My F10 BMW 535i xDrive needed a new valve cover gasket...
So I went ahead a upgraded the car entirely! Picked up a G01 Phytonic Blue BMW X3 M40i with Cognac Vernasca Leather. For an SUV, this thing MOVES! And helps me deal with Chicago potholes.

Congrats!
The color combo is amazing looking. Love a good darker blue with brown interior. Don't understand why more brands don't offer something like that.

Great looking! I was just building one this morning on bmwusa.com Like the blue and choice of interior color. 
Pretty hard to justify the cost difference to go with the X3M when the motor trend article I read said yours gives up very little in speed times to that model anyways.
edit: "It's the money that's the real kicker here. If you're in a hurry and need to hit 60 mph in under 4 seconds, then I guess you need an X3 M or X4 M. If you can spare an extra second, an X3 M40i will do it in 4.8 seconds, starts at $55,645, and gets 20/27/34 mpg city/highway/combined. But hey, it's your 15 grand plus gas to spend." Motor Trend

WOW man! congratulations! Beautiful. I was planning on buying one at the end of the year. My daily is the base model version, with a performance tune. Check out a few BMW forums. Most of them are really helpful. If you need coding done or looking for a reflash tune, contact codemycar

He went with the black leather and it has the blue stitching on the dash and it is GORGEOUS

One of my neighbors has one of these. He took me for a ride and I can attest to the fact that IT IS QUICK. I was shock at its acceleration. I liked the interior as well, which is not something I say often about BMW.

Two weeks ago my wife and I picked up a fully loaded 19 X3 M40i in Phytonic blue / black Vernasca seats (cooled seats). It's incredible! How's yours treating you?

I'm loving mine a lot, everyday driving it is just plain fun. Kick it into Sport Plus and it's even more fun. It's a good balance of SUV and sportiness. My dad enjoyed riding in mine that he picked up a 2019 X3 M40i, black on black. My brother got X3 envy a few months later and just picked up a 2020 X3 M40i. Haha, so we have 3 of these things in the family now.
