Anyone know if we can get some inexpensive ceramic pads for this car to keep those wheels shiny??

BMW brake pads put out a lot of dust. A lot.

I concur... BMW brakes make for very dirty wheels... but these wheels look easier than others to clean....

That's been my experience as well, but damn it's worth it when you really have to step on them! I'm not sure if it's the pad material, or the rotors, or what exactly, but they do work well. I can only imagine how good the 135 is going to be with the hardware it gets.

WTF? Why did they put it on? Was this a dealer or factory option?

Also, can we get a shot of the door sill? Does it have the M badge?

No m badge on the door sill. I'm waiting to hear from the dealer if the console job was done by the dealer or the factory.

hooner35 · 03-17-2008, 03:30 PM

Congrats!
Looks great..

Cool thanks. Bummer on the door sill. Can we still get a shot of what we get? I haven't seen a shot of the US door sill yet.

Is this something you would put on?

AndyM · 03-17-2008, 04:06 PM

My local dealer got 3 1ers in today, a 128i, a 128 vert and a 135i. All three were non-nav cars and none of them had the 3rd cupholder or the slot for it.

The door sills just say BMW.

Splinterz88 · 03-17-2008, 04:37 PM

I think I saw you driving on Saturday on Haverford Road and it brought a big smile to my face. Congrats.
