I wish we got the 123d in Australia - I drive 40,000km a year!

Great looking car!

What do you think of the colour? Can you take some pictures at dusk?
(yes I was considering Sedona...but those constant colour changes...)

Thanks :biggrin:

I love the colour! I originally wanted SGM but when I saw the blue I had to have it instead. I'll see about some pictures in lower light...

--> Endre. Pictures of yours kept me going! I'm seriously tempted by the performance alloys after seeing your car.

Very Weird... Did you look at the French or even German BMW web sites? The Le Mans blue while still a metallic paint is more soft...dare I say, almost faded looking... then there's the Montego Blue which is what I have & is THE SAME AS YOUR SWEET MACHINE... Blue, BLUE!!! Then there's Monacco Blue which looks almost black...

What blows the big one is, It seems like you only have 1 choice of blue in the 123d class (or 120/135)
Wonder why they call it Le Mans in the UK when it's called Montego everywhere else???
