Went to the dealership today for test drive...

[groovyjay]

They had 2 coupes there, a sedona red just drove of for a test drive and they had a blue 135i in the show room... Didn't help my wait but made it even worse. Of course I had to sit it in... Man, it feels like forever to wait another 12 weeks!

Great post, thanks! I think this may be the first shot of a production Montego Blue 135i that I've seen. :w00t:

Any ideas as to why it's plugged in?

Efficient Dynamics... it's electric

I would say this is Le Mans.

It seems like in nearly every pic I see of the 135i there is a front license plate. I feel like I cant really get the full effect of the front end with the plate in the middle.

Great looking car regardless.

It was hooked to a battery charger for some reason. I never thought I would get so excited over a car, but I couldn't help grinning there thinking about driving my own car... :thumbup:

:w00t: When did you order yours? What other goodies did you get other than the M-kit? :headbang:

And BTW do you work for Finnair?

The obligatory "I think this is the other blue" post. :wink: Funny how neither color can be mentioned without someone disagreeing. You may be right, it's very difficult to tell in a showroom on a cellphone camera.

But we digress... whatever blue it is, it's hot!

[MihaSLO]

Well, I've seen fathers Le Mans blue 135i yesterday, and I'am 99,5% positive, that this is Le mans.

Ordered it on the 28th of December 2007. In addition to M-sport package I took:

Advantage package + automatic climate control
Hifi Loudspeaker system
Xenon lights
Lights package (this is a must!)
Green shade upper glass .. great finglish, everybody got it?! (siis vihreä tuulilasin yläreuna)
Turning headrests at backseat

Close.. parents worked for Finnair, captain and stewardess Probably know them. Classic heh..

Perhaps because they didn't want to kill the battery? Probably have a lot of people getting in and out, playing with the power seats, etc.
