More AW Picts here :)

ChrisK · 03-21-2008, 06:59 AM

I can't believe the weather in Chicago went from Sunny to a Snow storm. The 1er is in the garage until further notice.

Enjoy...

BForbes · 03-21-2008, 09:51 AM

I think I'm going to cry. These have to be one of the sweetest pics of the AW 135i to date. It just looks GREAT in a natural setting.

You are the first to notice it! :headbang:

silvrevo · 03-21-2008, 10:04 AM

I hear you guys are getting a foot of snow today,,,,,,,,,

FYIW,,,,, Snow tires are really really good with my 335i,, drives like a tank.

Snow on summer tires is a death wish for you and or your car.

Nice color and enjoy your new ride

ChrisK · 03-21-2008, 10:10 AM

:eyebulge: Thankfully not that much snow. It will be back to the 50's next week.

GatoGrande · 03-21-2008, 10:18 AM

The manual is great. A little notchy and the throw is a tad long. Both of which will improve over time. aka a short shift kit :biggrin:

GatoGrande · 03-21-2008, 10:35 AM

Hmmm.... I thought the shifter was suppose to be a short throw... I guess not. Let me know what short shift kit you are thinking about... I will likely want to do the same.

dclee1 · 03-21-2008, 10:37 AM

Nice Pics, Chris! This has been THE worst winter I can remember in a long time...

It's shorter than my 04 330 coupe, but not as short as my M Roadster was.
So far I have found nothing I don't like about this car.

No kidding! In all my years I don't remember one this bad. It wasn't a whopper snow fall like usually, it was this cycle crap of 3"-6" constantly.

I really feel bad for our cheese brothers in Wisconsin...they got killed this winter.

Here is a live shot from the front of my house....it was sunny and snow free yesterday when I took those picts above.

I'm soooo done with winter.

ErikB · 03-21-2008, 10:50 AM

nice! The walnut looks really good on black.

MastaMind · 03-21-2008, 11:03 AM

Hmmm....I don't see your BMW performance pedals in those pics. For shame! :wink:

I was unsure about the light burl walnut until the car showed up. It is actually darker than the pictures online (bmwusa.com), so I was quite happy!

I was already to swap it out for the aluminum. ...but I think it adds a touch of class to the interior.
