including leasing strategies as I had never done one before. All golden with the lessons learned, ridiculous APR via MSDs plus current MF at the time so just bought the car out vs a lease return. Love all the mods, etc. as one day I'll get there. However, pay it back in anyway I can on the 8-series and now G06 forum for my wife's 2024 LCI X5. It's amazing at how disinformation spreads on that forum vs here. The latest here is the need for a faraday box/pouch to eliminate replay attacks. Not needed whatsoever but the lore to do so continues. Same for a M car gets ECU, etc. caps lifted after the break-in service. All lore vs facts. 👍 Hope you eventually join the club. 👍 |

Sorry for the long delay. Snow, and then unexpected travel tied me up. Here are a few pictures of my wonderful new M850i. It's a 2021, with only 15k miles, and in virtually showroom condition. It also has one year and three weeks of the original warranty left.
Okay, I'm going to need some help. I have the pictures stored on my computer, in my photo section. I can find no way to provide them here. When I click on "insert image" it wants a url? I've never had this problem before in a forum. What do I need to do? |

- click Attach Image on upper right - click Add an Attachment - When you see your photo appear, you’ll need to swipe that whole popup-page down with your finger. Then you’ll see on the upper right it indicates your attachment is there. - then you can Post. I may have confused you more but hope this works for you.

TWO-BMW any tips after your search? I imagine it’s no different than searching for anything else.
I did this to find my 2020 M550. Searched high and low for a particular spec and got a great find and price. Always liked the 8GC. This week I got one (40i) as a loaner while my M550 is being serviced. I think M850GC will be my next car. I’ll likely be having the brakes done in the next couple months (or weeks depending on the report from this service) and tires shortly after. That kind of maintenance expense will keep me set on the current car for a while more. But I love driving this loaner. I didn’t know if I’d find anything that could replace all the 550 offers but the 8 might do it. I think the increased profile in styling and the sporty driving dynamic can offset the difference in the way the seats fit me and the trunk size. I’ve gotten used to the seating after a couple days and the kids’ seats fit surprisingly great in the back. Did I mention that I love how it drives and handles? Wife likes it a lot too. So, I’m sure my eye will be wandering and I’ll start doing research, now that the bug is in my ear. If you picked up on any patterns or trends for looking for these cars, I’d love to know. It will likely be even harder to find a particular spec than the 550 was. Congrats on your car and thanks for the thread. It’s helpful.

Congrats. It’s a stunner.
I’m a new owner too and yes - every minute in it and even just looking at it is a day-booster. Enjoy!!
