But lacking the place he improvised and pulled that off. Printed a 2x3 of it and have it in my office. Came out super nice.

I can't wait! So eager to have October come by already! I am completely torn between Long Beach Blue (which I love) and the Hockenheim Silver. I know LBB won't disappoint since I love it so much. Lately many of the new HS pics and videos have me pulled towards it. I have switched between both colors the same amount of times I switched on my M2 between LBB and Alpine White! I still have until September to switch it on the build sheet.

The silver will look good as well. Must be a difficult wait, but you've got your little 1er to see you through, and I think you have one of the nicest 1ers here on the forum.

The wait is part of the excitement also, went thru it with the M2. This one having ED will be even more exciting! The 1er is so much fun and I still drove it so much while having the M2 that it keeps me entertained! I love this car also. Thanks for the props on mine I appreciate it. I wanted to keep it simple and I had a lot of help from 1addicts just reading so much good info. It also helped that the shop who worked on it two of the guys there also have owned 1 series!

I would go with white, black silver or blue. Even the Sunset Orange still looks good although not as flashy as other oranges from BMW.

Never special ordered a car so that would alleviate that problem for me. Feel very lucky to have found my LeMans Blue 1er on the lot (fresh off the truck) with just the options I wanted. Absolutely love this color! If I was to order the car, this would be exactly how I would've ordered it. PS - I have some regret not getting iDrive though, just for the bimmer-tech backup camera. There are others, but the bimmer-tech one is as close to factory as you can get on the 1er. At least so far...

Buying used I can compromise.
1er came with no iDrive and manual seats. But I still liked the color combo and the fact it had active steering and was N55. Brand new ordering I put a lot of thought into it, and spec to my liking with no regrets! I know I will Love in either LBB or HS.

Another wonderful day at Summit Point! I can't believe the difference these tires have made (going from Kumho Ecsta PS31 to Firestone Firehawk Indy 500, and upsizing from 225's to 245's), it just grips and goes, and it's wonderful. I was among the faster cars out there, and was FINALLY able to hold off (until I goofed-up a turn) my dad, and passed a 911, a ZL1, a few Miatas, and a Mustang or two.
I must say, the amount of skid pad time I was able to get in this weekend was a huge help and really helped me feel out how the car was behaving in the corners, and helped me refine my line to suit my car. I'm also finding that the car is VERY balanced (especially compared to stock, which was an understeering mess of a coupe), and has some really good tendencies. It absorbs mid-corner bumps excellently, has strong turn-in and fantastic grip throughout the corner, has enough torque to pull you out of slow corners (even in 3rd, going about 20mph), and it just feels right to me; I'm really falling in love with the chassis, and how the car behaves now (the tires changed a lot), and I'm really interested to see how this soon-to-be-installed (THIS WEEK!!! ) LSD is going to tie it together... I'm in love. Again. BTW, Shenandoah is an awesome track, and this was BY FAR the most fun I've ever had at a track weekend... EDIT: This week, I'll be finishing up this LSD business and installing that gorgeous 100lb paperweight, and I'll get the oil changed since I broke 175k miles today... This thing just keeps trucking, and it hasn't ever skipped a beat.
