My New Saphire Black 135

PDZ01 · 03-29-2008, 08:51 AM

Hey All,

I just took delivery on my 135i yesterday. I haven't seen any others with the terra interior and saphire black so I thought I'd post some pictures of it for all to see. This car is awesome! To those going to Bear Mountain next week, my car and I will see you there.

Congrats Paul. The Terra on Black looks great - nice choice. Get some tint on those windows and it'll really look somethin'!

I'm so jealous of you Amercians getting your cars already! We have to wait for months yet...

Great. That color combo is starting to grow on me. But I MUST get Alpine. My black car drives me nuts. I don't have a garage, so its always in the elements. But I might get the Terra. I was considering Coral, but many friends say it looks TOO pimp. Either black or Terra leather???

SWEET ride man...love that combo too...Im getting the terra for my AW but cant decide on the trim. Is that grey poplar, if so can you post some more interior pics.

Thanks man

Yes, that's gray poplar. When I get from my cruise this afternoon, I'll post some close-ups of the poplar. It's darker than I thought it would be and looks really nice.

I've been waiting to see pics of this combo. Do you think that you could take full car pics with the door open? I want to see how the terra and saphire contrast each other. Thanks

PDZ01 · 03-29-2008, 04:24 PM

Here's an interior shot and a picture of how the gray poplar looks.

TunedM2C · 03-29-2008, 09:54 PM

Anymore exterior shots?

joelk · 03-29-2008, 09:58 PM

congrats on the new car man!

however, i think something might be not quite calibrated with your camera because my grey poplar trim looks absolutely nothing like that. yours doesn't even look grey at all.

nice car though! congrats again.

In the sun it actually does look a bit like that - test drove one today w/ it. The wood catches the light and it can look off black.

I am amazed at the quality of the wood panel. Nice priority one option!

Thud · 03-30-2008, 08:31 AM

Yeah the gray poplar looks more brown in those pictures. Nice look interior, that's the combo I ordered (with SGM exterior)

PDZ01 · 03-30-2008, 09:25 AM

Yeah, there was a lot of sun when I took the picture. I'll try to photo it in the garage or maybe tomorrow when it rains. I've got to be careful with this car. I was passing someone today at what I thought was a gentle speed but I looked down at speedo and it registered 97! The car was nowhere near breaking a sweat.

imported_sbw · 03-30-2008, 11:28 AM

Looks good! Although I'm not too into the grey poplar.

Brandon26pdx · 03-30-2008, 04:15 PM

The grey poplar looks really brown for some reason?
