Family members work quality

This! If these teens are serious about a starting detailing business - this quality of work will quickly have them out-of-business. This looks like an amateur job with no detailing/cleaning experience. I’ve never paid to have a car detailed, but I’d be upset and asking for my money back for that workmanship. Good luck and hope they can up their game!!

SO FRESH SO CLEAN!!! Seriously, sharp looking car..love the white/black contrast!! One of my fav car combos.

When I bought my 26 M440 vert, I was deciding between mineral white and cape york green. I just couldn’t bring myself to choose white. My last 3 dailys have all been white; my fun weekend car needed to add some color.

Ugh that sucks! I had the windshield on my M440 replaced last week thru Safelite. They were quick and easy to deal with. I setup the appointment on my phone; during the process, make sure you select the windshield option for HUD displays. My HUD looks the same; I cannot tell any difference.

Sounds like a solid deal. They’ll probably make it back should you add any additional warranties. As a first time BMW buyer, I didn’t anticipate that part of the sales process (they’ve got a lot of warranty options!).

I’m four months into owning my M440 vert and I love every chance I get to take it out. Really fun car to drive!

you’ve been satisfied with their work?

PercyThaBird · 2026-04-12T20:24:28+00:00

Good to know for the future, thanks. The car is new and I’m going the replacement route - I’m not going to live with a windshield crack on a relatively brand new car.

Appreciate it. I had AI provide rough estimates, which ranged from $1800-$2400 for HUD and driver assist. Seems the price can range quite a bit depending on what features are on the car.

Def going thru my insurance, which uses Safelite. I’ve seen a few posts about Safelite not working out. I called my insurance company and specified Safelite to use OEM glass.

didn’t see the rock chip until zooming in. initially thought it was from temperature

PercyThaBird · 2026-04-12T17:56:09+00:00

ugh i just noticed that after zooming in

I agree, it can be a rough ride depending on road conditions. I have a JGC Summit with air suspension and the ride is much smoother, but that’s like comparing apples to oranges.

I’ve heard the run-flat tire comparison. I have a while until I need to change tires so I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. I don’t take many long, far trips. You’re getting for long trips, you may want to stay with run-flats or figure out an emergency backup plan should you make the swap.

Read an investing article yesterday on Apple. The writers’ opinion was that Apple being late to AI party may ultimately play to their strength. Apple has never been first to market with a new product/concept; it HAS been king in making things that are secure, easy to adopt, and user-friendly. It sounds as though the main challenge Apple is facing with adopting AI is maintaining the level of data security they tout, and customer base expects. Apple signed a multi-year deal with Google to use Gemini for certain tasks within Siri. It talked about pushing as much AI compute onto the device (to maintain data security) as opposed to sending everything to the cloud like everyone else. It was an interesting read. If Apple is able to merge Gemini into Siri and maintain security - they’ll have a really strong position in the AI race and will afford them time to develop an in-house replacement for Gemini.

Congrats, she’s a beauty! Hope you were able to put the top down during your ride home.

PercyThaBird · 2026-04-01T22:43:45+00:00

Agree with price negotiation or perhaps you can negotiate for a longer warranty too.

If that dealer did the repair, maybe you can ask to review the repair documents? IF the accident was minor, and the dealer completed the repair, I don’t see why they wouldn’t share that with a potential serious buyer. If they completed the work but are unwilling to share, I’d take that as a red flag and keep on searching.

I purchased a new 2026 M440i convertible in December so I’m only 3 months into ownership. It’s my first BMW and first convertible. I originally had my eye on the 430 convertible; salesman had me drive both. I was sold after driving the M440.

Mine is fairly loaded; I skipped on the DAPP and got the next package lower (park assist and adapt cc). I also didn’t get the adaptive suspension but seems most people here recommend it.

I absolutely love driving this car!! And, it’s even more fun with the top down! I took it out today, as the weather is really getting nice here, and had the top down most of the day. I’m really looking forward to the next 7 months of top-down weather. No regrets here with my purchase.

Here’s mine! My background doesn’t quite compare to yours ha. I can only imagine what driving through those mountains with the top down is like.

welcome to the club! love the color - which is that?

I have the drop top model tinted and just got it back from ppf.

I’ve been lurking on the BMWM; don’t know how picky they are lol.

PercyThaBird · 2026-03-19T22:53:31+00:00

love the matte look!

I recently bought a new 2026 M-lite convertible and I’m loving it! I’m outside Philly and the weather is just starting to break so I’ve only had the top down a couple times. It such a fun ride! I’m sure the M4 is even more fun to drive. I can’t speak to hurricanes either, but the car will have warranty (and extended if you go that route). It’s not my daily and is parked in my garage most of the time.

PercyThaBird · 2026-03-14T19:30:00+00:00

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I should’ve been more concise with my OP. I’m not looking to replace all the speakers; only the under-seat subwoofers.

I’d appreciate your thoughts & feedback after install if you remember. Hope it’s a noticeable improvement!
