Hope you got the Harmon Kardon system, I will say that when you get it set up just right along with a good source for audio, its absolutely amazing. And I'm comparing that to the B&W system in my M850i...

We did it first time 6.5 years ago. Got our flight cancelled at 5:50 pm from Philadelphia, got rental and got to the hotel there at 4 am... Still had fun!
Took no chance this time, left home early on Thursday, driving down there for 10 hours. Got full experience this time with Zentrum tour instead of factory visit (had it last time). Drove to Washington DC and spent a night downtown visiting museums on Saturday. Plan to do it again in 6 years.

First time getting black wheels. That was exactly the thought process: compliment the black trim and have 2 color scheme with red calipers accents.

Adaptive suspension and steering are standard now for 40i. No, I did not get HK sound. I feel no need for a high end audio and happy with the standard one.

Pulled all the chrome badges - replaced (some) with black chrome.

Also, little hard to believe a car of this level of tech, which has wireless charging and the ability to start and drive the car with your cellphone and a fingerprint - requires a cable for Car Play or Android Auto. So, $90 bucks for carlinkit will fix that.

And - work to doggie proof the car (though, there's really no such thing with my dogs). But...it's a start. Instead of WeatherTech - I'm going to try TuxMat for the front, went with Custom Mats for the back.

My wife’s Volvo XC60 requires the phone to be plugged in (just USB though) for CarPlay too. That’s a nice looking vehicle you got.

It just arrived. 3 separate packages in one. Bubble type unfortunately but super easy to push through unlike some other pills that I have. Here's a pic or two:

Thank you - technically the wife's car, I really only drive it when taking the pups out.

So - at this point, I'm not recommending the Carlinkit...screen keeps going blank when driving (disconnects then reconnects). Guess I need to check out their support on this. Maybe the car is too new for the software they have.

I buy 8 packs for the same reason. Pissed me off that Costco took all my grey ones and swapped them out for green too.

I have the AA Wireless version in my Tacoma, same crap whenever I am in a low cell service area. Makes no sense since it is a bluetooth connection?
