larger how? with the car filling the frame? as if the subject matter isn't obvious enough?

I was just joking. I realize that the background is important to it. Please upload as many pict of that car as you want my friend... !

Graphite is one of the most popular colors posted on here! There is an official sparkling graphite thread, or at least there was before the site merged.

gtaday51 · 02-08-2009, 06:46 PM

I havent found it. I havent even heard of another 1 other than mine in Graphite...even though they obviously exist.

Thanks man.

What's with the blurring of the pictures? I know a little blur can add an artistic effect, but looking at the above pictures actually gives me a bit of a headache. They look like nice pictures though.

rodi · 02-09-2009, 10:51 PM

on mine, it's because the lens is a tilt/shift. it's an acquired taste, i guess.

we exist...

Space Gray is absolutely one of the best colors! BUT... God help you if you need to get part of the car painted. My 2007 Space Gray 328i Coupe was dinged in a parking lot by a shopping car, so off to the local BMW dealer's body shop it went. After 3 tries... and them ultimately painting the entire driver's side of the car and part of the roof, not a 100% match and it looked very cloudy at night and on a rainy day.

My new 135i convertible is Jet Black!

Awesome! I just got an email from my dealer that it should be there on the 20th!!!!! Dunno what that means as far as when I can actually get the thing in my hands, but if I can manage to take a day off during the week to pic it up (dealership is 120 miles away), I'll do it!

Re: mods, I've been struggling with not ordering anything before my car gets here haha. I see you didn't quite make it.

Haha I definitely did not make it. I'm lucky all I got were the the angel eyes, I almost did a turbo back exhaust or rims

. One of those are going to be my next mod, then the other will me my third mod haha. Then I am going to consider the carbon fiber parts. I think there is enough contrast with the space gray and the CF after looking at the pictures at the beginning of this post.

My GF is getting me shadowline grills for my bday next month, and I def like the look of the CF spoiler. First things first though, since I live in TX, tint is the first thing on the agenda!

This car better not bankrupt me.
