Wow. The grille looks proportionate in person I swear.
Please ensure you open the photos as most are taken in portrait. I really wanted to show how amazing the headlights look up close and the 3D taillights. The fit and finish of the interior is a massive step up from the previous generation, the centre screen is well positioned, super responsive and super hi res. This particular car is being shipped around the world for preview, and I was so surprised after seeing it in person. I too was someone whom did not like the larger kidney grills. But after seeing it in person, this car will sell like hot cakes. It looks mean... *Spec guide attached Enjoy Last edited by ljb; 09-18-2018 at 06:48 AM.. |

Thanks ljb!
Great Pictures. First time I have ever seen non-Merino seats in real life photos... This is exactly the combination I have ordered -- Vernasca leather 'coffee' and fineline stripe brown. So great to see that this looks just as good as the Merino. I am sure Merino will feel softer but I wanted the sport seats and the Vernasca will probably be more durable. (you can already see the first wrinkles in the shot of the front seat) |

Keep in mind the car had 200 people lining up too sit inside. It's well worn already. |

Thanks. I'm just about to order a mineral white M50d. I have never seen a mineral white m50d before so this helped me in my decision.

Hopefully we will all know more once the reviews come out in a couple more weeks. The seats below are multi-contour and have massive looking side bolsters (which can be moved in and out). You can see on the photos above of the standard seats there are no controls on the side of the seat to adjust the bolsters to hold you tighter.

Not sure. But there is no "Comfort Seat" option on the G05. Just the Luxury Seating Package in the US which adds: More seat adjustments (multi-contour seats), front seat massage, and ventilation.

explanation from another thread:
Comfort seats also known as Multi-Contour Seats are all Automatic. Head rest, upper part of the back rest / seats adjust forward and back, side bolsters adjust automatically, and the thigh bolsters adjust automatically. Sports seats ( standard on US Msport cars ) are similar to the comfort seats AKA multi-contour seats. Only differences are manual thigh adjustment, upper part of the back rest / seat does not adjust, and side bolsters do not adjust. If you want ventilated or massage it would be part of another package but same seat as MC or Comfort but just with holes.

I drove an X3 M40i with the comfort seats and what I disliked most about that vehicle is that in sharp turns, the small bolsters didn't provide enough support. |

I believe sports seat comes as standard seats in Australia and it is shown in the attachment. The adjustment of the sports seat is not as many as you can see on the current F15 comfort seats. BTW, I believe the car I am taken the photo is the same vehicle to the original poster LJB. |

This is the first time I really like the grill, maybe is the satin finish on the outer rim
