1st UK 1M on 1addicts!

spritle1010 · 05-06-2011, 01:11 AM

After spending a semester abroad, I wish I was fortunate enough to afford and drive a 1M in Europe. All the roundabouts and desolate roads in Belgium are awesome.

It does indeed and I'm glad to see it. One of the reasons I "gambled" on VO.

I was almost certainly going to change my order to AW until I was driving behind a dirty AW 135i and thought it showed the dirt as much as BSM.

Thanks agan Joe. I wish I had the time available to make the 3 hour round trip.

I've got a VO on the way. Your photos just made me a very happy man.

Congrats, and enjoy the car (and the wait!

)

Great pictures Joer, I can feel the excitment building.

As its arrived so early, are you having any bits and pieces added while its there?

Stratus650 · 05-06-2011, 05:08 AM

Congrats Joer!

It looks fantastic

T89 · 05-06-2011, 05:50 AM

Congrats! I'm really starting to like VO.

yes those a re a standard feature....in some of the car shows where the 1M was featured, you can see they aren't there, that was the case only for the show cars for some reason

The show cars didn't have xenon headlamps.

In the UK (at least), the law says xenon headlamps must have washers but halo don't.

as7920 · 05-06-2011, 02:41 PM

I was hoping they were under the square that pops out rather than the nipple like feature that is permanently there.

But the show cars don't look any different to Joe's do they?

The early cars without xenon's didn't have washers, check out the photos of the daytona pace car.

I was expecting hidden ones which pop put from a square in the bumper like this pictured in a blue coupe here:

Am i talking nonsense?

Cheers.

Is it just me or is the fuel filler door does not look it is lined up perfectly in one of the pics?
Congrats BTW.

I noticed that also but it looks ok in the other shots. Worth checking!

Probably can't out them because the extra cooling fins/heatsink/oil cooler hardware is placed there?

Thank you all!! Only three days to go now...!!!
