Seems like you put a lot of thought in all the details. Beautiful car! What are those mats you got? Are they weathertech? I've heard mixed reviews on them even though my prior experience was great.

thank you.. yes, thought and pain during the waiting process.

front row are weathertech all season mats -- used on 5 cars now .. LOVE them..

2nd row is BWM floor liner... i like it because it covers the middle .

trunk - bmw cargo mat.

Tastefully done! Congrats.
Stellar job on the hitch. BMW site says the hitch does not work with the aero kit. Evidently not true...

well, I had to have the body shop make a cutout.. and the bottom plate is missing otherwise i wouldnt have access to the pin.

i am surprised why BMW cant make a removable panel for the hitch and the plug.. seems so easy.

Since you have the cleanest install of a trailer hitch, could you take pictures next time you hook something up to it so we can see how you are still able to hook up all the connectors? I'd love to convince my dealer to make the minimal cuts you made, but I'm worried they'll object it won't work and I'd like to show them it does.

Are the rola cross bars relatively easy to add and remove (e.g., special allen wrench)? I usually take mine off if I don't have bikes on the roof (though it looks like you use the traileer hitch for bikes/skis)
