125i Coupe Le-mans blue

BMWfan · 04-21-2008, 03:21 PM

The car finally arrived late last week. The weekend was spent driving around to show off to friends with a huge grin on my face!:biggrin:

This car may not have the acceleration of the 135i, but it feels hella quick and I haven't even pushed it past 4500rpm yet. The sports pack is a must for the seats and steering wheel. Best handling car I've ever driven and this is my 4th BMW.

In only 3 days and 350km, I've been given thumbs up by M3 drivers, had people come to chat about the car and ask questions when parking at shopping centres and noticed a group of attractive ladies peering into the windows while having lunch at a sidewalk cafe.

I can't even begin to imagine the sheer driving pleasure of a 135i...but I'm happy (for now) :roundel:

The next day..

hey dude cool car, have you been driving around centurion last week? Saw one last week but couldn't get close enough due to traffic

Still waiting for mine, the R10 a litre 120d.

Good looking car. Were Le-Mans Blue available in the states, that color may have challenged AW for popularity.

I drove past Centurion on the way back to JHB from the PTA dealership where I collected, but I didn't drive around in the area. I test drove the 120d a month ago (AW - manual) and it had awesomely smooth torque and acceleration...and so quiet inside. Enjoy and post pics when she arrives!

nice color!

Thats a beautiful color. If I was getting blue this would be my choice, IF I didn't live in the USA. Silly not having it in the USA.

It would be on a very short list with Alpine white.

Alpine white or Lemans blue. Alpine is it in northern IL USA.
