Hi, i am in the process of ordering my i40 M Sport and i have two options which i am usure of?

Can someone please tell/show me what model specific design elements and exterior aluminium trim changes on the vehicle design

It's the "shiny" border around the side windows.
I don't think it adds "aluminum" anywhere else. I had it in all my cars and I think it looks good in darker colors.
The M50 doesn't have that option. Tesla also ditched it. So I came to conclusion that it is considered "old fashioned" BUT I will have in my e40!

Also a small discussion here:

I don't want to clutter the forum with many threads, so anything I'm noticing that there isn't already a thread about it I will put it here. (1) I read about the windscreen of i4 been double-glazed (acoustic glass) but not a single mention about the side windows front or back. Not even acoustic...

Thats really helpful, i think black would look far better on Alpine white than the aluminium exterior.
Just wasn't sure if it was relating to the kidney grill

It also adds gloss black mirror caps. Its like the night package Mercedes has which also includes rear tinted windows.
Description from configurator in Greek:
''Ο BMW Individual εξωτερικός εξοπλισμός σε σατινέ αλουμίνιο αποπνέει έναν αέρα πολυτέλειας με τα καλύμματα και τα πλαίσια παραθύρων από σατινέ βουρτσισμένο αλουμίνιο. Τα πλαίσια των εξωτερικών καθρεπτών και οι βάσεις των καθρεπτών σε γυαλιστερό μαύρο χρώμα δημιουργούν μια κομψή αντίθεση.''


I ordered mine a couple of days ago. I removed the model numbers, added extended shadow lines but did not find any option to remove the "i" in the front grille. Probably its not possible.

Εγώ όχι ακόμα. Σου έκαναν κάποια "έκπτωση" σε σχέση με την τιμή του configurator; Το ρωτάω απλώς επειδή έχει κουμπί "Ζητείστε Προσφορά", αν όντως σου κάνουν κάτι.

P.S. I ask my fellow Greek about "offer" from the dealer.

Sorry for going off topic. Regarding the offers I got, yes. They did. They all do. I got offers from 1500€ up to 3500€. It depends also on the configuration you will choose. More specs bigger discount. Mine reached 64k so the discount I got brought it close to 60k. If I add the green energy discount later it will be another 6k discount. Good enough.
