All options except CCBs. Added Carbon Spoiler Pro (a MUST imo) and 3m Ceramic IR 25 all around.

One of the best colors on the F90. Enjoy!

mswaz · 12-15-2020, 12:05 PM

Very nice. But you are putting Arco in it? Buck up and put some real gas in. Then again you are flying a Husky flag. Go Cougs.

cosmolaris · 12-15-2020, 12:12 PM

Plan on doing any PPF or ceramic coating? My M5C is currently in the shop doing frontal PPF.

cosmolaris · 12-15-2020, 12:15 PM

Also are you planning to keep those summer tires on all season in Seattle?

remmib · 12-15-2020, 12:25 PM

Sweet, l like those new red calipers.

pcai · 12-15-2020, 12:28 PM

brownbear_M5 · 12-15-2020, 04:09 PM

She's a beauty. Congratulations and go dawgs.

Fantastic looking car. I think I recognize your place, if so I live a stone throw away and I’m a frequent customer at the great coffee shop at the intersection next door

I was near set on Tanzanite blue but after seeing your pix I wobble on that...

infamousq · 12-16-2020, 03:43 AM

Beautiful car!!!

XLR8_24/7 · 12-16-2020, 05:31 PM

I have had my Donnington Grey M5 Comp for over a year and absolutely love it. Great Color.

It's a fantastic color. Here's the one I let go of in favor of the M8. Loved this car.

I'm Seattle based too, curious to see what others in the area do with seasons & tires.

To OP: Congrats on the car, beautiful color!
I'm walking around with the idea of ordering an M5C in February or March.
I stopped by BMW of Bellevue, looked at an M5 (Non-Comp) in Tanzanite with Aragon.
(As an aside: Tanzanite is a great color, but doesn't feel special enough for me on this car. I'd probably go with Donington and Aragon at this point.)

I asked about discounts from MSRP. He said they wouldn't budge from MSRP, which seems strange to me given the number of brokers that can get you in touch with dealerships willing to do 6-8% of M5 builds.

Did you buy/lease your car through a local dealer?

I'm in seattle and went through the same thing as you. Both BMW seattle and bellevue won't budge on MSRP. For some reason they treat m5s like priceless diamonds on the west coast. East cost dealers give 8-10% off MSRP, so ultimately went with a broker and worked with an easy cost dealer.

Good choice on the Donington grey/Aragon brown combo. There's a few of those already running around here in seattle

BlueString · 12-16-2020, 08:56 PM

Awesome! I have a Donington Grey M5 on order too. It has a different shade under different lighting, almost a silver tone under the light.
