Regarding the hard drive, I understand that there isn’t one on the latest G29 following the LCI facelift. I found that out after taking delivery of mine last August, my previous G29 did have a hard drive. A bit sneaky of BMW cutting corners like this. I have my music on a USB stick in the socket next to the phone pad which is a bit messy.

I have the ivory interior like you, looks great with black sapphire. The only pack I went for was technology, well worth it for the HUD, Harmon Kardon, and reversing camera.

Looks nice and I loved the g29 from the start, the new M4 though is dreadful with that grill and still not changed my mind yet

I have to say the G29 is growing on me, looks great in Sapphire Black but maybe I am biased a bit. :rofl:

I must admit its an amazing place to be at night, once the cabin is all illuminated with the ambient lighting etc. Trying to find excuses to keep nipping out and sit in it :D but I was like that also when I got the E89

The joy of a new car purchase.
Looks lovely,Rick
It's funny, because when I first saw the pics,I could have sworn it was a dark bottle green, until I saw it mentioned it's Black Sapphire.

Very nice all the same, enjoy :driving: :thumbsup:

Hi Craig, thanks, I was always told when I was selling cars to never buy in a green car as they were considered unlucky and would stick in stock. I ended up with a Jag in Jaguar Racing Green and it was fantastic, I was always asked at petrol stations what the colour was. Green cars don't bother me now.

Very nice, the rear of the G29 being so much nicer than the E89.

What you will notice is that with the white Z you only collected black dirt, and now with the black Z it will only be white :lol:

Yeah, I saw the first pic you posted,and thought that looks really nice,not seen one in the Dark green before.
In all the various zeds in Black Sapphire,I've never seen it look dark green before.
That's why I thought it was a colour not previously seen on the G29.
It's obviously just the angle of picture 1,or me imagining it to be a colour it isn't,lol.

It's very nice as I said, enjoy.

I have to admit these new cars have some pretty funky interior ambient lighting. I have been thinking some time now how I can install it in my E89 but without it looking like an aliexpress store :rofl: I'll have to put some more thought into it. :D

Yes, you change the colour of the ambient lighting from blue, white, red and green and I've seen a video of someone recoding them to work like a rainbow :o I fitted led bulbs as replacements in the interior of my E89, but this thing has lights everywhere, does look pretty spectacular at night with the centre screen and digital dash all lit up. I'll take a photo when it eventually stops raining here!

Ask B21, he will know. Will be surprised if he hasn't already got it in the Yellow Peril or is planning to
