Pics look aweomse Wolf. I was going to make the comment about Park Royal as well.

And, BTW, I would push for the shadowline trim. On SGM it'll look good. If it comes with chrome on my TiAg it might not be that noticeable.

I would think they could be ordered from a Canadian BMW dealer?

All you down south who want the sills could buy a Canadian car... think of them as $6.5K door sills

Bringinthewolf · 05-08-2008, 06:42 PM

Better yet, I'll sell you my sills for $6500.
BTW, it's closer to $10,000 spread for my car.

Makes the wait not so boring..
3.5 weeks to go..

Hi Katera,
In Oz when you order the M Sport pack you get the same wheels and door entry sills..:thumbup:

sunking420 · 05-08-2008, 07:29 PM

Outasight baby,yeeaaaaaahhhh. You got your MOJO!!!! Great car for a guy who has one of the coolest screen names on this site. Enjoy!!!!! Remember, it's not miles(km) per gallon, it's smiles per miles. Be safe and have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zuzu · 05-08-2008, 07:36 PM

My dealer told me on the 135i vert there is no shadowline trim..
In Oz that is..
Where were you expecting to see the shadow line?

wikidpete · 05-08-2008, 08:20 PM

Pictures look great and those door sills are very nice, also the matching M Shifter and Brake Handle nice finishing touch!!! :thumbup:

IUpod · 05-08-2008, 09:58 PM

Looking at the pics I just shouted, "Why would you get a convertible in Vancouver?!" but my friend wisely shouted back, "the same reason you'd get a RWD car when you live ontop of a snowy mountain." (me) He makes a good point.

That was not a knock on VAN. (I LOVE the place and am quite possibly going to move there.) There aren't that many sunny days but it's no worse than my choice. I live up in a neighborhood where I still had 4 feet of snow in my yard in April. I have a 4-mile 14%-grade snowy hill to climb to get home. I had an STi for that but I was stupid enough to replace it with a 1 so I have no room to talk.

Car looks good.

That interior combo looks nice!

The car is spec'ed with the High-gloss shadow line as part of the M sport package in Canada.

Door sills are the same in the UK and rest of Europe too. I am pretty sure that the US is the only place NOT to get them.

I am another S2000 driver, just sold my 2nd S2000 after 5 years with them. Gutted to see her go, but can't wait to pick up my new 1er in 2 weeks!

I know that I will miss the raw driving experience and I am already wanting to put the roof down and go for a drive (it's mid 70's here at the moment).

Nice car though, keep the chrome, really suits it!
