Thanks everyone.

Looks really nice. As much as we've seen this color, it looks really fresh in your pictures. Congrats!

SA135i · 03-18-2008, 10:28 AM

Yet another stunning example of Sedona in natural lighting. Congrats

I am so stoked, and to make things even better it's been confirmed today that I can collect mine next week Tuesday or Wednesday and not in mid-April as originally communicated.

Finally, the Sedona in what will be my natural environment, overcast! I'm a fellow PNWer. Looks real good and I'm glad I'm getting that color. I do notice a hint of orange in the second picture, left rear corner, though.

What color is the interior? Leather or not?

Congrats!

Thanks, this is the first non-white car I have ever owned! A bit of color is actually refreshing and I'm thrilled with this particular color. I had a friend equate the color to be almost like her "sexy" lipstick. Good or bad, take it for what it's worth.

Interior is black leather with gray poplar trim.

Hey congrats Gizmo!!

You are down in the South Waterfront in your car! I live over in the Merriwether towers down there. If you see some idiot in a blue M3 grinning like a moron and giving you a thumbs up, that's me!

Enjoy the toy!

Yup, thats me, I'm next door in the JR.

See you around...

Can you post a shot of the door sills?

gizmo · 03-18-2008, 05:45 PM

I'll post it up a bit later.

I've seen the 135i in Sedona inside a showroom this week, as well as a 128i in Sedona outside another dealership. Both cars looked fantastic, but the exterior shot was much, much better, in my opinion. Natural light does wonders on this car, I didn't see ANY of the "pinkish" tones that people have been talking about, it's clearly an orange-based color. Very, very unique, in my opinion.

Almost every car manufacturer under the sun has come out with their version of red/orange, and I believe BMW is the only company to nail it so far, IMO.

Nice1 · 03-19-2008, 07:12 PM

can you post pics of your black interior with the poplar trim? thanks!

gizmo · 03-19-2008, 11:18 PM

Sorry to everyone with picture requests, I'll take a few tomorrow when I have some lighting. My garage is rather dark. Hopefully by then my post count will be high enough to post them "in-line".

stefan · 03-20-2008, 12:13 AM

Shadowline trim makes a big difference... nice.

Ty Vil · 03-30-2008, 08:51 PM

Looks Great - we're going to have to fix those license plate frames though!

49ER ROLL · 03-30-2008, 09:15 PM

SWEET. Another very happy 135i owner.
