New toy

X3 M40 in the background to keep it relevant to bimmerpost.

Summary so far: It's very fast and seemingly defies the laws of physics.

Saw one of these on the road yesterday. Looks very nice, 295's up front mean business

stein_325i · 04-30-2021, 05:27 PM

Congrats and beautiful car. The RSQ8 is easily the best looking of the "coupe-ified" SUV's.

chassis · 04-30-2021, 05:38 PM

Looks great, congratulations!

Foggins · 04-30-2021, 05:47 PM

Wow, looks great. Amazing road presence.

SickGTR · 04-30-2021, 06:15 PM

My buddy just got one. BAD ASS!!!!!!! Has the same wheel gap as the new M cars.

I also like RSQ8 (aka Urus in detuned disguise). Your car looks fantastic with exterior color being a great choice. How loud is it?

Thanks!

I have double paned glass so it's muted on the inside, but you can absolutely hear the growl and burbles on acceleration. I haven't WOT'ed it yet (literally picked it up yesterday w/10 miles on it), but here's a breakdown so far:

Comfort mode: No engine noise cruising, muted on accel, no pops that I can hear.
Auto: No engine noise cruising, nice growl and some pops on accel, shifts are smooth.
RS2 (everything on max, traction control "off"): Good low growl, shifts hit you right in the spine with a nice thooompf, lots of pops and burbles.

I need to take this through a couple tunnels to see how loud it is since my kids are not tall enough to rev it for me and my wife will roll her eyes at me if I ask her.

There's a Urus around here with AUDI Q8 license plate. It's hilarious and I need to find him again and get a pic. Another guy has:

$450 for the Michelin (special order too) with tread wear rating of 220..

methodtim · 04-30-2021, 09:32 PM

If you're implying the running cost of this thing is going to make me cry, yes, yes it will. Ah well, YOLO.

psuibmw · 05-01-2021, 05:12 AM

Congrats

No one ever said you ain't gotta pay to play. Judging by the 6 figure whips I think you knew what you’re getting into

Hold up, just noticed the Audi Steven's Creek frame--we're neighbors.

Vivek. · 05-01-2021, 05:41 AM

When I saw your first pic I was thinking "that looks just like San Jose, but there's not enough data for me to make that claim". I'll venmo you 10 bucks for a correct guess on where I took the pic of the yellow Uris. I'm betting it's within a 15 mile radius from your home. I always keep my drunk promises

Lol - Rinconada Center.

I'm actually headed up to Hakone today to hang out for a bit.

"I'm betting it's within a 15 mile radius from your home. I always keep my drunk promises" lololololllll -- right around 15 miles, I'm in South SJ.

Did you buy off the lot or order? Cash, loan or lease? Trade in on the deal?
