Thanks! Loving it!! Ordered new. It docked in January which I'm told is a very busy period for car deliveries. I think it took roughly 10 days from dock to dealer.

Here's another pic on a slightly different angle:

Congrats Wizzz, there's nothing like the delivery of a new Bimmer

(I like your stripes and the roof too.)

Thanks! Performance is great. Definitely feels punchier compared to my old E82 135i N54. Car is also a lot smoother and more refined. It actually feels like a totally different car. It's got the 8 Speed Auto. Roof is wrapped in gloss black. Had it done at the dealer at the same time as the stripes were being fitted pre delivery.

10 days from dock to delivery is awesome! Fingers crossed it's the same for me.

What colour is your interior?

I think it was about 10 days. Might have been more. I really can't remember as it ended up sitting at the dealership for a solid few weeks whilst I was selling my old 135i.

Interior is black.

Yeah, they're the 405M rims. Didn't like them initially until I saw that post. Will see if Andrew can do a good price.

Wizzzz, more photos please!

The car looks amazing it is different design direction something special and exclusive "sex and waterfall"

Remember all those speculations that E82 is ugly that E82 headlights are to big not aggressive.

And catch your self when you will see F20 turning your head 180 degrees to see what car was that. Again look here it is NEW GENERATION


And here


Now think again...

Congrats Wizzzz, your car def looks better than an all white I last saw at Parramatta. At the end of day, it's the driving experience which matters most and I'm sure you would have a ball! Enjoy mate!

The car is too narrow to have such massive headlights... the LCI fix later this year should resolve the looks hopefully
Ian, don't worry too much about what it looks like from the front, you should be getting used to what it looks like from the rear as this is all you 1M boys will be seeing

Hmmm it actually looks really nice. I think the black roof, skirts and stripe improved the look quite a bit.

The ZF auto is a great box, shame no DCT anymore.

Can't wait to see the 2 series Coupe.

I was going to ask what the back of a 1m looked like, as I've only ever see the front in my rear view mirror

But that might upset the beastly folk :
