Picked it up!

Post by ori » Thu Nov 12, 2020 8:45 pm

Hey guys and gals,

So, I finally picked it up today. Blue m40i.

First impression is that it feels much more planted than my previous 35is. The engine is very responsive even in comfort mode. Power delivery is so smooth.

Did the software update when I got home which I understands adds Apple maps to the hud, but not waze!?!?
That would be very useful.
Haven’t tried it with Google maps.

Very nice indeed especially in blue.

These are looking better and better with time I think. Would be very happy to pick one of these up!

Thanks. It’s better than I had hoped.
I love it.

Dealer said that maybe in update next year they may add Apple digital key, but I doubt it.

The seating position is lower than my previous zed.

Any tips I should be aware of?

    It’s a headturner for sure.

    My valet guy is coming tomorrow to apply a coat of good stuff so will update. He does a great job.

    "Any tips I should be aware of?"

    Configure Individual and set all to Sport+ :D , click it as soon as you get in the car...then the real m40i starts to become alive!
