I can't see this working. You'd be much better off with the slate grey interior package. If you want green inside, in my opinion the exterior should be green (unfortunately no longer available), black, white or yellow.

did you secure euro delivery?

Funny story and a request for help.

Request for help: I have an iphone. Need ideas on where you put your phone while driving for both carplay and charging. What is your set up?

Funny story:
Took my new T out for its first proper thrashing on some twisties yesterday with only 400 miles on it (kept the rpms below 4500 for those OCD folks). The entire time I am hearing squeaks coming from the lower dash area. I HATE RATTLES AND SQUEAKS and have gone through massive efforts to eliminate them in cars. Typically, my P-cars have been rattle free. During my drive, I am getting more and more pissed because the squeaks continue and I am trying to figure out where they are coming from, already forming the dealer conversation in my head. Within about 10 minutes, I am code red and pissed on a level of 11.

After about 20 miles, I figured it out. The squeaks were my running shoes rubbing on the winter floor mats and the piece of plastic film which the dealer forgot to remove next to the gas pedal. The more I worked the (3) pedals, the worse the squeaks got. My panic subsided and I had to laugh at myself. Soon, I learned to like the squeaks because it meant the road was good (first time in my life).

Overall impression - the car is a great set up for driving. Very balanced. I am looking forward to using more of the rev range in the future since I don't think sub 4.5k rpms is optimal.

I bought a coil charge cable and plugged it into the port under the center lid. If I need to charge, that's where it will be although I almost never need to charge my phone during the day as I top it up every night. I also bought the rennline magsafe mount but haven't installed it yet.

Ditto. Hate squeaks and rattles. Hopefully, T holds up well over time. We’ll see. Someone gifted me this wireless iphone charging pad…see pic. Works great. I think they’re cheap and everywhere including amazon. Like @arrivederci i rarely need to charge in T, but it’s there if needed.

I think it’s prudent to avoid redline for a while. Many components need time breaking in, operating at varying temperatures and getting used to working together. This includes engine (pistons/cylinders, crank shaft, bearings, cam lobes, etc.), transmission, suspension, etc. Ha, i went on as many long lunch pickups varying RPMs / speeds as much as possible in the beginning. It didn’t take long before reaching 1K miles. 😃

No wireless charging is 👎
Are those micro usb ports, c or b?

While the emergency triangles are not illegal, they are regulated by the US Department of Transportation just like the Euro clear side markers that many U.S. owner later install.

Edit: BMW ceased Euro delivery to U.S. customers in 2020.
It has to do with importation. Not the legality of a warning triangle. No personal property in personally imported vehicles. I have heard they have started making it through, but the shipper removed the fire extinguisher as well in my experience.

That's actually the exact combo of our first T development car! I love the combo. The Ice Grey is super dynamic and can look close to either Chalk or Dolomite Silver depending on light and angle. The green isn't super yellow/warm and leans a bit to the cool side anyway which I think goes with the Ice Grey very well. Sadly, we're saying goodbye to the manual car as it's being traded for a PDK T in Python Green.

I truly hope it sticks for you, but realize it’s a ping pong ball. 😜

When we started this forum we agreed no adverts.
If you allow one, then two, then five, then ten etc where does it end??
