changing the build to 346 - Chromeline trim.
This is not the case with the 840 - which allows you to get shadowline with various wheel options. The dealership was trying to work with BMW directly, but not having much luck given the factory shutdown. in the end, i found an 850 gc that was 99% of what i wanted on a lot with the shadowline trim. I don't get BMW doing this, but either way, the car is beautiful . |

Enjoy the M850i GC and stay safe (aka social distancing, etc.). To that point ironically being the sole driver in an absolutely amazing ride meets the social distancing requirements. |

is the cooling package something new or exclusive to the coupe or gran coupe? my 2019 bmw m850i doesn't even have that as an option choice.
the only options over 3k were the carbon fiber and B&W stereo system. For $500 neck warmers were a must have. there were no other options for a 2019 m850i that I can recall. |

Thanks - I should have read hour post (11) a bit more closely. However, even after reviewing, I still am a little confused. I know you replaced a number of trim items (mirrors, grill, rear diffuser, etc). Did you also replace the window trim? When your car arrived from the factory, was the trim around the windows shadow line, cerium, or chrome? Next question - are you saying that you can still order 850 with shadow line by just ordering the default cerium 20" wheels (without ordering the "cooling package")? That's the point my dealer couldn't work out. He kept getting "chrome line" package on any build unless he did the cooling package (or black wheels). As an aside - the configurator allows you to build an 850 with the default 20" cerium and shadow line, but if you change the wheels it goes to chrome line trim, and then it will not allow you to change it back even if you re-select the 20" cerium wheels. very strange. |

If I add the 20" black 728M with run flats (1N1) the trim stays the same. If I then switch to the 20" black 728M with non-run flats then the configurator forces the addition of the cooling package and the trim indeed becomes full Shadowline (grill, kidneys, etc.) if I switched back to the 1N1's it would notify it was dropping the cooling package and then render with cerium for the grill, kidneys, etc. So the mystery is whether the configurator is broken or the pricing guide is guide is incorrect. Granted the pricing guide language is different for the 1N1 vs the 1N7 (my rim of choice as I originally wanted Chromeline on my build). For 1N1 it states "1N1 requires ordering ZM9" and ZM9 is Shadowline. In contrast for 1N7 it states "1N7 will add 346 to the order" and 346 is Chromeline. I honestly missed this difference back when I originally posted #11 on the thread. Well, here is the conundrum, i.e., ZM9 and 346 are no longer individual options like they were on the 2019s. When I originally built dozens of versions of a 2019 M850i Coupe going through various exterior and interior choices I could select either trim accordingly, i.e., Chromeline and the 1N7 wheels or Shadowline and the 1N1 wheels. It would not allow you to select Shadowline with the 1N7 whatsoever but never tried the reverse as black wheels with Chromeline would not make sense. So here we are with the 2020 models without the actual 346 or ZM9 as individually electable options. Rather everything now ties to the wheels of choice. It appears to me BMW has another SNAFU on their hands similar to the original 2020 issue with the ZDX vs ZDA driving assistance packages on the configurator. For the 1N1 wheels how do you add ZM9 as required when it is not an electable option? If you chose to take the cooling package (ZTK) but wanted runflats in the way of 1N1 vs 1N0 you cannot do that either. A conspiracy theorist would likely state BMW has made Shadowline non-achievable on a 2020 M850i/M850iGC without the up sell of the cooling package. Or in my case taking the default cerium wheels and utilizing their OEM M Performance parts. Either way driving up the cost. Considering to this date (I just checked) none of the parts for my cerium eradication program are listed in their online catalog I have no clue to the cost (they were all $0 on my invoice) nor will any other perspective buyer. So how does one compare the difference if interested in Shadowline but not tracking the car in which the cooling package would be the no brainer? |

My guess is BMW figured nobody would want to track a 2019 M850i convertible as that is truly what the package is designed for vs getting Shadowline trim. Just checked and still not offered on the 2020 M850i convertibles as well. So the logic in Germany must be that if you want to track a convertible it's time to step up to a M8 or M8C convertible.
