2021 Marina Bay Blue Metallic M5C Pickup tomorrow...

ashmostro · 10-12-2020, 07:56 PM

OP did your car come on Pirellis or PS4s stock? I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll get the Michelins on the OEM Comp wheels. Car is inbound right now, so close in the build schedule to yours.

BwoodBMW · 10-12-2020, 07:59 PM

looking forward to better pics... love those wheels.

I'm not sure...I'm picking up the wheels that came on it tomorrow. I'll let you know.

Great news... Crossing fingers!

MacOSR · 10-13-2020, 06:54 PM

I didn't have much time today to get some pictures. Here are a few I was able to snap this morning. I'll try and get some more tomorrow.

Also, some have asked about the exhaust tone and let me tell you it is absolutely amazing! When the engine is in Sport Plus with shifting in Sport Plus (or whatever it is called) it sounds crazy. It is the best sounding exhaust tone I have heard on a turbo charged V8. It certainly is not muted one bit for U.S. models.

ashmostro · 10-13-2020, 06:57 PM

Great pics and angles! Mine will, look, quite similar with the spoiler, skirts and MPE as well. No wheels for me.

mjr24 · 10-14-2020, 02:46 AM

Don't like the wheels at all.....but love everything else!

Jay_TSM24 · 10-14-2020, 10:04 AM

Looks good! I've never seen those wheels state-side.

KASM3 · 10-14-2020, 12:14 PM

Are your side skirts specific to LCI or pre LCI works the same? My dealer stated skirts were unavailable.

Is this true? Thought the exhaust valve control still works with MPE

Congrats OP. Gorgeous beast!!

YanoM5 · 10-14-2020, 03:32 PM

Looks great and love the wheels!

This is true

m5 guy · 10-14-2020, 06:37 PM

Looks great!

Are you going to get the front lip when it becomes available?

thekronoschef · 10-14-2020, 10:52 PM

Looks fantastic! I love the MBB - mine was in the paint booth today for Frozen MBB. Shame they still don't have the correct CF competition side grilles at the port, as advertised in the M Performance parts launch. When I found out they won't be available until December I cancelled my side grilles, and will add them down the road. Those wheels are sick...congrats!

Correct. The confusion is that the exhaust button inside the car still does change the way the car overruns by adding excess fuel into the exhaust for pops on decel and shifts or not. That is retained because it doesn’t require a physical muffler flap to operate.

BUT, the MPE will be the same “volume” at all engine settings given the lack of the valves.

I'm pretty sure they are LCI specific. Everything is available except the carbon front grille, front splitters, and front lip. Those three parts should be available in January.

I'm still waiting on some parts to come in from Germany. I'm waiting on the main engine cover (already have extended) and the performance suspension.

BTW, I'm not sure about the gas cap availability that so many are interested in seeing
