Just in case you weren't sick of seeing the 1er in all its glory under the showroom lights.

Templedogg · 03-13-2008, 01:49 PM

Thanks, not sure about those wheels though....

stefan · 03-13-2008, 01:49 PM

Yes.

.. but yeah.. no to the wheels!

john970 · 03-13-2008, 02:40 PM

What happened to the brake ducting where the fog lights would be?

jasyn · 03-13-2008, 02:40 PM

If I'm not mistaken, it can be seen in the close up of the brake duct.

HOLY S**T!! THAT CAR IS SOOOOO HOT!!!!

MrRoboto · 03-13-2008, 04:28 PM

Lol. Someone behind the wheel who is actually too small for the 135.

The more I see those wheels, the more I like them. The Canadian 128i sport package comes with those.

cbmw · 03-13-2008, 04:50 PM

pics don't work for me. I want to see them...

edit; now i can. and wow

Year1of1 · 03-13-2008, 10:05 PM

i'm really loving the SG, kinda wish i got it instead.

d3syd · 03-13-2008, 10:43 PM

Just noticed that the dynamic xenon lights actually are badged "BMW Dynamic Xenon". Cool

You and me both. I didn't like them originally, but they're growing. Hell, with a car that nice, you can pretty much put any wheels on and they'll look good.

imported_RodY · 03-14-2008, 02:15 AM

Same here I will have the same wheels with 128I Sports Package.
Not too bad.. Low Pro Tires look good. I canceled the red leather seats and went with black;doesn't look bad in this car.

TP 135i · 03-14-2008, 05:27 AM

Great pics.....thanks
Makes me glad I went with SGM
Although after looking at pictures for 3 months now I've grown to like all the 1er colors.....the just car looks good in any color.
I wonder if I'll ever see one in person..........I think with 1 week (I hope) to go the wait is harder than with 2 months to go.

TitoSkulls · 03-14-2008, 10:35 AM

Thanks for all the props ... I can't actually take credit for those pics ... my girlfriend was the one snapping those photos ... which is definitely a good thing. My abilities with a camera are certainly not worth writing home about.

After having seen this car at the auto show, I've been tormented as to whether I should make a last second change to my order from Savanna Beige to Coral Red. I didn't think I'd like the red, but it actually looked really good. My car is schedule for production this month, so I think trying to make changes at this point would be nearly impossible. I'm sure had I seen the Savanna Beige, I'd probably be in love with that one all over again. I'm sure this car is going to look great no matter what colour combination.

This wait is killing me!!

Yup. But I've seen the W spoke in 17" on the cabrio and they didn't so anything for me. Very glad they are 18" in the sport package...

I think I'm going to put that flooring in my garage. It looks so good with SGM on it.
