Maybe dorks are attracted to the 1-series.

Considering I created an event called Dorkfest I think I qualify as a huge dork.

I had an 06 SAAB 95 Aero (260hp), that was a fun car... the next car I had was a 335i coupé which was an absolute blast. but when I went back to school had to be a bit more realistic. So I got a 128i, which is definitely more than adequate, you never need the endless power of the 35 cars... That being said I generally get over 40 UK MPG on the highway without being the least bit careful with the 128i.

So here are some crappy iphone pics. I don't get to see the car till tomorrow evening. I will take some better pictures and post them. Surprisingly, the terra interior looks better IMO (appears darker) than some other pictures I have seen.
Can't wait to sit in it and drive this baby!!!

We had a 9-3 till about 2005. Ok car, but no comparison to a 135.

Did your 1er arrive?

ssedha · 06-04-2012, 08:22 AM

Yes. It did. But I was traveling for work, so I didn't get to fully drive it till yesterday

I will be taking some better pictures and posting them here. I absolutely love the Terracotta interior with AW. During the day, it looks fantastic. I've already received a couple comments on the interior.

ssedha · 06-04-2012, 03:51 PM

Some more pictures taken from my iphone. It's amazing how the interior can look different depending on how the light strikes. But maybe this can be another addition to AW with Terra Interior...

Enjoy

Congratulations. That car must have been a customer order.

I believe it was. The original owner did a ED on this car. But I don't think I can picture this car with the coral red interior. I liked the Red interior (when I test drove a DCT at Midwestern Auto Group in Columbus), but the terra just won my heart over. I personally think it's the best combination with AW there is.

This car is just a blast to drive. I've managed to keep my leaded foot in check so far. Ironically, I was driving my sister's CC, and I got pulled over for speeding on that!!!
