The wait is over...

2K2 DNA · 08-24-2008, 02:30 PM

Picked up my long awaited 135i on Thursday the 21st and haven't had a chance to sit in front of the computer long enough to post, but here it is. My gosh, I am so blessed to own and truly grateful to have such an incredible vehicle. Simply the most awesome car I've ever onwed!!

Had a JB/Black Boston/High Gloss 135i vert loaner while waiting on my 1 and started having second thoughts about my choice in leather (wasn't too keen on the all black. Glacier trim would have been a nice contrasting element in such a dark interior -- but I digress) Seen my share of SGM/Coral/Glacier on this forum but never in person so I started questioning my decision while driving the loaner UNTIL I saw my car for the first time at the dealership. I was stoked!

No more worries, definitely NO regrets and sure I'll be happy with my decision for a long while!

Thanks to all who participated in helping me endure the wait with your incredible pics and commentary. Proud to be a member of this forum and amugest the greatest group of enthusiasts around!

Cheers to all my fellow 1 owners present and future, enjoy your cars in good health and for many years to come! :drinking:

Congrats..........Looks great :thumbup: :roundel:
How about some pics showing the coral interior and the SGM in the same shot.

Redbeemer · 08-24-2008, 03:05 PM

Congratulations! A very sharp looking machine. Would also love to see the interior with the coral. Best wishes...enjoy your new ride!!!

and no front plate - nice.
Do you need one in Texas? If so, I wonder of you could put it below the bumper.

Yes, but I haven't had one on any of my cars in the 20 years I've been in Houston and only pulled over once and given a warning.

I will however, order the same kit Katera order for his 1 in case I get pulled over and told to fix it.

Thank you! Believe it or not, its 25% -- the legal limit in Texas for front windows. Thought about going darker in the back but decided to go with 25% all around. Think it looks darker in some of the shots due to resizing of the pics for posting.

Sorry, not sure I understand your question. Can you elaborate on "auto-store" -- in relation to what? :iono:
