Wow the convert looks great in that last pic.

BForbes · 01-17-2008, 10:14 AM

Good Lord...I swear BMW knows voodoo or made a deal with the devil or something. I cant believe how much the conv grew on me....It looks great.

imported_Monza · 01-17-2008, 10:57 AM

Could you sit in any of them?

imported_sbw · 01-17-2008, 11:28 AM

I find both the coupe and cabrio much more impressive in-person. The 18-inch wheels and tires make a huge difference for me. Make the 1s look mean!

Exactly! This is one car that you HAVE to see in person. The 18s look huge in person and tiny in pics.

Is the car CR or Sedona?

That AW vert looks pretty hot. I guess AW looks hot on all BMW's

HAHAHA!! No kidding. I feel the same way about the coupe and conv. At first, I thought they were pretty good looking. Now, they're some of the hottest cars I've seen. Can't wait to see them in person.....

ARES45 · 01-17-2008, 08:57 PM

Is the 135 cashmere or whatever? Because I like the looks of that.

Was able to have a look/seat in the 135i yesterday at the Detroit show.

Gotta say, although the car may look better in person, Sedona looks worse.

That's too bad. I really wanted Sedona Red originally.

plien69 · 01-18-2008, 11:14 AM

Most people who have seen Sedona have done so at auto shows, previews, and the like, where the lighting is usually artificial and flourescent (or halogen, or LED, or sodium, etc.)

I have a feeling that Sedona looks dramatically different (hopefully better) in sunlight, and also changes depending on the time of day and angle of sunlight.

toosteeley · 01-18-2008, 11:47 AM

^ could be.

ChrisK · 01-18-2008, 02:48 PM

I'm not so sure. We have seen a few pictures outside that make the car look brown.

:iono:

It's just one of those colors that looks radically different in different light.

bryan@mwerks · 01-20-2008, 05:57 PM

The black/tan convertible looks simply amazing in person. I have to say that I think the convertible looks far more graceful than the coupe (at least with the top down).

ChrisK · 01-20-2008, 07:10 PM

Very nice! The 1 series is going to be huge for BMW.

Robert · 01-20-2008, 10:03 PM

I really dig the two tone beige leather. Does this option exist for priority 1?

Totally agree. It blows the lame taupe leather way out of the water.

ChrisK · 01-21-2008, 05:33 AM

Yeeahh...it would have been nice if I could have ordered Beige.
