These are all great photos. Admittedly, I am not a professional and yeah, I probably use my iPhone 6S to take a lot of my photos. When I looked at all these, the cars appears to have this "mirrored" look which so much reflection and shine and I'm guessing it's not just because you waxed the car and you're in the perfect light. There's gotta be an iPhone App that takes a regular photo like these I've taken and give them that chrome/shiny/reflective touch. Any ideas or recommendations??

These pictures are amazing. I just ordered the same combo, DG with MG/CF interior. It's a 2017, so I probably won't see it for a couple of months. In the mean time I guess I'll have to decide if I should leave the grills stock or switch to black. Anyone have any pictures with black grills/gills/emblems?

Needs the 21's tho, those arches are scary big. 22's would elevate to another level.

Not sure I could live with the interior for 3 yrs tho. It's totally awesome, but after a year it might just need calming down a wee bitty.
The 20 vs 21 package is the same total size so the wheel wells "arches" stay the same.

Looks great. I just bought mine, same color. I love the car. The dealer had two exactly the same one with B&O one without. I thought the HK stereo sounded noticeably better so it was an easy choice.

I didn't do any research on the wheels and tires before I purchased and i noticed both vehicles the dealer had (in atlanta) had pirelli rubber. I asked and the sales guy said the 21" was an upgrade. Come to find out it's the same price. I actually like the look and ride of the 20" and it's probably lighter but what really sucks is you can't get the Michelin in the 20" which I'm sure is a better tire. Michelin is pretty much always better than everything else. I guess I should have done more research, but these were the only 2 X5M in atlanta area. So strange they ordered both with 20".

Where in GA are you located? I'm in Canton. I have a Long Beach Blue with Mughello Red and 21". I ordered mine from United BMW of Roswell. Let me know, we can hang out, not a lot of us in GA.
