I am mostly pleased with my 40e, but would definitely as well if I had more distance/highway driving.

Should say M50d.
Same straight 6-cyl diesel engine as 30d(35d) and 40d, but a 3rd turbo. 381hp.
Proper beast!

Congratulations and welcome to the M50d club.
You have the same colour and wheel option as mine - great combo.
How are you liking the power and torque?
Did you remove the "d" from the rear or did your stealer do that for you? have been thinking the same but not seen it before.
Next on the list is the carbon M performance kit!

Love it, much more powerful than my 40, steering feels a lot lighter and the it handles much better, feels generally more planted on the road. Plus all the newly introduced electronics over the last couple of years make it a totally different car, albeit looks identical. Front brake discs/calipers are massive!!

Yeah I got the dealer to remove it, I always thought they looked too badgey at the back, considering taking the X5 off too

Ask the dealer to take some photos for you, you know, photos that capture the whole car in one frame.

My F16 is almost 3 years old and still wonderful. In Germany though 381 BHP can sometimes not seem enough on the autobahn compared to the V8's and above...!!!

Nice machine, congrats! Any additional photos where we can see the entire vehicle would be appreciated. I'm on the fence whether to mount the 599M wheels I just bought, and seeing as I have a Black Sapphire Metallic M Sport with the black grills, yours caught just convince me to move forward. Thanks in advance.
