I KNEW you were somewhere near ATL! I have a black loaner and it has pollen all over it too!
Yeah it's terrible. Scary thing is that it hasn't REALLY even started yet.

Check out ewflyer's posts on page 17 for a good look at the blue stitching and special floormats that come with that.

Congratulations!

I totally wanted to do the performance center delivery, but couldn't as part of a military sales purchase; I'm sure it would be a phenomenal experience to do that and a great way to rack up the break-in miles on the trip home.

Exterior detail day. Clean, clay, polish, Klasse AIO, P21s wax. Will get the interior leather another day, I'm beat!






Now that I've been back on the 313's and runflats for a while now, I have to say changing out the guide rods in the rear did the job for daily driving. Most of the rear end torque steer is gone. Putting the ///M subframe bushings have dropped off the priority list. Now, when on my winter's and non-runflats, I'd say the result was only 50% there. Considering I really only hit 4/10th's on the street, I'm happy. Autox in a week will determine the rest.

My wife and I ordered a Space Gray 135is last week. Only options are 6 speed, heated seats, and comfort access. The wait begins!

135is owners will want to pick up the new issue of "Bimmer" Magazine. You got the cover!

A near-purist amongst us!

Nicely done and congrats on resisting all the extra bells and whistles. I'll note that you checked the most important box...the "is" model. Plus points for the 6MT from this devoted fan. You'll love your ride!

Elwood, your side shot picture is stunning!

Did you Photoshop that at all? The way the grass seems out of focus and darker, makes me feel that something is going on. The photo looks more like a painted picture! If you "techniqued" that photo, by all means do share so we can all steal shamelessly to take similar photos of our rides.

Woohoo another SG! Similar spec, too, except no CA for me and plus leather.

Thinking about ordering one (just gotta send the deposit and sign the contract): this time a Vermilion red one, heated coral red leather, w/dct, --wish they'd have an lsd and a 'delete' option on the sunroof. I'm keeping the stripper AW n54, 6-Speed, no power, no leather, no nothing (it will be the beater/winter/grocery/beach/etc.) car.

Sedona red with coral? I'd be interested to see how that works together.

I once saw an Imola red E46 M3 w/red leather and always entertained the 'all red' look.

Well it'll be awesome. Enjoy the interminable wait! Hopefully this thread will provide some moral support.

Quick question, what color/shade of black are the mirrors on non-black cars? (Gloss black, jet black, black sapphire?) Trying to plan ahead for mods.

They look jet black to me (glossy with clear coat). Definitely not BSM.

A couple of quick questions, as i have ordered a 135is without seeing one in a couple of months.
1) Do the seats have adjustable thigh bolsters?
2) Can you roll the windows and sunroof by holding the unlock button for 2-3 seconds?
3) For those with iDrive, does the 135is have the performance display? If so what does it show/do?

Are there any other neat features that you like?
Thanks.

1. Yes to thigh extension. Rear side bolsters adjust also.
2. Yes
3. Performance display? Nothing I can find. Same as a regular 135i.

LeMans blue is contagious! Wife just informed me that her favorite color is now blue rather than red. Women! Just saying.

Going to place order tomorrow after work. Son decided to take over payments on N54 version (and get the equity free). I gave him the Evo last summer. Will give my other son the Mz3 this summer.
