New Memeber, New Ride

arok · 09-11-2008, 02:55 AM

Hi Everyone,

I've been on the forums for a few weeks now. Picked up my baby on 08.26.08 from BMW Concord and I haven't regretted selling my G35 Coupe since :wink:.

Here's some quick pics I took in my garage structure...

But first, my old car:

And now the new!

Everyone's seen this interior

Sorry, very noisy picture, underexposed it quite a bit

Rear shot, BMW performance wing, CHECK!

Fits so nicely in my parking spot

I'm lovin' the wing, so subtle yet agressive

I love the angel eyes (GP Thunder 7500k on the way), BMW grills CHECK!

Very simple gauge cluster

Year One of the 1

And the best part, HUGE Brakes and awesome wheels

Next on the list... I ordered 18" CSL replicas from EAS today and should see them in 2 weeks. Then I'm debating between BMW performance suspension or another route... The car is my daily driver but I track 1-3 times a year.

Thanks for looking! :thumbup:

That car looks awesome! Nice pics...I, too, will have an AW 135i in my hands shortly...just have to make it out of Iraq and wait a month...I'm waiting on my production number now...

Great pics...love the angles and composition.
Can't wait to try out my wide-angle in about 7 days.

Is that first pic in san mateo? I know a shopping center right by a company I used to work for (Acxiom) which had a strip mall like that..like across the street from a food lion

Great shots too!

Yup, it's a Broadway convex and tinted rear view mirror. I've had that thing since my first car... I can see out the rear quarter window and all 4-5 lanes behind me on the freeway... So far it's been my "radar detector"

everyone for the welcome!
