White probably looks better with the black wheels.

This car definitely needs the LED headlights. It just completes the look. Otherwise the front end looks somewhat derpy especially if the DRL's are off

BMW can delete bottom leds in air dams to look more sportier or meaner. Maybe offer it as option.

The icon lighting is nice, but part of me likes the more traditional look of the standard corona rings.

It doesn't in real life. The 18 inch 662 wheels look better and more refined. I compared them side by side

Real life always trumps pics. I like the 18 wheels best too but don't think one can with the msport...

Believe it was regular M Sport suspension.
It was being driven very hard in those pictures

Thanks. I just came back from a very spirited drive on some local back-roads. The demo car I have available for the weekend is a SportLine 530d xDrive on a standard passive suspension which makes it very floaty over cornering crests. The car pogos diagonally like crazy...

Odd that they didn't put msport suspension, VDC or adaptive suspension on a demo car...

My thinking exactly...especially as it does have other expensive options like Driving Assistant Pro, Aux heating, Comfort seats and things like 19" wheels, Soft Close, Ambient Air, Head up display, ICON lights, etc. So it's not a cheap G30.
It seems like someone didn't scroll down fully in the configurator
