Almost a month with my ONE!

I took delivery of my Le Mans Blue 128i M-sport (6MT) almost a month ago and thought I'd share some pictures because there doesn't seem to be to many of these on here. I had a 3M clear bra put on the front of the car because I hate rock chips. I have a shadowline grill from Gravity Auto on order and am thinking of putting on shadowline grills. Any thoughts to how this would look with Le Mans Blue? I couldn't be happier with the car

Sweet looking ride! I love the LeMans blue. I'm thinking of getting a clear bra. How visible is it?

I am very happy with the results of the clear bra. It is completely invisible when standing a few feet back viewing the car from the front. It is slightly visible when standing at the doors at looking towards the hood. Overall, the slight visibility is a small price to pay for the protection it gives the front part of the car considering that I plan on keeping the car for quite some time.

Major Props on your acquisition and color choice (slightly biased of course).

As far as shadowline grills go there are a few LMB owners that have switched over including one at this linky.

As for me, I opted for color coded surrounds for just a smidge more of that LMB sweetness.

That picture was taken back at my parents house. The E46 is my dad's car and the E30 on the right is also mine. My dad is currently thinking about buying a 1-series convertible.

That looks good! I'm really going to have to think about it.

Sweet color choice and package Sam!! you'll LOVE the 1er! Did you get BMW performance gloss grills or aftermarket matte black grills? Either way IMO shadowline grills are a MUST on any color!! Since i think the stock grills look hideous LOL. Also nice move on getting the clear bra while the car is still fresh, i still wish i had one . I also noticed you're in the Central Coast area, i'm taking a little weekend vacation to Pismo this Sat and Sun

I'm still debating between the shadowline, matte black, or le mans blue grills but I will probably go with the shadowline. I also ordered a shadowline diffuser over a month ago but it still hasn't arrived yet Have fun in Pismo! I live in San Luis Obispo and the weather has been really nice lately.

Hehe! Cal Poly is my old alma mater! But originally born and razed (sic) in Monterey.

Enjoy your SLO ride.

Post pics once you've got the shadowline bits installed.

Go Mustangs! I graduate in a couple of months. I'll update the thread when I install the new grills and shadowline diffuser.

Nice. Early graduation gift, huh?

Don't submit your senior project almost too late like someone I know.
