SG U.S. 135i Coupe in Europe :) Lots of pics

Jackbmw · 06-30-2008, 03:42 PM

First of all, I must admit that the car from the pics does not belong to me.

I just had a chance to make a few pictures of it when it stood in my neighbourhood. Best wishes for the owner

I really like the clean front bumper and U. S. orange position lights in front. They make the car look so exotic here in Europe. I wish it was possible to order an U. S. spec 1 Series here in Europe

Here pictures:

Stalker LOL.... awesome pictures. Its always interesting to see how in Europe the US accents are exotic, but in the US a lot of us find features like yellow front corner lights displeasing maybe I should apperciate them a lil more : ) I also find it intresting that in germany/europe they find it ok to badge M/sport bmw with a M badge. kinda intresting...

RobLS · 06-30-2008, 05:40 PM

Friggin awesome

Brandon26pdx · 06-30-2008, 06:11 PM

Ironically most people in North America prefer the white-lens look that comes stock in Europe. Whatever you can't have I guess...

ichiban · 06-30-2008, 06:30 PM

I would be more than happy to hook you up with some exoticness. Just ship me euro headlights and i'll express mine back to u!

Awesome car, awesome pics :smile:

imported_Sam · 06-30-2008, 07:33 PM

Why does the car have AZ plates on in Europe?:iono:

rocketpop · 06-30-2008, 08:16 PM

Thats one hell of a drive from AZ.

FD911 · 06-30-2008, 08:45 PM

why was it the only car with rain on it? Does a dark cloud always loom over that car?

Slay0r · 06-30-2008, 08:45 PM

just across the pond,...lol

Why can't you? If you're military you sure can. There's probably some way if your not, too.

Yep, just ship your car here and drive it, that's the way.

PUREPHAZED · 07-01-2008, 01:42 AM

I've been nabbed! Wondering when this
would occur. Anyways, I am not in the
military and it's a semi-long story.

but its mine. PM me we can have a beer!

Cheers,

PS: I live on Liststr.

Steve135i · 07-01-2008, 09:25 AM

Very nice photos. Lucky.

PUREPHAZED · 07-01-2008, 09:37 AM

thank you! and thank Jackbmw for the photos. I am going to give it
a proper photo shoot in the coming weeks. Also plan on going to
BMW Welt this month so she can visit her brothers and sisters.

I simply love this car. One of the best of 2008 hands down.

Best,
M

Ok, that's pretty cool. What are the odds of the Photographer and the owner getting together?

Feel free to share your story, the board is getting a little boring with all the I modded this and that stuff. How about more on where we are going, what we are doing and pictures of it? I hate to see this board go the way of E90 post.

Jackbmw · 07-02-2008, 12:42 PM

It was very nice to meet Mark in person and see his car again

We talked almost one hour about different aspects of owning a Bimmer, not only the 1 Series. There are so many problems to discuss

Probably we will meet the next week and drink some beer :drinking:
:biggrin:

I was also very happy to have a chance to speak English after a longer break.

Long live the Bimmers :roundel:

Why do you have AZ plates?

Basically, it came down to cost and how long I was going to stay in Europe.
I brought the car in as an ex-pat which I can have in Europe for 1 year.

Insurance Is a tad expensive but works out in euro to dollar exchange.

I ordered the car in January----Delivered March 23rd----On another Boat----
Picked up in Felixstowe on May 29th...

If you have anymore questions please PM me.

Cheers,

M

Nice pics. Do the mirrors automatically fold when parked?

No. I wish they did with CA. When parking on the street here people respect
your cars bumpers. we have 100k porches on the street.
