Vegas Red M240i

I picked up my ‘25 M240i in Vegas Red Metallic yesterday. Love the car and really happy to be back in a BMW again.

A couple quick pics, showing the color in the sun and shade.

I'm going to be doing paint correction and ceramic coating this weekend, so I'll get some better pics to post once I've completed that.

I wasn't sure about the 995M wheels based on the configurator but in person I actually quite like them with the Vegas Red paint and black trim. These will probably end up being a winter set and I'll find a set of wheels exactly to my taste to put summer tires on for the majority of the year.

Congrats, I'm on LI as well.... will be picking up a MY25 Portimao Blue with 792M wheels on 10/24 at performance center.
I wish BMW kept the old style black rims as I'm not a fan of the thick spokes on these, but it def. looks better than the bi-color version.

Yeah on the wheels. Look like something GM would do.

To me, the black wheels looks better in person than they appear in the configurator and photos. I'm fine with them as my winter set but thanks for the all the positive feedback....

Those gold wheels look great and I agree are a great compliment to the Vegas Red. I think they're Apex VS-5RS in Motorsport Gold and if so, they are already in the running to be my 3 season setup with summer tires next year.

Here's a video of a new M2 in Vegas Red. Obviously not an M240 but close enough.
