Very nice benz135. I have seen lowered 135's on this site and they dont look right. Yours looks pefect.

I plan to do a better photo shoot soon, but here's a quick few. Picked it up this afternoon. Will I get heat if I name him Adolph?

atr_hugo · 06-28-2008, 08:25 PM

Only if you paint a little moustache below the grille. ; -)

ptack · 06-28-2008, 08:42 PM

Fabulous car, but think a little harder on the name.

PA135i · 06-28-2008, 08:52 PM

Very nice. My car is less than 3 weeks away and it will look just like that.

That has to be the nicest SGM pic I have seen yet, and trust me, I've seen them all. I live on this website.

Seeing this pic makes me want my car even worse now. I should be taking delivery of my SGM before the end of the month.

PA135i · 07-11-2008, 07:48 PM

I've seen all the pics too. And my SGM is "at VPC" on OC now. I'll have my car before the end of next week.

SGM is the best color. It is classy, sporty and elegant. I love black, I have black now, but SGM is better.

Dazza · 07-13-2008, 04:08 AM

Am thinking of tinting my SGM when it finally arrives, October

Have only ever seen on pic of a tinted SGM, any others lying around. I suspect with black interior, and SGM outside, tint may be too drug-dealer for my linking.

TP 135i · 07-13-2008, 05:15 AM

Light tint ( 50% )

Just stick to a 50 % tint. Use a reflective tint,(not a mirror tint), it will make the paint job and the tint match as far as the gloss coating goes. Trust me it looks great. The non reflective tints look too drug dealer for me. Going with a 50 % tint will help to keep the interior somewhat cooler and classic yet not make your car a cop magnet.

There are a lot of great tints out there. I have always used http://www.formulaone.com/
premier tint and it looks great and I have never had any electronic interference with my cellphone and radio.
Just a suggestion.

Dazza · 07-14-2008, 06:47 AM

Cheers guys, maxiumum tint in Australia is 65% (35%VLT), which BMW offers, of course, as an optional extra, for $900 before pick up from stealership. The 50% looks great, wondering if 65% is pushing it, will keep looking out for SGM tinted, although not even seen any 1's on the street, despite first Aussie shipment of 500 sold out like hotcakes. :iono:

focusedsketch · 07-14-2008, 12:17 PM

1 of my favs taken a few weeks back. Enjoy.

BJDrew · 07-19-2008, 11:18 AM

I like that one - SGM is so sweet it can bring a tear to my eye.

Ahhhh, my original exterior color of choice......until I was told I was a week too late to order it and no more 2008s were allocated.

So now, I get a new 2009 with Space Gray. It is deep and dark enough, still looks very sharp.....can't hardly wait till October.
