My new 128i

Bishop200 · 07-26-2009, 11:39 AM

Hi guys,
Picked-up my new 128i from the dealership yesterday morning. The car was ordered on May 26th and arrived on Wednesday of this week. The salesman said he had never seen one come through that quickly. (I am on the west coast of Canada). The car is fantastic and although I haven't driven it much yet, I can already tell how different rear wheel drive is compared to my Integra GSR. The car is beautifully made and after looking at Audi and Porsche prices, I think that they are very competitively priced.
So:
128i coupe, Bluewater metallic, taupe leatherette, Premium package (lights package, xenon, BMW assist, glass sunroof), Sports package (sport seats, sport suspension, 18" wheels 263s, max speed upgrade).

Nice car! I like the color. Congrats!

Congratulations! It looks great. I ordered my 128i vert on May 22nd and got delivery last Tuesday at the Performance Center. I've put on a little over 300 fun filled miles so far. Last night was a little party with family friends. Two car loads of mostly females enjoyed it throughly. Several had not ridden in a convertible before. One screamed through the first turn. Loads of fun.

Jim

nice choice!

Garduna · 07-26-2009, 12:27 PM

aww yea, bluewater! Goes quite nicely with those 128i 18" sports rims eh ;P

GreatDane · 07-26-2009, 12:52 PM

Awesome! Love the color!

ulrichd · 07-26-2009, 02:30 PM

Beautiful color combo. Congratulations.

DVDA · 07-26-2009, 02:53 PM

I heart the 128i Canadian Rims

j128i · 07-26-2009, 05:37 PM

Nice color, Congratulations!

'fatboy' · 07-26-2009, 05:40 PM

Great colour combo! it's certainly a rare colour but looks terrific on your car.

Bishop200 · 07-26-2009, 06:46 PM

Wow, thank you for all the compliments!
I can't believe that the wait is finally over.
I suspect that I won't be seeing myself coming and going in this car. There are very few 1 series in Victoria, and I am pretty sure that this is the only coupe in Bluewater.
I will post more shots in the photo section once I have the time.
Cheers.

Looks great!

I picked up my M-sport 128i at the Welt two weeks ago. It won't be redelivered to the USA for somewhere between 4-7 weeks. The wait is killing me.
