Alpine White 1 series M Coupe (1M) iPhone pics

Finally seen in the flesh, thx for that!

A few blackened out pieces would make this even more of a charm (kidneys, side chrome thingie, exhaust tips, etc.) Big tossup between this and the VO, both look great in their own idiosyncratic way.

Looks sick!!

twenzel · 12-21-2010, 07:25 PM

Yes!, This appears to be a production car too.

You can see the rear PDC in these photos as well as the iDrive cupholder. Its a shame just cause I want iDrive I have to get those unsightly PDC little circles on my rear bumper

looks good... better than I thought, but my heart is still with BSM... I still think the flat paint does nothing for the car on that side view... the flares stand out more with the shadows casted by the metalic paint. If for some crazy reason I dont get my first choice, this will be it. VO is a bit... juvenile (IMHO).

MFLTPRZ · 12-21-2010, 07:42 PM

That is nice!!!

Can't wait to see one on the Autobahns here

positiveions · 12-21-2010, 07:43 PM

Now this color i can look at all day.

oasis3582 · 12-21-2010, 07:50 PM

This color would look so awesome with a CF Roof.

duk · 12-21-2010, 07:52 PM

that's awesomeeee

2045 · 12-21-2010, 07:56 PM

too bad the cf roof is not there...

GOLFFRR · 12-21-2010, 08:25 PM

looks great

WULFFZA · 12-21-2010, 08:35 PM

Yes SIR!
Love it, happy with my choice

definitely agree, the metallic paint seems to accentuate the flares and catch the light better than the flat white paint. Although I was initially set on AW, now SB and VO are growing on me, but the final verdict won't be made till I see all three colors in person.

...by which point all of the cars could conceivably be spoken for? Unless you have a deposit down...

I thought the white would show the vents and flares more, making it look perhaps a little more cartoonish? But it doesn't in these pics (though part of that could be the way it's lit). In any case I'm now leaning towards white...

MrRoboto · 12-21-2010, 09:13 PM

The grey around the gauges is terrible. Looks out of whack with the 3 digit numbers closer to the edge then the 2 digit. Should have left it all black.

I want to like this car but it is difficult. The front looks good because it resembles an M3. Having a hard time with the rest. Need to see it in person.

BMW1986 · 12-21-2010, 09:22 PM

Car looks sick in white! We had one customer at my dealership place his order today!

uhn2000 · 12-21-2010, 09:23 PM

Nice .. I like the 1er in white!

you can always apply laminate (fake) CF..

dardeca · 12-21-2010, 09:34 PM

I love the interior and the contrast stitching! Valencia orange would be my exterior color of choice.

I think me too or the white one (a bit less of visual cue for the cops)_... I like CF roof very much. However, my E92 is in interlagos blue, so the contrast for the roof is not very clear/vivid..

I know the wrap is no where near the real thing... but for now, that's the best thing I can find..

anyone knows where to find glossy CF wraps?? cheers.
