I think BMW is updating the entire DME version, with the updated emissions logic embedded as part of it. So my guess is no, the download files are probably separate for each model.

Radar's still work?

Check this out at Amazon
ESCORT MAX360 Laser Radar Detector - GPS, Directional Alerts, Dual Antenna Front and Rear, Bluetooth Connectivity, Voice Alerts, OLED Display, Escort Live https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01669UNR8..._onvUFbZMXN6JF
Do Radar's still work and have you used this model recently? I used to use this but a few years ago there were way too many false alarms due to cars blind spot detection systems / adaptive cruise systems that use radar/lidar/etc. Waze is what I've found is most helpful, but if you think this helps I"ll use it.

The car is SO fast. In sports plus engine setting, driving the speed limit is simply not possible. I can't believe how well the car handles and grips, even with my winter pirellis strottos on. Couldn't be happier, have 400 miles on it after picking her up on Saturday with 20 miles. Need break in to be over!

To the NJ folks, are you down to meet sometime before the end of the year? Cold weather doesn’t bother me as long as there’s no snow, ice or salt.

I could post in the regional thread but that area of the forum is dead.

I noticed several of us opted for the black wheels too.

If you do, let me know keep me in mind. SO down anytime. Would love to do a drive get some pics and meet some of you.

Curious to know how your C4s compares to the new car in regards to finances and more importantly, performance and smiles per gallon. I'm coming from a 18' panamera 4S and it is BANNANS how much more car you get for this. And my lease is about 500 bucks cheaper per month on the m5c vs p4s.

Just took delivery a couple of hours ago. Dealership performed as promised and actually took care of recall in time for me to pick up today.

Car is awesome, learning my way around her and very Thankful !

So hard to compare the two, 2 totally different machines, however I can try. I've generally have always been a BMW guy, apart from my '15 RS5 4,2 V8) and '19 911 C4S (bought new).

I was actually expecting more from the C4S and to your point, re: bang-for-buck, thrill/giggle factor per miles, engine sound, practicality, etc, frankly I didn't see what all of the 911 hype was all that people are constantly raving about. I didn't see it. (maybe the only 911 to own is the GT3/ GT3RS?) Granted I've never tracked the C4S, but have multiple water pump failures the 1st 6,000 miles was also a turn off on a car costing $145k.

There are a couple Porsche-philes on here that I've had this conversation with before and trust me, they did get their boxers in a bind over it.

So yes, even though I haven't actually clocked hours in the M5, I did track it at MTrack days at Monticello and test drive it a few times. I found both the sound of engine and the blistering Jeckle/Hyde persona of this car amazing. It seems to scratch every itch. Also, these options alone on a new 992 would probably cost upwards of $30+k. We also bought this car with the C42 as a pre-trade.

Hope this long-winded response answers your question lol

Thanks!

I was talking to the sales manager, and even he admitted when he placed the order in the system a few months ago he didn't know about the color combo. He said after seeing it, its fantastic.

I chickened out of SRB and went the easy route of choosing a dealer-spec'd car that was already en route (donington and silverstone full leather).. should pick up this week or early next, and a part of me will always do that wistful longing *sigh* when I see your car 🤣

Sorry, this is just funny to me. ANY Color combo can be ordered, we know that. Guess that makes sense (kind of) given the abundance of Black, Silver or white dealer ordered cars.

I ordered an E90 M3 years ago in Lemans Blue/ Fox Red. Though discouraged by BMW, the order went through w/o a hitch. Not to mention the Individual options out there.

Your color combo kind of reminds me of the Long Beach Blue/ Aragon Brown X5 ///M I saw in the showroom of PIT Bimmer dealer years ago. Very nice.

I realized with my first nice car purchase years ago that if I don't get EXACTLY what I want color combo wise I will regret the purchase no matter how nice the car is.

Agreed. And I find, the more expensive the car is, the more this is true...

Just talked to my CA. My F90 has been released to carrier (dealer is 20 min from VPC) and I should be able to pick her up Friday or Saturday.

The software update was completed at the VPC and seemingly no damage while on the vessel. Looking to be a NICE weekend coming up.

Bye to the X5 ///M though.

Been awhile since I posted pics on a forum, do I still need join a host site to capture a URL or has that changed?
