Finally picked up my M40i yesterday - all went well! Dealership was great they owned the 4.9 APR with BMWFS as they locked it in 3 months ago when I ordered it!! Was so nice to hear that!!! Also got a voucher to BMW performance center 🤭😲😲 super happy!!! Also the blue stitching on seats came out very well matching well with alpine white and blue break calipers… going with 18 inch helped to get Michelins instead of the continentals coming with 19s now!!! Very very happy!!! Below are some pictures..

Very nice! I haven't seen a color that didn't look good on the Z4. Maybe it's just the car. I would have preferred the 18" wheels, but I bought mine CPO, and it had 19" wheels. Just finding a Z4 around here is a challenge, so can't be too picky.

Looks great! Love the interior!

Nice combo! Congratulations!

Congrats, it looks beautiful.

The blue stitching stands out and you should ride with the top down as often as possible to show it off!

Very cool spec. Did you custom order it?

Also, I'm glad to hear about the 18" wheels coming with the Michelin tires. As much as I complain about them being ancient, I still think they're better than the SportContact6 (which is also an older design). My Z4 M40i with 18" wheels is currently on a boat somewhere around Panama.

Yea it was custom ordered and waited 2.5 months to come in!! Was really lucky to get Michelins!!! It’s an awesome machine! Break in period is tough!!!

Just replaced my factory Continental SC6 with PSS ⭐️ at 10k miles. So much happier now! Maybe this is the strategy to get Michelins.

Congrats! Love this look- when the manual is offered going to be an agonizing decision around colors.

Do you plan to lower it with aftermarket springs?

Were the Continentals that worn at 10k miles that you needed to replace all four?

OUTSTANDING! Congratulations! Glad that you're enjoying it. Z4 is such a fun ride, every day. Take your time, break her in well let her put a biiiiig ol smile on your face.

Rears were at or below wear bars and getting slippery out there even in the dry. The fronts could have lasted a bit longer but I wanted a new set of Michelins. When I drive the car, I drive the car.

I just got my winter wheels put on today, and I think they’re the exact same style as these 18”s, just in a darker color. I like the color of yours better.

Congrats on the new ride, love that interior and the blue stitching is perfect!

Thank you guys - I am very happy how it came out.. did a small 100 mile round trip today - and it’s very comfortable in comfort mode, with top closed (5 miles ) to test it out, it’s quite too!!! Planning to go out tomorrow as well… man finding reason to ride it!!!

I love to - I depleted the fun fund completely with the purchase!!! Now it will take time to rebuild… so sometime in the future all modes will follow.. planning to keep this one long time so got lot of time..

I got 19s, style 799M. Mine arrived w/ Michelins (PSS). Might be a bit of luck to it.

Congrats! Looks awesome! Blue calipers really pop.

When did they start putting Alcantera on the door panels and headrest sections? Was that part of a package or is it standard on M40is now? I’m partial to AW, of course. Looks great!

Its part of the seat selection in US - been there for a long time now, I think they introduced it part of the 2022 end LCI.. I am not sure.. If you select the one says black leather seats with blue stitching you get Alcantera on the doors. Only available in that option..

"Black Alcantara Black" is what's labeled on the BYO page. Black leather without contrasting stitching is labeled as "Black" under the vernasca leather section.

BTW, has anyone mounted the Bridgestone RE-71RS? That seems to be the darling of 200TW performance tire now.
