I am freaking out looking at that damn CSM car! I just ordered white! Those pics look great. I'm gonna type in a clipped way with exclamation points.

We received the same press release. Here is the full resolution photos

I didn't wanna seem like I'm spamming so I didn't post the link to our blog, but I'm assuming you know how you can find it.

There are more photos on there, feel free to paste them on here

Thanks Irv!!

Its a shame in NJ, its actually going to have a Front License Plate. Hate that about this state.

larryn · 02-12-2008, 06:51 PM

I find it very cool that BMW chose the two colors that, as swatches of color, would normally be the least impressive on a BMW. This car makes them work though. I'm shocked at this color looking as good as it does.

It would have been easy to make a black/gray/white/blue car look snazzy in press photos. They went with the "harder" colors to show... and pulled it off.

I ordered my cashmere (+ black simulated leather aka 'ette) 135i and proceeded to read post after post about how tan colored CSM looks in real life, very nearly deciding to switch to titanium silver before my prod# arrived...

...glad I stuck w/my 1st choice :wink:

As the cleaning lady on that Seinfeld episode exclaimed: "CASHMERE!!!" :thumbup:

that really does look good.. unfortunately i think its mostly from photoshopping in some contrast, bringing out the black accents. but thats still going to be a better color than anyone could have imagined, congrats rosky

I really think metallic paint brings out the curves in the car best. I mean it certainly looks good in white, but only time will tell which color is best for this car. It is certainly difficult to bring out those lines in the door. I originally though the long feature line helped bring things together, but now i think it may be the paint.

rosky1 · 02-13-2008, 06:09 AM

:w00t:Congrats to you airrek, for sticking with Cashmere as well. I almost switched to alpine white & believe those cars will be great- but I wanted something a bit different & believe the metallic color does show the car's lines very well. And light colors are so much easier to keep clean.
