My wife just got her 2014 435i Xdrive M-Sport Sapphire Black. It's her dream car: I got it for her for her 50th birthday.

Got a couple of pics of it when we first got it & then more pics of it with tint, clear & winter wheel package.

She's loving it so far.

Welcome to the forums, and congratulations to you and your wife! What do you think of the way it drives?

 

[nielboy]

I haven't really had an opportunity to drive it yet.


Test driving one was great though.


She loves it....she's got a lead foot....like to get it going.


She's always commenting on how fast it is just in comfort mode.


The seatbelt concierge service is a weird tweak that takes some getting used to.

always liked how black on black looks, love it!

Neilboy. Are those new sets of rims? Is that the winter wheel package?

Ya the black rims are my wife's winter wheels.

I like your winter wheels

At least you didn't take the route some did with steelies and wheels that just shouldn't be on a car like this.

We've done the steelies in the past, but my wife wanted something that was a bit more dramatic this time. Anyone who's married knows the drill...she's happy...everyone's happy.


With the M-Performance brakes, you don't really have a choice; even some of the 18" options won't clear them.

Good choice.
When i was new to having my own car that was also the route i went till i discovered how much better and doable real wheels were
for some reason i had the belief wheels like those couldn't be used in winter.
