2021 Marina Bay Blue Metallic M5C Pickup tomorrow...

After being without an M5 or M3 for four years I decided to jump back in and order a 2021 M5C. She came in at the dealer on Friday and is being worked on getting some additional parts installed that weren't available for port install. Here are a couple picks I snapped at the dealer as it was getting prepped on Friday.

Optional parts that I had installed so far are:
- CF Mirror Caps (Port install)
- CF Rear Diffusor (Port install)
- Rear Spoiler Carbon Pro (Port install)
- Carbon Fiber Extended Engine Cover (Port install)
- Carbon Fiber Side Grilles (Port install)
- Carbon Fiber Side Skirts (Dealer install)
- Steering Wheel Pro (Dealer install)
- M Performance Exhaust (Port install)
- M Performance Forged Wheels (Dealer install)

These are the parts I am still waiting on from Germany:
- Carbon Fiber Engine Cover
- M Performance Adjustable Sport Suspension Kit

I'll post more pictures once it's ready tomorrow and I pick her up.

BTW, for those people that have been asking on here about X5M vs M5 I can tell you that an X5M is not the same. I do have a 2016 X5M (with RaceChip Pro) and my wife has a 2018 M550i and after driving her car some this summer I realized that I really missed driving a performance car. I had traded in my 2006 M5 and 2016 M3 in on the X5M so I haven't driven a car much for a few years. I've mostly been driving the X5M and my truck (Ford F350)...I really missed driving a fast car.

Again, more to come in the next day or so.

They’re no available until January. I’ll add them once I can get them along with the carbon grille.

Ya front lip is fine and dandy...but let's get real here. When are you going to add the CF gas cap! That's the only MP part that youre missing inside and out. Did you get the MP floor mats?

I wonder where "in port" do they do all these modifications. Interesting why they just don't let the dealer do it all.

Is that the new steering wheel? Looks the same as one that came in mine, if not installed yet what does the Pro wheel look like?

P.S. Love all the additions, though round my way they be all stolen in a heart beat. LOL

No. That’s the steering wheel that comes on it. New steering wheel wasn’t installed yet.

The exhaust itself isn't muted. The ECU changes how the car produces sound. Plus haven't heard this is happening in the US yet.

All I have heard is people getting software upgrades and exhaust is muted after the upgrade

Lots of peeps in the US on M8 board mention it and thought on this board as well...

I was asking the question bc OP paid for Mperf exhaust just to have it muted I would be pissed

The M Performance exhaust is "better" than the Competition exhaust. However, you lose exhaust valve control if you "upgrade" to the Performance version.

Beautiful. Were those 863M wheels a factory option? I'd be interested in getting those for my pre-LCI M5.

They are but at the time I ordered my car they weren't available.

Here is a pic...I just picked it up. I'll have to take pictures tomorrow during the day.
