People should be getting them anyday now! I'm getting sick of waiting!!

pit1 · 10-08-2008, 02:12 PM

I think it's going to look fantastic. Honestly, aside from the exclusivity, I'm a little nervous I'll prefer it over my SGM.

Good luck fellas, can't wait to see it.

Mine arrived at the Prep Center in Port Hueneme earlier this week and I am scheduled to pick it up in Seattle on 10/17. It's sure difficult waiting. Mine has the coral interior, and I'm worried to death that the Space Gray/Coral color combo will look right.
There should be some delivered prior to mine, so please post photos for everyone else to see.

bman6074 · 10-08-2008, 02:42 PM

subscribed, this is the color i wanted and begged them to custom paint it but said it was to early for custom colors. and now its an option.

jayparry · 10-08-2008, 03:38 PM

Mine is on order... still 3-4 weeks. Space Grey and Taupe leatherette. Rest assured i will take a million angles. I cant belive my GF talked me into space grey when i havent even seen it....!

rodi · 10-08-2008, 04:15 PM

subscribing....

mine is in production now. at least i don't have a long wait.

DCD · 10-08-2008, 05:26 PM

Oh Maxfx, sounds like our cars will be the same. I'm getting Space Grey with Coral, but since NZ is so far away from everywhere, mine won't be arriving until 4/11. Apparently it missed a boat by a few days, as it should have gotten here around 20/10

I really hope that the SG and Coral suits as well..... If only my original car had been ordered right, I would have been driving it for months!!!!

pheller · 10-08-2008, 05:56 PM

I've seen it in person in Leipzig at the factory. It's a beautiful color on this car. If there was a choice when I ordered, I very well may have gone Space Gray rather than SGM.

Before seeing the space gray, I couldn't imagine there was any way I'd like it more than SGM.

Okay, DCD - we're in this together. I'll put up some photos after 10/17. I'm guessing there's a chance mine may be one of the first Space Gray/Coral combo's to land in the U.S.

bubble · 10-08-2008, 08:21 PM

I hope to have mine by the end of this week... Maybe the first of next week. I'll post as soon as I get it. HURRY UP!!

Addict...Nah Im A Junkie! · 10-08-2008, 11:54 PM

I think my friends might kill me if I tell them how amazing my new space grey 135 will be one more time.....if they do I'll never see it though

Kurvenfahrer · 10-09-2008, 01:58 AM

Some pics from a german forum:

bman6074 · 10-09-2008, 07:33 AM

mmmm I am not sure i am liking it now. I had a different picture in my mind. Hope my dealer gets one on the lot I would like to get a look in person.

Bruck · 10-09-2008, 07:40 AM

The space gray that I saw on an X5 looked just about that shade.. I think those are pretty accurate photos.

Addict...Nah Im A Junkie! · 10-09-2008, 10:26 AM

I agree with Bruck, that seems to be a rather accurate picture compared with the X5 and M3 I have seen in space grey.....I LOVE IT!!!!!

creepy coupe · 10-09-2008, 10:32 AM

Look's a lot like my old E46 in steel grey, love it, and would make it my colour of choice next time around.

The new nav screen looks a bit od though.

BimmerKid87 · 10-09-2008, 10:39 AM

how is it different than SMG..just a bit lighter?

BigBlue · 10-09-2008, 10:43 AM

Very nice looking!!!

SMG had a strong hint of purple IMO.

bubble · 10-09-2008, 11:03 AM

So glad to finally see the color on the car (besides what's available on the BMW website). I think I'll be pleased with my choice.

Zonian22 · 10-09-2008, 11:08 AM

I love that color on the sleek 3-series coupe, but I can't say the same for 1. Also, that nav screen just dosen't look right :iono:
