Haven't seen anyone with this spec yet so here it is… my new M240i xDrive in Thundernight Metallic with Tacora Red interior!

Really happy with how everything came out. More photos to come.

idontsave · 02-01-2022, 04:21 PM

Tint done! 35% front and 25% rear 3M Ceramic IR with 80% Crystalline on the windshield.

Gavlar2019 · 02-01-2022, 04:59 PM

Very nice , congrats

drpie · 02-01-2022, 05:06 PM

Sweet; good luck and stay safe

drumhorn · 02-01-2022, 06:37 PM

Looks nice. Mine just arrived at the dealership today. Hoping to take ownership within the week as soon as I sell my old car.

THANK YOU for the pics! I also went with Thundernight/Tacora combo and have only been able to find 3 other poor photos of the real car with it. There are literally dozens of us! I also went with the shadowline, red brakes, and planned on tinting. Only difference is the 1PP black wheels.

I was genuinely nervous about how this combo would end up looking in-person but I was blown away when it finally came in. 0 regrets here!

You are in for a treat

Yeah, I was also nervous, but it looks fantastic. And the window tint pretty much solves any kind of contrast with the purple/red as I expected.

Nicolas05 · 02-02-2022, 03:03 AM

Here you have another one (not mine).

Great combo, it does work.

pbw · 02-02-2022, 03:28 AM

Congratulations, car looks great. A great choice and combo. Enjoy.

Make me 3! Glad it looks great as I imagined it would be. My SA was a bit nervous when the order was placed incase I back out. The only regret I have is didn't pick your wheel mainly for the added flares.

Congrats! Should share some night pics…

Here's the few I have at the moment, will try to get some better shots soon.

It's crazy how the paint transforms in different lighting.

Agreed. The reason I like this purple is exactly for the color change between night and day. It looks sleek and appears like a possible darker afar but under light is a wonderful royal purple. Truly fantastic.

yanks1 · 02-02-2022, 09:51 AM

Love it!!! its beautiful & enjoy and best of luck

idontsave · 02-02-2022, 11:10 PM

Here's a few quick night shots, with and without flash.

Waiting on my PPF/ceramic appointment before taking some higher quality images at a better location.

Odd choice of blue calipers with purple paint and red interior. Really needs the red (or black) calipers to pull it all together.

AllenLeeBMWDurham · 02-03-2022, 01:02 PM

looks great! congratulations!

At least the bow matches.

idontsave · 02-04-2022, 06:05 PM

Few more pics.

Car is still not pristine but hey, it's the ultimate driving machine, right?

idontsave · 02-04-2022, 06:09 PM

And a couple more…
