Real life photo of space grey PLEASE

Pol · 11-10-2008, 08:42 AM

I doubt whether to take the Spacegrey with black leather seats or with red ones ??? Because I wonder if an interior with black seats and black roof is not too dark without a sliding- or sunroof ??

It really depends on how much you like the red interior, and if you want to pay for leather over leatherette.

Last saturday i drove a Black one with red leather and I realy liked it, imo the perfect combination. But after 2 black cars I would like to change colors and now prefer the spacegrey. I also prefer the real leather but I still wonder if the combination Spacegrey-Red should be as successful as Black-Red.

Addict...Nah Im A Junkie! · 11-10-2008, 09:23 AM

There are a couple of pic's on this thread of the combination that look pretty good. If you liked it with black paint and red leather, you'll probably like it with space grey and red leather too.

especially if you tint the windows!!!

Pol · 11-10-2008, 10:03 AM

Yes, of course, the red is splendid. Actually I drive a black Z3 Coupe with the red leather. Personally I find the red of the 135i even more magnificent. It is still a bit more fierce. And yes the windows will be tinted.

DCD · 11-10-2008, 05:31 PM

It's here!!!
I went and saw it yesterday ohhhh man I'm excited now!
I would have gotten some pics but it was all parked in and I couldn't get a decent angle.
I just got a call now telling me that they have fitted the CF diffuser, mirrors and shadowline grills and are working on the spoiler now.
Fingers crossed it's ready today or tomorrow!!!!

Oh and my car has the new 09 iDrive in it

i vote that maxfx should post more photos.
kthanks.

maxfx · 11-12-2008, 12:00 AM

Okay, I heard that rodi, so will try to oblige soon. I just mounted my snow tires. They're MSW Type 15 with Michelin X-Ice 2 tires, and actually look decent IMHO.

And congrats to DCD on your car finally arriving! I'm looking forward to photos, so please don't forget us here.

Cheers!

Quick iphone shot: Space Grey on Taupe w/ black trim. I took a gamble on the color combo having never seen space grey in person on a 1-series and especially not in combination with taupe interior but it is actually VERY sophisticated.

rodi · 11-12-2008, 12:19 PM

nice.
of the front? of the back? both at angles and straight on?

let's see them, people! i can't wait until next week to shoot them myself. hah.

DCD · 11-12-2008, 05:42 PM

Went and saw it last night to get the rego so I can insure it.
Took a quick snap on my phone. Should pick it up tonight

rdr2go · 11-12-2008, 06:06 PM

Congrats. It is beautiful. Looks "VERY sophisticated". Luv the color. Please when you get a chance take some int pics, also include interior roof. I hadn't thought about that before, until it was mentioned black int gets you black roof.

If red int, off white ceiling??
Taupe=what color?
Thx,

Addict...Nah Im A Junkie! · 11-12-2008, 06:10 PM

Love it!!!

Hopefully · 11-17-2008, 04:19 PM

Fantastic pic rodi, love that garage and the lighting. Congrats for the car. Am still a b s o l u t e l y happy about my own one and the color choice. Time flies, it's been two months already and 7'000 km on the clock.

Cheers

Nice pic rodi!!!
That looks incredible. I talked to my mate he's going to do a set of my car in a few weeks

I can't wait to see what it looks like with a real photographer taking the pics!

I got my car tinted on the weekend too I'll have to put some pics up when I get a chance.
