Not a big deal, but you could always turn the camera resolution down to two stars instead of 6. :biggrin:

Thanks for the pics! :w00t:

Hey wolf, yeah they put the sticker on the back and I didn't see your car but when I took delivery a nice red Ferrari 360 Spider was parked next to my car

It had 4 kms on the odo on delivery. Thanks for all the good comments!

Honestly how many folks who visit the forums are using 56k these days. No need for that warning. Next time just say "ridiculously large images inside"

If you are using XP go to the link below and download the image resize. Simple 'right click' tool.

I believe they will, with a hefty price to come with it. I believe they are required to re-route the car to the individual bay for paint.

you can ask them to remove the sticker!! I'm sure you didn't buy the car to drive around advertising for BJ.

awesome pics btw

Disasterpiece · 05-02-2008, 08:31 PM

...Pic resize FTW.

TagMan · 05-02-2008, 08:51 PM

I like Montego, but that Le Mans is even nicer, IMHO.

BTW, must be the first time I've ever seen actual life-size photos on any forum.

LOL!

I use a 26" HD widescreen monitor, and those pics were freakin' gigantic!

raisemyrent · 05-02-2008, 09:33 PM

lol
they;re good for wallpapers I guess
I like how Le Mans Blue makes the blue in the BMW logo stand out

vanbmw · 05-02-2008, 09:59 PM

PHASE... the car looks great. Nice pictures. Did Jessel do a nice detail job for you? Any swirl marks on the paint or did they do it right. Mine should be arriving at Jessel anytime...very excited!

PhAzE · 05-03-2008, 01:58 AM

Jessel did a pretty good detailing job but I might have to clay the trunk a bit and the left rear quarter panel since there are a few marks. Very hard to spot, but I can see em

BMW Dreamer · 05-03-2008, 05:24 AM

WOW, talk about clear close pic's. Cool, what detail...

M3_Dust · 05-05-2008, 02:11 PM

LeMans blue is the best color on a car ever for my taste. It is unfortunate that BMW paint quality has declined substantially, the orange peel is a real disappointment. I am also really opposed to the ///M doorsils on this car, they are only diminishing the significance of the ///M brand by using the logos for marketing on a car that was not designed by the motorsports division.

still, a great car and I am envious

BMWDave · 05-06-2008, 08:25 PM

Fantastic shots. Can't wait to get my LMB 135i coupe when it finally reaches Oz!
