Never heard exhaust tips described as childish.

Now you heard....
Look again to e46 M3 exhaust they are sharply cutted not rolled like these, and bigger.

And David those are really halo's

Well I guess given the target market for the 1M, "childish" exhaust tips fit the bill.

Have you seen the new NY plates? NJ are gorgeous in comparison.

Living in NY the new plates are ugly but could work on VO! Yea and why no shell station!!

Touring · 01-24-2011, 12:09 PM

Man that thing looks cool. Get the same feeling as when I saw the 2002 in the 70-ies!

positiveions · 01-24-2011, 12:21 PM

so far, it looks commandable on the road.

TunedM2C · 01-24-2011, 12:25 PM

This person was stalking the car all day and well into the night. lol

With only 3 color choices, it's a shame BMW decided on this orange as the only non black/white option. Valencia Orange simply will not age well (i.e. initially will look cool, but will get old very quickly). Furthermore, it looks too much like Sedona Red.

Space Gray or Frozen Gray would have been awesome.

It does, on bad pictures. I guess it's hard to get that color right, especially with a point and shoot camera.

I'm missing some more professional photos of VO anyway. From people who try to make the car look on pictures like in reality. But besides the official marketing shots, most of pictures are crap and I don't take them for reference.

Goes to show that even the BMW staff knows that it makes no effing difference where you buy your gas.

Or maybe this car is for testing purposes and to be driven like real life- ie testing all fuel brands like a normal person would over time.

Shell is the best along with BP in my car though.

I like the headlight washers.

-=Hot|Ice=- · 01-24-2011, 02:15 PM

No xenons on an m car?

KingOfJericho · 01-24-2011, 02:16 PM

You guys have to use your noggins a bit... of course it will have xenon lights.

WULFFZA · 01-24-2011, 02:29 PM

+1 for Shell gas.

You guys should load the free iPhone App from Shell, works flawlessly in locating Shell stations near you.

Sight for sore eyes

so nice .. The color is so rich !!

Redadair · 01-24-2011, 05:28 PM

I must say the VO color is driving me crazy!!! In one photo i love it, the next it looks like the color of a Dodge mini van!

I really don't care for the copper look, as others have said I think it would be cool for about a week then start to look dated.

After seeing this set of real life pics I think I am headed back to White, , , Again.

e92sport · 01-24-2011, 05:38 PM

Wow, i cant wait to see one lowered...

SamS · 01-24-2011, 06:21 PM

I think I like the copper hue it presents in the dark, i.e. the first picture at the gas station.

But the bright orange that comes out in the sun is just a bit too much for me.
