Okay pics thanx.
Just good to see it out and about and not in red.

joelk · 11-05-2007, 07:42 PM

thanks for posting!!!

the photos kinda suck in terms of their color balance or lighting (?); however i'm loving the car in black!

the back end looks pretty tight in that photo. (kinda a reverse fish-eye effect w/ the camera lens maybe)

gimmie. now. :roundel:

We get the same options on the 3er as well.

In Ontario, does the plate prefix of "AMKR" = Auto Maker?

Good pics! Thanks for posting. I noticed that car came equipped with the 2nd cupholder mount next to the shifter.

Ryephile · 11-05-2007, 09:01 PM

Diggin' the shadowline trim and the 261 style wheels! This is going to sound strange, but I like the orange front turn signals too; they make the headlight clusters look less like a scared cat.

Take off, I have a feeling lemon will be available as a Priority 1 option, eh?

No, dealer plates are red on white. The AMKR prefix indicates an older plate, it must have been transferred from another car; brand new plates are now starting with "B"s....

Tell me about it. I've recently joined e90post to see what E90 owners have done to remedy it. All I can say is wow... how much of a pain it will be to remove the inner amber reflector.

BMW really messed up on this one by not following the same route as the E46 and E92 with the bumper mounted reflectors.

jopali · 11-08-2007, 08:52 AM

i hate the amber in the headlights!!! it makes me want to vomit my gizzards into the gutter

Imola.ZHP · 11-08-2007, 09:13 AM

^ oh come on, its not that bad, there have definatly been worse cases of amber reflectors...

Will the folding mirrors just be a canadian thing? Or will this be US spec. too? I could have sworn I read the packages on the US spec. cars and do not remember that function...

Quite possibly ....
They did the same thing with the Z4M.
Canada gets folding mirrors standard,
US of A does not (not available as an option either)

phattbam · 11-08-2007, 11:44 AM

from the "official US" brochure it's part of the premium package... this is in reference to the folding mirrors...

Found them quite handy this summer on a few ferry crossings. (very tight quarters)
Also useful when washing the car... they don't hold water in them when tilted up.
