Are those 261s on that blue thingy ?

darknightohio · 03-15-2008, 10:38 AM

Congrats, car looks great! Nice GT3 lurking in the back.

PUREPHAZED · 03-15-2008, 10:58 AM

Congrats, I like the colour!

bavarianbutcher · 03-15-2008, 11:10 AM

eh its a carver!

larryn · 03-15-2008, 11:30 AM

Very cool car. Congratulations. Now go drive. :smile:

That carver is plain strange though. I suppose for a city cruiser...

Good for you. Have fun you crazy Sedona Outlaw.

SpeedFrq · 03-15-2008, 11:57 AM

Sedona doesnt look too bad!

happywalmartcustomer · 03-15-2008, 12:39 PM

Nice looking car, congrats! I'm super jealous of the clear turn signals up front.

C_Topher · 03-15-2008, 03:05 PM

Is that taupe with burl walnut?

atr_hugo · 03-15-2008, 03:21 PM

Looks like taupe with gray poplar to me and an anthracite headliner too, but what do I know? ; -)

Well it's Beige (which I'm pretty sure is the same as Taupe in the US - actually, it's not beige at all and it is taupe, so why on earth they don't just call it that and be done with it is a mystery).

I wanted piano black trim, but it's not available here with this interior. I've got sick and tired of metal trim having had a few cars so trimmed recently, so I opted for the Poplar, somewhat reluctantly. It looks a bit brown in the pictures as it is reflecting the brickwork of my house.

I wanted something a little different from the norm, and I'm very happy with it - it gives something of a sophisticated feel to it and it all goes very well with the Sedona.

I've never really 'got' BMWs until now, but this car is already under my skin.

Yes it is. Thanks. For a while I had an RS4 and the GT3, now THAT was really quite a combo.

Too much overlap, though. This feels just right.

Advevo · 03-15-2008, 05:55 PM

I drove blowdog s GT3 once did some nice drifts with it.

GT3 is awesome machine but the 135i is very nice also.

ChesterDog · 03-16-2008, 04:01 AM

I believe Blowdog has now lost his heart to the new GTR.

ChesterDog · 03-16-2008, 10:07 AM

By way of getting back on topic, some more pictures, straight after its first wash. Oops, I forgot to shut the boot/trunk for the pics...

ChesterDog · 03-16-2008, 10:09 AM

..and yet more.

ChesterDog · 03-16-2008, 10:12 AM

Yes, you've guessed it...

ChesterDog · 03-16-2008, 10:13 AM

And finally...
