Certainly some pics available, see above
The 40 was never on my radar as I was lucky enough to have some powerful BMWs in recent years. It was the 50 or wait until I could afford and / or get a 50. Having driven both, the 40 is lovely but the 50 is a different beast. Steering setup is completely different in the 50 as it’s less vague. The 40 had little to no feedback. If it’s a drivers car you want get the 50. As mentioned in lots of posts here the spec difference makes up most of the money difference bar about 4k and most drivers drivers would defo want that spec anyway. Also if you are PCPing the car which is what I always do then the residual valeted is higher so you aren’t necessarily paying the difference in payments, maybe half the difference in payments.
speeking to my dealer yesterday as a friend was asking, they can get a 40 by late September if ordered now but a 50 would be q1 23 and that’s not a Jan delivery just a Q1 delivery and apparently those books will close soon as there are so many pre ordered for next year. He says Q2/3 will be the default soon.
very happy with my spec choice. Being honest the laser lights are probably overkill for what I need but glad I got them, the parking cameras are a huge thing for such a precious car. The upgraded leather transforms the comfort.
the drive recorder and remote view are poor, they need to upgrade the functionality of them as the competitor is streets ahead with sentry mode and all that. If they want I am sure an OTA update could sort that.
I am disappointed the front camera doesn’t come on at t junctions etc like the iX does but I didn’t go for the full tech pack so maybe it’s a function of that and that would be my only regret then.
I have noticed full power is defo reduced once the charge goes down so any fast starts aren’t as fast imo. I don’t know at what % it reduces it but it defo seems to which I get.
delighted I stuck with 19s, the ride quality, noise and range aren’t worth it for me with that add on strip over the rear arches. It’s a personal thing.
In short if you can wait to get an M50 get one, if you can’t and you go for a 40 you won’t be disappointed though.

Picked up the car this morning... salesman was a good guy, despite all the hassle (for him, and me and the detailer) he's been diplomatic, professional and all in all very fair to deal with.
The sales manager on the other hand, an absolute ignorant, aggressive and rude pr*** - I will never ever purchase another vehicle from the same dealer as long as he is there - the way he talked to me on the phone makes me wonder about his ability to operate under any kind of pressure but my dealings with him are done now thankfully.
Car is awesome to drive, really enjoying it so far, will post re range when I've done some decent mileage. Few pics below.
