Nice find! Red leather + wood trim = fail. (IMO)

FrencgBoy · 01-30-2008, 12:08 AM

What's M-Tech about this cabrio? Except for the M logo on the door sill??

You took the words right out of my mouth. I think this is the first combo I've seen that I really don't like.

NJKSC27 · 01-30-2008, 05:22 AM

M door sills!!!!!!!!!!!

mateo · 01-30-2008, 05:47 AM

Wow that thing is nice isn't it.

ipp · 01-30-2008, 06:05 AM

No amber positions lights even though it's a US model?!

ChrisK · 01-30-2008, 06:46 AM

The Light Burl Walnut looks great!

mateo · 01-30-2008, 06:50 AM

^ I think you are on to something here.

ChrisK · 01-30-2008, 07:11 AM

It will look great with a black interior on my AW car :thumbup:

Hmmm. Weird.

This is a freak of a model though. It's a 128i (supposedly US only), but has clear corner? It has sport seats, but no sport shifter/steering wheel/wheels. It has a MPH speedo.

My guess is that this is not a US model, but whose model could it be, specced like that? The 128i tags on the back are throwing me off... Definitely raises more questions than answers for me.

BForbes · 01-30-2008, 08:32 AM

Those wheels are GOD-AWFUL..

ipp · 01-30-2008, 08:37 AM

I don't know how it is in the US, but in Europe headlight washers are mandatory with Xenons.

ChrisK · 01-30-2008, 08:45 AM

I do agree. Those wheels are terrible looking.

I was actually just going to say that they look pretty good for what is essentially a lower-tier (bottom-of-the-line) wheel. Still, the 1er really only looks "right" with 18s.

This is early pre-production style in Northern America

Found in the original thread.

jraymond · 01-30-2008, 09:12 AM

Wow, This car seems to be a euro-American version if there ever was such a thing (not to mention it threw up on itself).

I can't believe we finally see M-door sills yet, cannot confirm that this is US bound. Could it be Canada bound?

ChrisK · 01-30-2008, 09:20 AM

Well I am stocked since this is the first "real" picture I have seen of the light walnut trim. I just want my damn car!

It's a Mutant car!

Dave · 01-30-2008, 09:43 AM
