thx
I don't know why it took so long.
I ordered in February and the build date wasn't until July.
If it had been built a bit earlier I wouldn't have that annoying speed warning.

You can turn speed warnings off.

I know, but you have to do it every time the car starts again.

Yes, you have to see the colors in real life.
Sometimes it is different in the photo.
It is a great color.
Good luck with your future great car

I've had it for 2 months now and every time I get in I have a big smile on my face.
I've also received many compliments from strangers, both for the car and the color.
I had to wait 7 months and watched all the videos on YouTube multiple times.

And it's in a different place than every other BMW built. Normally the badge is lower on the fender.
Surprised the dealer would mount it there and not OEM

Why does it have to be OEM?
Black badge is also not OEM
It is a personal choice, just like many people mount non OEM rims.
