Clearly, you are mistaken and have doctored up a picture, cause when you go back a page and look at the picture I posted, you can CLEARLY see the 313s. Pfff. Seeee!

Well, I've joined the club, with my new carbon black 135is DCT! I just got the car on Saturday, it was sitting on my local dealer's lot here in Madison, WI and after I drove it, I jumped on it pretty quickly.

I also got hassled by a couple Scion xB-driving office park rent-a-cops while setting up this shot. Someone inside the building saw me moving my camera around outside and called them, because apparently the landlord doesn't like people taking pictures of the building and particularly the sign out front. I told them I was just taking pictures of my new car and want the glass in the background...they hung around for a while longer watching me move the car a foot here and foot there, then the camera, and finally decided it was cool to leave me alone. |

Wow, the sacrifices you make just to get the perfect shot. Looks like a fancy model shoot. I considered the carbon black and looked at it next to mineral grey before ordering and it's a really dynamic and interesting color. Very unique. At like a 45 degree angle in direct sun I swear I saw an entire rainbow of colors in the flecks.
Curious, do you have carbon black side mirrors or are they normal black? Everyone else will want to know your full options list as well, so I'll ask here for efficiency. Congrats again, you'll definitely love it, probably more and more with each day. |

Not sure about the mirrors, I'd have to check. Options are DCT, premium package, black leather w/ blue stitching, HK stereo, BMW Assist & heated seats. My gf and I went to an art fair out in the country the day after I got the car. This is the direct route, but you can get an idea of the not-at-all direct route I took home, while occasionally scaring the crap out of her. Not *too* much though. I'm spoiled with some great roads heading west out of Madison. I'm really impressed with the car, especially the DCT. This is actually the first car I've ever bought without a manual transmission. I also love all the fun noises the exhaust makes. Hopefully my neighbors don't mind too much! |

Thanks everyone for all the compliments! I checked the mirrors and they are carbon black like the rest of the car.

About to hit 1200 miles this week, can't wait to WOT. I know some of you have had a service performed at this mileage. What service do you recommend I have performed? (Oil, other fluids, etc.) thanks

Atlas, congrats on your new purchase! Your photo looks amazing - I had no idea that the carbon black would show that hint of blue.

I'm not to 1200 miles yet, but I'm thinking you almost HAVE to take it to the dealer. If you take it to an independent and then have any engine issues down the road, BMW could point to that service and say, "it was not recommended by us to do anything at 1200 miles; you did something and you did not have an authorized dealer perform the service, so BMW thinks that is the cause of the problem and chooses not to honor this repair under warranty...."
Is this overly cautious? Probably. But I think it is the only safe way to go. Anyone have an experience to support or counter this thinking? |
