Cbozz wroteIt's a company lease so coding/tuning will have to be under the radar - what king of magic can you work?!ELSTL wroteCome by my place I’ll get that thing coded!!Headed to Autohaus tomorrow to order a new daily! Settled on the x3 m40i - most likely in brooklyn gray over tacora red guts with the 718m wheels. But Alpine white or Dark Graphite metallic are also contenders and so is the black 20" wheel option since they come wrapped in non-RFT tires. Wish there was more inventory on the lot to see in person, but I will have to pull the trigger based mostly on samples/pics. What color and wheels would you gents choose?

ELSTL wroteIt's totally reversible. Chris do a backup of the base file then when the lease is up it can be restored.It's a company lease so coding/tuning will have to be under the radar - what king of magic can you work?!
That said, I would think whoever buys or gets the car once the lease is over would appreciate the small little touches done via coding. We'll just pretend the car came that way...

That said... Black wheels, red interior. Do it!
Thanks fellas.
Red interior and calipers is the only certainty.
Torn between Dark Graphite vs Brooklyn Gray and hope to see the two wheel options in person 🤞🏻

Looking at them again, dark one looks more menacing.
When perfectly clean the Dark Graphite is the easy choice, but I feel like the Brooklyn Gray will look better between washes…
ELSTL wroteI had sparkling graphite m3 so I’ll definitely say the dark one! I could never tell my car was dirty so it definitely hides everythingWhen perfectly clean the Dark Graphite is the easy choice, but I feel like the Brooklyn Gray will look better between washes…
patroklai wroteHoly shit - the new order seems pretty trivial after seeing that - very happy she is ok.Daughter got in an accident today. Turns out the guy was running from the police.
Luckily everyone is OK and injuries are minor. 5 cars were involved.
Oh no! Glad she is okay.
Picked up the new x3 m40 tonight - so far very happy with the spec and impressed by the powertrain
That is a very good looking car! Congrats!

Your daughter is a lucky girl if that's her replacement! Happy she is ok.
Both nice rides!
