Spotted gunmetal grey 135 in the driveway of the place around the corner from where I live in Brunswick!

Spotted Dodgy's 135 once again!
Thanks for giving way to the car wash, but didn't end up washing. The place was packed.

Heheh...maybe those plates should read "BROKE"!!

BTW - haven't seen a single 1er coupe/vert in Perth for the last two weeks and I've been out on the roads a fair bit lately!

My pleasure. Only too happy to oblige for a fellow 1er. :headbang:

AussieRacer · 11-18-2008, 04:13 AM

Been spotting a $h!+ load of 1ers in the past week or so. Had a Sedona 135i next me at the servo last night. Seen a couple 135i verts - mainly in black.

Also spotted a SGM 125i with custom black euro plates parked a few streets away from me. Never spotted it there before...

Furo125i · 11-18-2008, 04:49 AM

me too.. I saw 125 coupe Silver on City Road and a 120 Black Vert just off Clarendon Street today, both within 10 mins..

SparklingRed · 11-18-2008, 05:26 AM

Spotted this hot car after work on Nicholson st.
Black vert in the background as well!

I didn't even know the 4 door M3 was available yet. Does anyone know?

cozza · 11-18-2008, 05:29 AM

The M3 is a BMW Press Car (give away is the "bmw.com.au" visible on the bottom of the number plate frame). They're not available for sale just yet.

SparklingRed · 11-18-2008, 05:35 AM

Yeah i noticed that!
The guy was picking up this girl in front of the MFB building.
Weird colour to be the press car I think.

cozza · 11-18-2008, 05:37 AM

The press cars come in all colours. We had a red M3 convertible a month or so back. It's awful in red!

Silver is alright, but this M3 had a tint of blue, like Blue water, I think it takes the aggressiveness out of it.

It's called Silverstone Blue, one of the 4 "race track" named colours specific to Mssssss. :wink:

I actually quite like it, it's different enough from the rest of the grey cars out there to appeal to me. The blue comes out quite nicely in sunlight too.

farug55 · 11-19-2008, 05:04 PM

I saw what looks exactly like this heading north on the Mitchell Fwy in Karrinyup this evening. It was a coupe though, looked real nice.

WAY · 11-22-2008, 09:31 AM

Yes M3 sedan is available now. $145k rrp but doesn't come with quite a few things that the coupe come with which is why they can price it $17k lower (to combat C63 in price).
