Vegas Red - Anyone receive theirs yet?
I noticed that the Vegas Red Metallic color is available for the i5 eDrive40 now in the builder on BMWUSA.com. There are no red ones on any lots in my area so I was wondering if anyone has received theirs and can post some pics.
I'm really thinking of getting that color, but I'd like to see it in person first, or at least some photos from folks who have that color. Thanks in advance! |

Thanks for the video. I found that one earlier today as well.
I love the color in that video, but was wondering how the color would look when out in the sun. The lighting in that showroom might make the car look a little darker than it looks in the sunshine. I don't want the red color to be too bright in the sun. I love how the darker red mixes with the gloss black accents. |

Here are more pictures. Even in daylight.
Scroll a bit. https://www.bimmertoday.de/2023/05/2...llic/#image-21 And this. Depending on the exposure it will be a medium to slightly darker RED. |

I would just suggest that if this is what you choose, be 100% certain that you like it because it's definitely a [very] bold statement.

Thanks.
I, for one, have already ordered. My wife chose the RED one, so everything will be fine! |

Nice. I’ve got 2 to choose from….although the TH15 MYM plate is from when I had my 2015 M5, so not sure about putting it on a “non M” car….🤷🏼*♂️

It will be on an eDrive40 with the M Sport design and the M Sport Pro pack with the extended shadowline trim, so basically the grill and all the trim will be black. At first I liked the contrast between the white and the black, but that was before the red was available in the US market. Now that red is available, I really like how the deep red and the black work together. It just seems like there are so many white cars on the road these days that it would be nice to stand out a little with a bolder color on such a nice looking car. The wife likes white and I'm leaning towards the red. I've never owned a white car and have always found them to be somewhat plain looking in general. I've always owned blue vehicles in the past, but I'm not a fan of how the blue looks with the black trim on the i5, so it's definitely between red and mineral white for me. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and pics/videos! |

I got the mineral white and love it BUT I did that knowing that white cars are a PITA as they show the dust and dirt very quickly. My wife also has a white car, but I love that that black/white contrast.

My have had a few white ones, but in the Pacific Northwest they get dirty quickly with the rain and road grime. We almost ordered Vegas Red, but the color swatch on the BMW build site wasn’t nice looking. Now, we wish we had gotten it. I’ve never had blue, so now I have to keep Tanzanite Blue constantly clean. Dark is as bad as white.

Your experience with the white matches with what I thought. I agree - the white and black contrast looks really good! |
