Thanks!

It was a local day trip from a Seattle suburb to and around Mt. Rainier.

I didn't pay too much attention to mileage driven or time spent, the purpose was to enjoy the car on mountain roads. I put around 260mi with 20% of charge remaining when I got back to the city.

BTW, the estimated range was showing a bit more than 400 miles after charging after the trip, which I've never seen being that high before. I'm in 40e rwd.

I also saw the brake regen adding charge to the battery for the first time while driving down the mountain. Despite my lead foot.

One more pic from that day, just liked the overall lighting:

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I drive from home to the tennis courts 2-3 times per week and the courts are about 10 miles away and are mostly downhill from my home. The drive out to the courts gets me about 5 mi/kWh, but the trip back not so nice. Overall, the round trip ends up being around 3.9 or 4.0 mi/kWh. That 400 miles range you got there must be with a lot of net downhill regen!

Yes, the Harrison St Flagship! I love their queueing setup (there’s only one way into the garage and one way out). No one can cut in line or fight over any chargers!

Nice, I’ve still not tried it out, but feel like I need to one of these days just to try it out.

So what does that mean? The gate doesn’t open to admit anyone unless there is a free working charger?

There’s no gate since it’s open 24/7. But yeah, in a way you’re right, cars will just line up at the entrance until a charger frees up. The entrance is exactly one car width. Turnover is pretty quick maybe a couple of minutes at most during peak.

Tanzanite Blau with Espresso Braun veganza interior. But looks a bit dark due to the lack of sun. It really pops when there is a bit more light. The car has not be cleaned yet. Explicitly requested the dealer not to touch or wash the car before delivery. You might even notice there is still a bit of protection plastic on the a pillar.

Specs is pretty much all except for: Crystal buttons, panorama roof en sunscreens This includes adaptive suspension (non M) with steering rear axes. And I went for staggered 20" summer tires instead of 21". 21" was a bit too harsh since I live country side. Winter tires are square 19".

Will post better pics once cleaned and ready for the winter.

NEED pictures of this interiro please.

My Carbon Black over Espresso G61 is currently at the dealer for a month stuck with a recall. I have the same 938 wheels too.

I have seen a few photos but more and ones from a G61 can't hurt.

Request for pictures:

Has anyone got any of the Individual blue colors?

• Avus blue
• Marina Bay Blue
• Santorini Blue
• Blue Bay Lagoon

I’ll get you some tomorrow. Any specifics you are looking for? I like how it is dark enough to not stand out as a colour on its own while still making the interior less boring.
What’s also good: they don’t try to colour match the seat colours in the plastic parts anymore. That was a big turn off for me in the previous 5 and current x5.

530e. It’s a 2.0t with e-motor. It’s lovely combination.

Nice aftermarket wheels - interested to hear if you see a range hit (perhaps you never tried the OEM wheels to compare?) but they set off the car nicely.
