who wants performance side skirts? already painted by IND. PM me

[thez99]

Id love em, but #1 Im currently broke pretty much, #2 Wtf to do with my stockers...and #3 Id be scared of having these shipped, ive heard horror stories about skirts being shipped and cracked, etc.

/end o rant

Gud luck

[UdubBadger]

well...
1. I can't help you there
2. you save your old ones (like i did) for when you sell the car...
3. theyre being shipped by IND so they'll be packaged well. I got um from tischer w/o an issue. That's also why you insure your shipments.

It's been a while since someone added a DSB to this page... so allow me. This is a pic taken of my DSB/Terracotta 2012 BMW 135i at the BMW Zentrum in Spartanburg, SC. A mere 9 miles were on the clock when this shot was taken. Sorry it's a cellphone pic... but it still shows some gorgeous colours. The second one was taken at the top of the Cherohala skyway. I posted this in another forum, but this was taken with a much better camera and thus really shows off the DSB. I love that one

To all you DSB owners: I'm about to place an order for my 2012 1-coupe and I'm between DSB metallic/Black for the exterior w/ Terracotta interior. I absolutely LOVE DSB in sunlight; it's stunning. However, in PHOTOS when it's in shade it looks flat/dark/ugly? Is this true in person?

Thanks,

Ryan

well if you read this thread in its entirety you'll form a conclusion to not trust photos of this paint and just go into a dealership and look at the color on the car or the paint sample in the brochure with your own eyes instead.

I had a 135i before in DSB and the color is stunning! In fact, my car is currently at the dealer being serviced and the loaner I was given is a 328i in DSB, which reminds me of how much I used to like the color - it's a very dynamic blue depending on lighting conditions, but never dull/flat/ugly in my opinion.

As suggested above, best thing is to see it in person.

+1. In fact the only colour I think looks better on the 1'er is actually Valencia Orange

Seriously, DSB is just incredible. And every single person who's seen my car (when it's washed) has commented on the deep sea blue exterior with terracotta interior and said it is a beautiful combination.

The combo I have was pretty much sight unseen. While I'd seen the DSB on a 5'er, I had actually never seen the Terracotta in person before I took delivery. I had seen Saddle Brown (which is what I ordered in my M3 before I got the 135i) and liked it; the Terracotta though looks richer to my eye and less yellow.

[dt373621]

the color just pops and enhances the cars contour and lines..receieve compliments all the time on the color choice...a rare bird!

[dt373621]

looks like a blueberry color in the shade..just amazing (named her berry for short)

[Gray_Panther]

Just picked it up!! Best color ever!



We need to get this topic stickied like the rest of the colors

I am considering getting a 128i MSport, but getting a set of those wheels for it (Style 269 I believe).

Any more DSB out there, or any previous posters update? Looking for some inspiration while deciding on a color for my future 1.
