Introducing me and my 2009 Space Grey 125i Coupe
Hi everyone!
I’ve been watching this site for the last couple of months however life has been so busy that this is the first time I’ve had time to post. I wanted to introduce myself and my new beast. Traded my 2004 Mazda 3 in for a 2009 125i Coupe five weeks ago yesterday and have been having an absolute blast driving her! I’m too impatient and couldn’t wait for a new car built to specification so purchased a ‘demo’ from Kloster BMW in Newcastle which only had 100km on the clock. As you could imagine the drive up to collect her was the longest trip to Newcastle EVER! While the trip back to Sydney took no time at all Specs: '09 BMW 125i Coupe | Auto | Space Grey Metallic | Black Leather | M Sport Kit | Sunroof | 18" Double Spoke 261 | iPod | Tint-A-Car Midnight Express Tint 1 Week old: Taken this weekend, showing the tinted windows Took her down to Jervis Bay over the long weekend and loved every KM travelled even though double demits were in force. Love the Kiama Bends She’s now officially broken in - ticked over 2000km on the way home. My initial thoughts
Greg

Thanks Tj303! The midnight express was great value for money last month with their $100 cash off - came to $275. To be honest I have never listed to the radio so can't say whether it interferes sorry.

Thanks Spacegrey. You've answered a question I've been struggling with the last couple days. I've ordered my car in space grey, but had never actually seen one in the 125i, so I was very close to changing to black sapphire metallic. However, after seeing the photos of your car I was blown away. I HAVE to get the space grey now. That looks H.A.W.T. hawt!!!
Now, the question remains - do I stick with the standard M Sports 17" wheels, or get the 261's?

Congrats! The shit-eating grin doesn't go away, so get ready for sore grin muscles.
The growl still gets to me a year later. What's amazing about this car is that whether you're energized or tired, it rewards you. |

Having used Midnight Express of another (one with the aerial in the rear windscreen glass), it doesn't affect your FM reception. However, it plays havoc if you're an AM listener (thankfully, I only listen to AM when the cricket is on, which is rare, as I'm usually plonked in front of the TV when the matches are on).

I ordered my space grey without even seeing pictures of one back in Nov 2008. Trust me, it looks even better in real life |

What an upgrade from a Mazda 3! Did you have an SP23?
I think the steering on this thing will be heavier. My wife used to have a silver SP23 sedan. It is way more luxury and more refine in a 125i me think.
