Yes. My first vehicle without grey leather since 1989. I got Sensatec because I hate the way these leather seats are stitched at the top. Happy with my choice.

Is there any truth to the rumor that you are Luke Skywalker's sister and Darth Vader is your father? 😉

Agreed! Glad I got red calipers.

I'm still on the fence. I had 3 black BMWs and they are showroom great but a pain to keep clean. Here's my retired f80 YMB. Best ar I ever owned. Should have kept it. Oh well...

Yas Marina Blue is my all time favorite BMW color!

That being said, I love my Misano Blue!

It is a great color and you will love it!

What interior color are you selecting? Are you staying with the ivory leather?

Ivory. I really like my interiors to have dual tone contrast. All black interior on Misano looks super sharp from the outside, it's a bit dull to me from the inside. Almost got one just like that from Braman in Miami but they wanted 4k over MSRP, lol.

You will have a twin to my baby. I am frequently seen in Aventura, Hallandale Beach, Hollywood and Ft. Lauderdale so if you see this license plate make sure to honk your horn.

I'll be also ordering IND painted front reflectors, wheel spacers and black z4 m40i emblem.

Would you consider the 50th anniversary classic "BMW Motorsport" emblem which would look awesome on the Misano Blue color?

IM2C · 01-26-2022, 02:49 AM

It looks great! Is that a factory option?

Thanks; no wrong answers here but I thought the shadowline + the black rims was just too much black without enough contrast.....I could have been convinced to go shadowline (though I like the cerium grills) but I was adament about the cerium rims.

BEAR-AvHistory · 01-26-2022, 11:22 AM

I like some contrast so my black has the Cerium trim & Orbit Gray wheels.

Westside Guy · 01-26-2022, 11:24 AM

If I had a black convertible my salt and pepper hair would provide the contrast.

I believe that this will be offered for only certain series and for a limited time period. Perhaps others can give a better answer.

Maybe future accessories:

We reached out to BMW of North America to ask about the option to separately purchase those new roundels. “We expect the anniversary emblems to also be available as an accessory/part item,” a spokesperson told us.

It is interesting that the BMW blog article says, "The logo will be optionally available on BMW M performance models (M340i, M440i, X3 M40i, X4 M40i)."
Does that mean that the M40i version of the Z4 doesn't rate? 🤬

Limited production plight?
