Black Sapphire with leaves

alex0180 · 03-24-2008, 02:30 PM

Here are two pics of my dirty car which I got on Friday, Can't wait for the weather to get better to take better shots.:biggrin: Black Sapphire with Coral red. I love this car.

joelk · 03-24-2008, 02:31 PM

beautiful! so does that picture adequately capture the coral red color? (i.e. is it that bright?)

congrats!

PaulUK · 03-24-2008, 02:52 PM

Its not quite as bright in the flesh. The red gets a little overexposed in pictures due to the amount of black in the cabin.

BMWhokie · 03-24-2008, 03:22 PM

Seems like everyone has a radar dector

alex0180 · 03-24-2008, 03:31 PM

Yea just like PaulUK36 said its not that bright, but it still catches your eye first. Yup the V1 should be an added option for these cars.

Motorsports_3 · 03-24-2008, 03:38 PM

Did you pick that car up from South? I think I saw it when placing my order.

alex0180 · 03-24-2008, 03:47 PM

Yes I did, I had the car moved to the back after I saw it.

The car looks fantastic in person...

alex0180 · 03-24-2008, 03:56 PM

Thank You, if you want to see an AW in person I still think Braman has one but with the terra brown interior. They also had the same car there but just didnt want to make a deal.

Nice to see another 1 here in South Florida. It seems like we're getting them earlier here than most places.

NovaBimmer · 03-24-2008, 04:58 PM

Those front wheels look a little dusty...a little hard braking already?

Sweet car.....congrats

Thanks, I bet just like everyone who already has there's I just can't wait to get in it and drive.

tiintegra · 03-24-2008, 09:33 PM

Hows the paddle shifting?

///MG · 03-24-2008, 09:53 PM

Great car, and dirty wheels indeed. BMW brake pads are notorious for producing massive brake dust immediately.

I can speak from experience when I say that the E46 19" OEM wheels did a phenomenal job of hiding brake dust. I could go 4 weeks without touching the wheels before any dirt would be noticeable.

Ceramic brake pads (or similar) would be a great investment for the 1er.. and not $$ at all.

TrojanBMW · 03-25-2008, 05:17 AM

Gorgeous pics. I'm biased over course because I ordered the same color combo.

I finally saw a Black Sapphire/Coral Red this weekend, and knew immediately that this was the right color combination.

IMO, this car needs metallic paint.

MVF4Rrider · 03-25-2008, 05:45 AM

Nice parking spot!

pumaknight · 03-25-2008, 06:36 AM

Sweet ride - I like!!

I concur on the brake dust - mine are thick and I haven't been braking that heavily!

black135 · 03-25-2008, 06:48 AM

nice combo, i ordered the same. Would love to see some pics when she's clean.

M3Newbie88 · 03-25-2008, 06:52 AM

Ordered the same thing with black trim.. (hopefully they dont miss out on that option) but with the 261m wheels.. so cant wait to get it.. especially now that I see yours..

alex0180 · 03-25-2008, 09:32 AM

Thanks for all the comments, yea I've noticed the brake dust more on my 135 then on my previous E90, The paddles are a dream but then again I'm holding back on ripping the car, darn 1200 mile brake in lol. I post some better clean pics hopefully soon. Seems like the weather is perfect for a photoshoot, The parking space is here at my work, but I gladly move it for thoses that really need it...like other 135's j/k

, and I too have to agree that BLK sapphire and red are the perfect combo wonder why....
