Cannockwolf's M240i

Hi I've just ordered (2 weeks ago) a new 2023 G42 with the following Options
  • Metallic - Brooklyn grey
  • Vernasca leather - Black with blue contrast stitching
  • M Adaptive suspension
  • Illuminated M accents in front door
  • Tech Pack Plus
  • Comfort pack
  • BMW M 50 Years badges on bonnet, tailgate and wheel hubs
  • Aluminium rhombical interior trim
  • Harman/Kardon surround sound system
  • X-Drive & Wing 'M' Debadge

Purchases so far
I went with the seat backs because my OCD needs them to match the arm rest, even though I only see the sides of them.

Ive gone full mental break down and decided to go full CF all round as soon as I decided I needed the Black side skirts and rear bumper colour coded to BG. I saw R44 do this and it makes a massive improvement for me.

The car had been specced rear debadged (Inc. X drive) on order and the dealer is going to put my black one on for me. I'm going to fit the rest so a little apprehensive but should be ok.

Been told to expect it June 2023.

Pics will be posted as I get stuff in.




Here's my build spec from my E46 330Ci, I wont be going this far again! LOL

I really like your spec pretty much identical to mine. The only thing u absolutely hated was the aluminum trim. Didn't fit the car well at all and immediately changed it out for gloss baldk

Can't you? I presumed your dealers would just order it from Germany Corby like ours? I've had to order them separately I couldn't do it on the Configurator if that's what you mean.

The seats in the US are standard; not m seats. They have different back compared to the back of M seats.
