Agreed. Visually the black exhaust tips are somewhat difficult to see.

Man, I love that red.
I think the chrome bits on the headlights blend best with AW or BG since they are lighter. I think all the ZB HEA spec didn’t have shadowline either from what I saw.

Yes, the sun’s reflection makes it difficult to fully see.

I’ll share mine for contrast so folks can decide too. I didn’t have much choice but seeing the differences in person sold them for me.
I like the black headlights and black tips. Also like the black wheels. But this is why BMW offers options

Black wheels for sure. I have them on my G42 BG and they look good.

PS: being a grammar nazi, it’s “regardless”, or “irrespective”.

I find TUD’s posts very useful irregardless of grammatical errors.

I found this vid with BG and non shadowline. It really shows the headlight detail. This is basically the spec I have on order.

Funny you mention this. I will be eventually be getting the Valvetronic catback with cf tips. I was concerned that it would clash if I got the cf diffuser.

This makes sense given that my build has been stuck in Quality Check for almost 4 weeks now for a "minor part".

Yea I think with BG or AW it looks really good actually because it blends. Other colors, maybe not so much

Yikes! Is there anything else that you can think of that might be holding it up? Carbon Pkg?

Mine is optioned with wireless charging (6mt) and it went through in less than a month from receiving allocation. Could be different for auto though.

This P1 unit is a manual. We have yet to spec an auto G87.
