M8 in Frozen Metallic Bluestone Individual

Hello, first post here. I've been keeping an eye on the forums regularly hoping I would see a preview with a similar configuration and thought maybe someone else was too. Plus I just wanted to show off my cool new ride

In truth I was a little on the fence with buying one originally for a few reasons. The main one was the interior options, at the price point it didn't give me that feeling of novelty I've come to expect when I pick up a new car. None of the options jumped out at me as a perfect complimentary color combo to my exterior choice. Black always looks nice but I wanted some sort of multi-tone I think, more small patches of accent color is probably what I was looking for, not sure. I also couldn't find _any_ frozen metallic bluestone at the time of ordering the car anywhere online and the dealer had no samples.

That said any remaining doubt was put to rest soon as I saw it. I am really happy with it. I'm coming from an m4 so the change in sound is absolutely awesome I think it resized some of the images, so here is the imgur link too:

Lovely great combo and agree it turned out better than I would have thought.

Very nice, enjoy!
Curious, dont the comp's get the honeycomb type wheels or is that an available option only for the comp?

Not 100% sure, there was only 3 wheels to choose from, not sure if you would consider the other two a honeycomb style or not? They are labeled as "Star-spoke", https://www.bmwusa.com/build-your-own.html#/studio/e3kqxegu/summary is a link to my cars build if that helps.

I just say your exact spec car at my dealership after my 1200. The exterior is amazing and caught my eye immediately

Congrats

For some reason it seems dealers are not ordering m8’s. Looks like factory orders. Seems to be exact spec cars at the dealerships

Yes, star spoke, one is all black and the other has a machined face, they look very nice (as do yours) but are apparently hard to clean due to all the tight openings especially for those not wanting to use harsh wheel cleaning sprays.

My dealer told me that there are not that many allocations for builds for 2020 left. They want to sell the ones on the ground. It made it difficult to order one a couple of weeks ago if you want specific colors or certain options. Sort of silly not to allow people to configure a $150K car although great if you find one that you like.

I tried to get the non comp wheels on a comp car. You can only get the black ones like the OPs.

Would love to see some pics of Frozen Bluestone outside.

Maybe its a noob question but are all M8 Comp wheels forged? I was told the style we have (star spoke) is but couldn't find anything one way or the other.

Not the first time dealer wouldn't know and/or provide wrong info...

The press releases state that the comp wheels are forged. Haven't been able to find an independent statement of that.

Congrats and well done. Ordered the exact spec with different wheels and four doors. Still waiting on the build to start production. It is an impressive car with all the special lights and textures inside.

Would like to see some shots from outside as well. The only pictures I was able to see of the frozen bluestone were from launch pics or bmw media which never seem to quite do the job. Love my frozen silver M6 so figured it would just be a bit darker.
