Some initial details and thoughts:

• Apparently the first frozen purple produced at the Munich plant 🙂
• It has absolutely every option. The only thing I didn’t go with was Merino as I didn’t like any of the colours with the purple.
• I love the mocha, but the leather isn’t fantastic.
• Funny to say, but it’s actually more purple than I expected. Definitely unique! The amount of head turns I noticed as I drove home was insane!
• The ride hight is ridiculous. Needs a drop BADDLY!
• It’s definitely quick, but I immediately felt the weight. Hides it well and feels surprising nimble, but the weight is noticeable.
• Took some getting used to, but I really enjoy one-pedal driving.
• I hate, HATE the seats 😖 Absolutely terrible bolstering with the ventilation!! I will say, however, that the ventilation is much better than in my last car, so that’s positive at least. Honestly the worst seats I’ve had in a while. Such a let down in a car at this price point.

Wow! I couldn't pull that off (just too conservative), but it is spectacular!

I’m not 100% certain I can pull it off either, TBH! Wanted something unique though 🙂

Full front PPF and tints happening on Tuesday/Wednesday.

This is actually my 3rd matte car so I’ve had experience looking after them. Matte paint is honestly not as bad to maintain as people think.

I don't get the license plate.... Help me out

Regenerate 😉

 

[toosteeley]

Apologies but unfortunately this is quite an incorrect statement 😉. I have already seen two of these in Europe.

That statement is coming directly from BMW corporate who had to approve my build. It’s possible there were others produced after mine seeing as Euro deliveries happen much faster.

Didn’t say it was the only one, just the first produced 😉

Please do post a pic or two especially one taken at dawn break and open blue skies....

Lots more pics to come. Not to worry 😉

First mod complete 🙂. Got rid of the ugly orange reflectors. Looks MUCH better now!

 

[toosteeley]

^ Absolutely! Going in for spring and spacer install on Friday 😉

 

[toosteeley]

Interesting. I was told it’s a new colour for 2023. Again, coming directly from BMW, not the dealer.
Doesn’t matter much either way, though 🙂

 

[toosteeley]

Are you rolling the dice with the lack of front plate?

I’ll likely put the front plate on after PPF. Or I might just go without until I get pulled over.

 

[toosteeley]

Can you share where you’re getting the PPF done? I’ve been looking for a shop near Hamilton and getting no love.

Getting it done at a place in Maple: http://Id-protection.ca

Can't wait to see this. How much are you paying for parts/install, if you don't mind me asking. Seriously considering lowering mine as well 🤔

The springs were $700ish shipped from Europe. Getting them installed at Eurocharged. Will likely be around the same for installation and alignment.

 

[toosteeley]

And yes @generic.user we definitely need to plan a GTA meet up soon!

 

[toosteeley]

Starting to really fall in love with this car!

 

[toosteeley]

LOL! Funny you should ask. Both the 50 year badges and m performance seat belts were in my original order, but removed during production.

I have a set of 50 year badges on order which will be installed shortly. I agree, they'll suit the car more

 

[toosteeley]

I'm also hoping to get a better colour match on the fender reflector covers :/

 

[toosteeley]

^ There was a twilight purple M4 convertible in the showroom when I picked up my i4. It’s honestly a fantastic colour! Much more depth than my frozen. Was hoping to get a pic of them together, but they were at opposite ends of the dealership 😕

 

[toosteeley]

Yup, that’s it.

First charge last night. Worked like a charm 🙂
