Pic of new 125i

SB1 · 05-14-2009, 02:57 AM

Here are a few pics of my new 125i taken at Regent's Park in London. It's not looking very clean but it rains a lot here. I've only had it for a week but I'm loving it so far! It's the perfect blend of sportiness and refinement and you don't see too many on the road here (whereas 3-series coupes are a dime a dozen). Was worried that without the M-Sports package the car would look a bit weedy but I think the 18 inch alloys give it a sufficiently athletic stance

. Would have liked xenons but felt they were charging too much for them (seems a bit cheap not to include them as standard).

- 125i
- Black Sapphire Metallic paint
- Beige Boston leather
- Dark Grey Poplar wood inserts
- W263 18 inch alloys
- Heated seats
- BMW Professional radio
- BMW Business loudspeaker system
- USB audio interface

Very nice SB1, your light interior really lifts the look, I'd like to see the wood inserts close up.

I like those wheel on the 125i. I don't think they offer them in the US. BTW Congrats on the car!

That's the sport package wheel for Canada as well, I believe. Looks good but I wouldn't want to clean the brake dust off it

+1 seriously, that would be a pain!

Congrats on the car - I miss driving on the "wrong" side of the car

(even though it's the right side).

Know what you mean about the brake dust. But when you're speccing a new car there's a tendency to go for form over function!

Looks great...congrats... very elegant..especially in a Regent's Park setting too. I got a lift home from my dealer in a similar spec one the other day and was almost prompted to change my order from LMB to the black...it is lovely. Well done.

dubdemand · 07-22-2009, 05:38 AM

Very nice! You're right about the 18'' wheels - they really help it!

also, I completely agree with you on the cost of xenons... I have already pushed the limits of my company car costs beyond whats allowed and still don't have leather or xenons!!!

Really nice, poplar wood looks nice with the beige leather and those wheels look super
