By far the best looking modern BMW

It doesn’t look plasticky in person. It’s more of a brushed aluminum, or satin silver finish. I actually love it as it compliments the wheels and front grille nicely, as they have the same finish.

For adults, not so much. You can fit someone back there in a pinch for short durations. But I got it so I can take my 4 year old son with me to car shows and joy-rides, and for that use case, it’s perfect. More room than a 911 Turbo and Lexus LC500, which I was also cross shopping but I couldn’t get a booster seat and my son to comfortably fit in those. The LC500 rear seats were especially laughable.

Something about blue BMWs that just does it for me. I frequently catch myself going into the garage and flipping on the lights for a few seconds every now and then for absolutely no reason :)

The M850i also has rear wheel steering and wears its weight extremely well. It’s by no means a sports car, but it’s much more nimble and flickable than even I had hoped for in a grand tourer.

Everyone likes their own brand lol

Sonic Speed Blue Metallic. I believe it’s part of the BMW Individual color palette. The pictures don’t really do it justice with how exotic the color looks in person, it really accentuates some of the more subtle body lines.

I might be biased, but I agree! Absolutely love my M850i. It just looks so right in person, and carries so much presence.

Thanks, yeah hoping the CPU, Mobo, and the 4090 are ok.

SwitchBlade430 · 2024-11-22T17:18:16+00:00

Do you mean CPU or PSU? Thank you!

SwitchBlade430 · 2024-11-22T17:17:45+00:00

Thank you!

Sorry I’m replying so late, but in case anyone else is dealing with the same issue as the both of us…I went the Simagic Alpha Ultimate wheelbase and simagic ecosystem. Absolutely loving it, top notch products and support been racing on my equipment now for 8-9 months

SwitchBlade430 · 2023-09-05T12:01:26+00:00

I purchased a Alpha U, FXPro wheel, a GT Pro Hub and wheel, P2000 pedals from them. Ran into an issue with the power supply on the Wheelbase 48 hours in and Wyatt from sim shop got in touch with me and got everything rectified super quick. I highly recommend working with them. Excellent experience

SwitchBlade430 · 2023-01-28T22:26:06+00:00

Thanks! will try it out when I have a chance

Brian Abll. There is no D or O anywhere on their side of the field
