Finally!! The Blue Eagle Has Landed Home

yanks1 · 02-19-2022, 02:07 PM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Mid-October order out of coastal NC.. Build completed about Dec 20 and after cargo shipment ~ 2 week delay for RAM Chip and no options were deleted thankfully.

Absolutely love the Blue color & the Black Leather Interior with Alum Trim & HK Audio. Car drives like a dream and fast as shxxx... Took it easy driving home about 90 miles to our Coastal SC Home. Also definitely RWD bias, didn't feel like I was driving an AWD Vehicle, love the transmission and used both manual modes a few times. Like the HUD feature also, really cool.

Have great weekend everyone!!! Edit, I added few more pix bottom of page one on Sunday

FeckinSpaceman · 02-19-2022, 02:32 PM

Looks outstanding! Congrats and fantastic build

Yes, the sideways picture mystery drives me nuts

steelatx · 02-19-2022, 03:00 PM

Congrats on the new ride! It's so hard not to speed. 65 feels like 30 and 100 feels like 65 lol 😂

yanks1 · 02-19-2022, 03:44 PM

very tough not to speed, that car is fast!!

Golddog · 02-19-2022, 04:14 PM

Car looks fantastic. Need a couple more pics of that beauty. So glad I ordered the blue.

Congrats Yanks, it has been a journey.

Posting pics: I use the iOS app, if it's oriented correct on my devices, it will show correct on here.
Different software still deals with it differently, I can fix and re-post if required.

Absolutely Beautiful! Congatulations!

CTGT2005 · 02-20-2022, 06:52 AM

Very nice! Have the same color. Really pops, also seems to pick up colors around it and change in different lighting. Everything from sky blue to tinges of purple.
