Finally Many pics of Einers from Autospies

[mikeo]

I used to live in Half Moon Bay and many of those beach shots were taken between Santa Cruz and HMB.

Alpine White and Sedona look amazing. Easily the two best colors IMO.

Did the pink hue that Sedona is famed for under the showroom lights make the jump to the Crimson for the outdoor shots?:iono:

I love the SGM! I love the white too. It was really a toss-up for me.

I went with SGM because all of the other ones are gonna be white. :biggrin:

Hmm...I'm looking at the pics on my work comp now and the colors look a bit different than at home. I can't tell now if the car's black or monaco blue, but it looks more like black now. May need to readjust the home monitor settings...

The white is perfect. I do like the contrast of the sunroof as well.

Exactly! Hwy 17 up in the Coastal Range is famous (infamous?) for its twisties. Hwy 9 is more scenic though.

I believe the hotel is the Monterey Plaza Hotel http://www.montereyplazahotel.com (on Cannery Row). Where the cars are parked is for valet drop off, pick up and guest registration parking.

They all look soooooooooooooooooooooo good! :headbang:

It does look better on the coupe, but it is an awesome color. I personally have not seen a color I did not like.

The weird thing is I thought montego blue looked awesome in all of the previous pics I saw. But for some reason I dont really like it in this new album. I think its just a little too light for me. Def a very unique and eye catching color though :w00t:

[Templedogg]

It changes color a lot under direct sun, shade, or night. Even different lights at night will change the color a lot. Most of the time it looks a little darker than those direct sunlight shots....at least here in Seattle it does....

[gatorfast]

Yea I have seen it in on the 3 series...def looks better in person then in that pic.

I cant wait to see sedona red in person, it looks different in every picture I have seen!

Couldn't agree more. But best shots so far of the 1er in crimson red, which looks fantastic. Red replaces black as the new favorite.

[PaulUK]

The red looks awesome. I honestly thought that I would never ever think that again. But its superb.

Looks like it slid more towards Crimson, but it still has more of an orange hint to it. (Crimson in front, Sedona in the rear)

[Drawarms]

the one parked in front is crimson and the one in the back is sedona.

[Drawarms]

is that monaco blue all they way to the right?

Because I didn't want these:

1. headlight washers
2. side marker light on fender
3. rear headrests (big, thick, non-fold)

1. They are hidden
2. Been this way on BMW's since 1995
3. They fold

okay i've sobered up a bit now. are we certain about number 3 for US spec? if so, good news; however, these below look like the bulky type that don't fold (but can be physically pulled from the car).

I think, unfortunately, we're getting the chunky rear headrests. Since when have you known US DOT specs to allow for a sleeker, more elegant design?

If there are 2 versions of any equipment for the world at large, we're getting the uglier one.
