Looks great.
I got the DGM as well but the wife wanted the smoke white interior as it’s her car.

What size rims did you get ? Those look awesome

That is the 20 inch with M Sport Package. I mainly want to get the all season tire but the cool rim is a plus

OciWan · 10-22-2023, 12:05 PM

Awesome. I stuck with the 19 since my wife needed the range and the ride comfort.

I think most people will use their phone as a key.

Mine was in 112 status on Oct 11, 150 status on Oct 17. Still in 150. I’m west coast so looking like January for me.

Super excited my i5 arrived at the dealer today. Picking it up later this week

Move just arrived today as well. Will be picking up on Friday. Let us know how you like it.

Mine finally changed from entering the production queue to in the paint booth. Just as I had called the Genius and asked for the status, she said it was due to be built this week. Which will put me just in time for my current end of lease date in early December.

Cool. You ordered the same time as me. I’m still stuck at Production Begins. Hopefully that will change soon.

Called the Genius line and was told my estimated build completion date is November 6th. So, 6 days to get to Production Started and 20 days for the build. Seems long, but the agent had no other info.

MikeElmendorf · 10-25-2023, 06:40 PM

Well, I was skeptical but pulled the trigger today. i5 M60 ordered. Tanzanite Blue, Copper Brown/Atlas Gray Merino with every option but Executive (didn’t want panoramic; like to open the roof) and carbon fiber.

I love my 2021 M550 and would have ordered another, but alas not an option. Looked at buying it but once done with tax and extended warranty, I was within $100 a month of leasing the i5. Made no sense especially since it seemed likely I’d end up underwater on the 550 eventually.

Drove the M60 Monday and was blown away by the performance. Acceleration is insane and it drove great. Much about the interior is just not as nice as mine—lots of obvious cost-cutting, but there are other elements I like a lot.

Switching to EV will be a big change—I am already having range anxiety! But, I am looking forward to giving it a shot.

Scheduled for November production per my dealer but don’t have any more specific details yet.

Picked up mine today. Car looks really striking in person. Veganza feels really soft. Sitting position feels higher than a typical sedan. Drives really well. Highway assit is really neat although it's going to take me some time to get used to really hands off on the curves :-)

It's raining today so didn't really have good pictures. Will take a few more when the weather is nicer

Looks amazing! Great combo. I'll be picking up mine on Friday from Bill Jacobs as well.

Glad to hear veganza is really soft. I'm coming from nappa in my M550.

Was this Knauz? If so, I was there when they were dropping these off.

My local genius drives a '23 M550 and after taking my m60 to xpel yesterday he said he know's what car he wants next...grats.
