I did not see any threads on the Bernina Gray, so I figured I would open one for the individuals which are on the fence with this coloration. The amber impact does give it a reasonably brown/amber undertone in sure lighting conditions…
I am popping out of a Bluestone 5 sequence. The bluestone is extra cool blue/gray. Bernina is extra brown.
The M550i is a beast. As anticipated, fuel mileage is pretty low within the metropolis with spirited driving, however I am impressed with freeway mpg. I am getting about 26 mpg, which isn’t dangerous for a automotive with a lot energy. The suspension is by far probably the most compliant I’ve had, though I had the DHP on different fashions. Mine got here with the Pirelli P7 All Seasons, as I actually do not make the most of the “efficiency” set, and I desire having a sq. setup which will be rotated. Additionally they are likely to final about 20k miles, which is means higher than what I used to be in a position to get out of the staggered units previously.
Inside is similar as prior 5s I’ve had besides this has the ID7, which I used to be used to from my spouse’s X5. Total a pleasant improve, however there’s nothing actually earth shattering.
I’ve coded NGHB and LVD and a bunch of different settings already. Appears the energetic driving professional is barely higher than the prior gen.
I threw some 303 Graphene on there too. Fairly simple to use. Would not actually make the automotive very slick to the contact however it seems to be good and it will shield it for a number of months no less than.
Additionally put in my Max 360c and Blackvue cameras in there. Very pleased with the end result because it seems to be very clear. The 360c is wired to the mirror with a mirror faucet and it is on a Blendmount mirror mount. The Blackvue cameras you may’t see because it’s hidden behind the mirror. SunPass transponder was painted black and it is on the proper facet of the windshield, as soon as once more out of my view.
Tints are 5% throughout. 3M Ceramic. Readability is excellent. They’ve a slight brownish undertone as nicely, so by the way they do match the paint in sure lighting situations. I feel they match the automotive very nicely, particularly with the black rims and shadowline bundle.
The matte ash wooden can also be good. I am shocked that much more sellers do not order it on their vehicles. Once I was making the choice to order I could not discover one which had it so I may check out. It does have a touch of blue, however it’s superior at not being reflective and never choosing up fingerprints. I additionally bought the Alcantara headliner and actually prefer it.
I additionally put in the floating middle caps (OEM).
Total, very pleased with the best way every thing turned out. I in all probability ought to have gone with the ceramic controls, perhaps within the subsequent one…
