According to the wiring diagrams, there only appears to be RGB LEDs just above the storage compartment in the center console and the FZD (roof functions center). The light you were seeing probably came from the FZD. The rest of the LEDs are in the doors. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case!

I'd share the wiring diagram, but I don't think I'm allowed to post that.

Rear reflectors are vertical which is an m car attribute. Why do they keep watering down the m brand?

I know. And it looks terrible. So I was asking IND if they were going to offer color matched side skirts. It was sort of a joke but also kinda serious.

Maybe you can let BMW know folks would like to be able to get them in body color. I mean it can't be that hard. They do it for the 230 in the same factory.

Awe I understand what you mean now! That makes sense. Maybe you can do a special request when placing a factory order.

You're not wrong. I had to sit over 2hrs for an oil change. Ridiculous. Local Indy had an oil change and brake fluid flush done within an hour.

They have 8.8 and 10.25", same as 3/4. Biggest is 12.3" on the higher end cars, until i4/iX.

I was so wishing this would have a B-class engine with manual.. as soon as this was announced and went for a 2021 with 6MT. This 2 looks great, just would be wonderful if it had a 6MT ( sub S engine )

This is a very safe color but a classy and aggressive one. The powerdome looks mean. When the M2 arrives and gets the individual treatment I think I'll opt for a loud supersport color that pops though. As of now, this is the best build I think.

This has to be the ugliest vehicle out of Munich ever, maybe besides 1 or 2 cars.

Looks like a puffed up Miata.

The G80 took time to grow on me. Now it's acceptable, but this thing will never be a BMW in my eyes

I saw the G42 IRL for the first time today, drove by the local dealer and stayed in my car since it was coming down in buckets. The car was running and customers was buzzing around it, white paint and looked like a lower spec car but first impressions: Cool, compact and fresh. Nice!

Much more compact looking than I expected, it was parked next to a 3 series and looked positively tiny next to it. Really looking forward to our loaded M240i now.
