Ton of lemans of late, too. Seems to go in phases and haven't seen a new white IS pop up on here in months it seems. If they let you put those go pros on, man will that be some awesome footage. Enjoy and have fun. You'll love it. |

Ever so slight hesitation
IS drivers: ever try to 'feather' the throttle from a dead stop and experience a split second hesitation that feels like it may stall, but it doesn't.

Yes, if you're driving 6mt, this is the wonderful clutch delay valve ruining your fun.

In all honesty, I wanted to go white with coral red but I decided that since I've had a few white sports cars before that it was time to have something that looks different. Plus, its incredibly hard to detail a white car.

Driving a mineral F30 loaner today. It's DARK! I guess I'm just so used to space.
In other news, I hate the F30. It feels like I'm steering with one of those playstation gran turismo steering wheels. I move my hands, the car changes direction, but there is no discernible connection between those two actions. I CAN, however, see how it's a brilliant car for many people. N20 is robust, gets good mileage, and the interior is much improved over the E90 in my opinion. But as I'm driving, everything just feels so programmed, which it is.

Interesting that you find it incredibly difficult to detail a white car. I think it is one of the easiest colors to keep looking good. Swirl marks don't show up nearly as much (but then maybe that makes them more difficult to find and remove?) and even when it's dirty it looks pretty clean..... I love the dark greys, as my last two cars were -- but it is frustrating to see the imperfections every time I look at the car. |

the F20 3-series is unbelievably BORING to drive. I can't even remember the last time i was so bored driving a car. It turned like a Camry...steered like an Chevy. Honestly, i was never much a fan of the Audi A4, but even the A4 feels better to drive than the 3-series. I thought the last 3-series was pretty boring to drive as well.....they've gone from bad to worse! |

Funny thing is, I was driving next to a 328 in mineral grey today on the way to work and I also swear it looks darker and different on that body style for some reason and I didn't like it. That may not make any sense at all, but I noticed that watching 335i video reviews before ordering that had ones in mineral grey. I test drove the F30 328 awhile back to see if I might want to wait for a 428 and I just absolutely hated it and was so bored beyond belief. I felt like the car didn't move unless I had it in DS mode and was really slamming the gas. In some ways the interior is better, but wish the screen were more seamlessly integrated as opposed to looking like an ipad was smashed into and jetting out the dash. Overall, I'll take our interiors over them. They're too trapezoidal and symmetrical and bland. Morning rant...while coffee hasn't kicked in yet. |

"The Sonoran Desert is a North American desert which covers large parts of the Southwestern United States in Arizona, California, Northwest Mexico in Sonora, Baja California, and Baja California Sur." Secondly, as I tried to give you the heads up, I was very shocked and pleasantly surprised how good it looks while completely dirty. I was worried it might be hard to keep looking good cause it's so dark, but it's been a pleasure and looks great while trashed....and even better when clean. =) In case nobody has been able to pick up on my subtleties, I am madly in love with mineral grey. I'd marry it if I could, and might be able to now in CA. =) |

Oh this mineral grey love-fest is just too much, people!
Keep it simple and go Alpine White. I love how it looks very white during the day, and very white at night. It is such a subtle difference. |

It's so rare to have some mineral grey love, so I shall savor it. I mean, it's no mini love-fest, but what is. And BP was in on both! |

According to Dr. Phil, the first step is admitting you have a problem. Then he'd throw in some odd southern colloquialism that would confuse me...like, we have a saying down here in Texas...you can lead a horse to water in the Sonoran Desert, but that don't mean he'll deal cards in your poker game!

I'm not feeling the convertible love, lately! There sure doesn't seem to be many of us out there. I know....we are slightly porkier than the svelte coupe, but on a sunny day or warm summer night, carving up the road with that sweet exhaust blaring right behind you.....can you feel it now?
Thought I'd refresh a few pics to try to stir up some interest and make sure the fat little brother isn't completely forgotten..... Delivery day with big brother: Now, don't you feel better for taking a minute to remember your little brother? I know I do. Any other 135is 'verts out there or on order??

I'm going to be checking her over every day or two just in case. Got a tiny white spot the size of a pinhead on the hood will have to take care of in the morning. For now she sits safe and sound in the garage, rims sparkling. And my body says, let's NOT do THAT again...although the special Einszett Cockpit Premium for my interior came today. =) |
