The M wheels are great, pictures do not do them justice though. I liked the normal sport wheels better until I saw the M wheels on a 135 in person.

Looks smokin' hot! You may be a trailblazer as that is the first SR/Lemon einser I've seen. Gotta love that Lemon.

If you haven't already done so make sure you pick up some leather interior wipes and store them somewhere in the vehicle. Trust me, they will come in handy at times.

And what's the deal with the Efficient Dynamics decal? I picked up via ED on 3 June and it didn't have that on my car.

Hard to read the entire decal from the pic, so what Efficient Dynamic facet(s) is the decal touting?

jspen · 06-29-2009, 11:47 AM

After seeing SR on your car the 1er available at the local dealership is very tempting. Has a lot of options I like just doesn't have leather (black 'ette) or an iPod or M sport just sport. I would have to get M sport wheels though cause those look great. Nice car!!!

I have no idea about the sticker...I pulled it off shortly after taking delivery

I couldn't be happier with the color. I never saw this color in-person before ordering it, but I'm so glad I took the chance now.

Yeah, this color definitely wouldn't pop as much if I had black interior. The Lemon is the icing on the cake for me.

IMO, just order it up...The wait is hard but well worth it in the end. You'll like the car for much longer if you order EXACTLY what you want.

BTW, the Grey Poplar trim really looks great with this color combo.

Lean and pristine, IMHO. I loaded up and one of the first things I thought when I sat in my new 135i was, "Wow, there's a lot of STUFF in here."

Nice color combo, too!

miro2296 · 06-29-2009, 01:08 PM

Sweet color combo! Congrats on your new ride!

If the nav was touch screen, it would be in the car!

BKScripto · 06-30-2009, 01:06 PM

Thanks for all the comments guys/gals! I am very happy with the car and color combo I went with. Lemon leather is beautiful!

If anyone wants Lemon and is doubting due to maintenance/upkeep, it really isn't that bad. It's harder to keep clean than black, obviously, but not much different than beige.
I've had several friends and family members in and out of the car the past few days and it still looks great.
I ALWAYS wear jeans (both dark and light) after work hours and weekends, and there has been NO color transfer. I purposely put on a new pair of jeans I had laying around just to see if the color would transfer onto the leather, non at all. These were a lighter color jean and were washed before wearing.

Also, the color of Lemon is not as white as it looks in most pictures, including my pics. It has a slight cream/beige hint to it which really makes it nice.

I hope this helps anyone who is contemplating Lemon interior for their future 135i.
