I'm 50. Should I be going more conservative ? Acting my age for a change ?

I'm very happy with the colour combo. It looks great. A few people have said that in the back it's a little too red but I'm never in the back so I don't mind!
A bonus for me is that the interior doesn't get as hot in summer as a black interior does.

So overall I love it and don't have any regrets about getting the red. I am a little younger than you though!

A note though some people on this forum have said that it's a bit harder to maintain as some dark raw denim can stain it, but I haven't had any issues yet.

DCD,

Would you mind posting a few unedited pictures? Those pictures make Space Grey much more tempting over Alpine White for me, but I can't help but thinking I won't get get a car that really looks like that in real life. Hope you can help!

Hi syenisch here are some pics that I took myself of the car:

These are very quick though and just with a point and shoot I hope that helps!

The pics look like theyd make a VERY NICE post card!

1clean335i · 12-21-2008, 09:43 PM

that color looks great on the 1!

I am guessing you have an Automatic because I cannot imagine how much of a PITA it is to drive a Manual with flip-flops on....:wink:

Flip flops? Don't you mean jandals?

But the car is a manual, if you are talking about mine.

adrean8j · 01-08-2009, 05:02 PM

Wow...ok...Jandals then...LOL...still a PITA to drive with any type of "open-toed" footgear...

DCD · 01-08-2009, 05:37 PM

Ah I just had a look through the photos again and I see what you are saying, in that turning photo I'm actually not wearing shoes :P I was a bit confused I wasn't sure where the comments were coming from!

I had taken my shoes off while I was waiting around (hot, hot day and in a park, nothing like the grass between your toes

) and that pic is actually taken at very low speed in a carpark (5kph), with full lock and a long exposure.

I refuse to drive with flip flops/jandals. I think it's dangerous!

modbargains · 01-08-2009, 06:44 PM

Very nicely done.

LOL...ah ok then I was wondering! Still great photos though!:w00t:

sixpack · 01-08-2009, 09:20 PM

Absolutely awesome pics!

ALPINE6SPD · 01-12-2009, 02:18 PM

I cant wait to get my 135i with msport pack in May after seeing your car with those wheels on it. SG looks awesome. My 2nd favorite behind AW/CR.

Heh heh yeah a bit of camera trickery to get the shot rather than blasting around at high speeds

If I had left my shoes on I might have gotten away with it!

In the process of acquiring some gun metal grey Work VS-XX for the car. I think it will look incredible with darker wheels. I'll have to get some more pics up once I get those sorted but they won't be professional ones again!
I've started a thread in the wheels section with some pics of the wheels up against the car.

Monaco35Dream · 01-27-2009, 10:17 PM

those are beautiful pictures...stunning...

positiveions · 01-30-2009, 09:23 PM

nice color and great photos.

catch · 02-01-2009, 02:57 PM

awsome shoot! the carbon difussor looks amazing! the one thing the 135 should have had was a dual exhaust like the 335

xbook · 02-01-2009, 03:02 PM

Oooooh these are pretty. Tell your buddy nice pics.

But, I see something wrong. He screwed up the photoshop. Somehow he managed to put the wheel on the right side of the car, and he took away the amber lenses on your headlights

jameselee · 09-23-2010, 07:52 PM

Thanks for posting these incredible pics! I was fretting about getting Space Gray, but these really helped me see how nice it can look. I liked your car so much, I almost copied it!

SG7 · 09-23-2010, 08:09 PM

Nicee .. the space gray looks pretty good.
Wish there were more options for the interior trims.
