Car looks fantastic thanks for posting the photo and your impressions. The rocks in the rear wheel brake guard is a common issue on the M2,M3,M4. It is an annoyance but not something that generally happens to me more than once every 10,000 miles or when I do a track day with sticky tires that pick everything up and launches it into the wheel wells. I wouldn't worry about it too much but it is a little scary the first time it happens.

Once that's done if you connect a CarPlay compatible iPhone via Bluetooth it will automatically prompt to enable it. Works brilliantly, wirelessly connects every time you get into the car |

Picked up my M40i this afternoon. The wait was well worth it. This car is amazing. The quality and craftsmanship are fantastic. The ride and acceleration are so smooth. And the cockpit is so quiet when the top is up. With the top down the cabin noise is minimal and carrying on a conversation is no problem.
Getting ready for an Easter gathering so didn't have a chance to drive it other than getting it home from the dealer. I will say that the cognac leather is beautiful and rich. It was definitely the right decision to compliment the black Sapphire metallic. |

After picking up my car yesterday I couldn't agree more. This car is gorgeous and like so many others have said the black sapphire metallic looks so much richer and classier in person. Plus I spend a lot of time in my car and I too am going to enjoy every minute of it. |

Speakers do indeed break in. Putting aside any mention of electrical changes; the suspension will loosen up. This means the speaker will sound slightly more "full" and "open" after break in. Differences vary across speakers though. I've heard drastic differences; or minimal differences after break in. It depends on the particular drivers.
I have my own break in procedure that will remain unsaid here, but 8 hours or so of moderate volume listening and you'll be broken in.
