E91 First impressions and pics!

Quality pics! And nice stable you're building up.

Good to see you broke out some old glass for the photos.

I love fill flash, I use it almost everywhere...it really did a nice job on that photo, for sure!

My mother-in-law's first impression of me was when I let my wife's Bloodhound in the back of my then brand new Saab 9.3 (1994), there is no animal hairier and more slobbery than a bloodhound!

I recommend old sheets!!!

LEDZEP · 10-17-2005, 04:28 PM

Yep, old sheets are great. Or a couple of beach towels!

Waiting for the accessories for the wagon to be available so we can get the rubber mat for the rear floor.

I have the rubber mat for our e46. I don't have a dog but it's really handy for those trips to the garden shop. Ledzep, if get a chance could you take a shot of your mudflaps? Clear pictures of those are in short supply.

LEDZEP · 10-17-2005, 06:36 PM

Will do. Gee, what was I thinking not getting a close up of those! Paid enough for them

Thanks jwocky - still not quite what I was looking for. Location and light are everything. I wound up taking them at mid day and the background could have been better. Oh well... next time!

Wow! Nice pair LEDZEP!

I have my fingers crossed my spouse doesn't find this thread..otherwise I am in big trouble (he is currently looking to replace his Volvo wagon).

Nikki · 10-18-2005, 01:57 AM

It's so cute to see the two of them together,
they're like a couple.

LEDZEP · 10-19-2005, 09:51 AM

One of my favorite angles. For those interested in the black line tail lights - note that the wagon tails are different from the sedan.

StewtheBassman · 10-19-2005, 10:25 AM

Good mudflap pics too.

Broken1 · 10-19-2005, 10:54 AM

Any chance of "far away" pics of the raised tailgate, and also i believe you can just raise the glass? ;P (and of the open sunroof) :P

LEDZEP · 10-19-2005, 12:40 PM

Yes you can just raise the glass (and I raise a glass to you). That's one of my wife's favorite features. When you do, the sunshade automatically moves up out of the way. I'll have to plan another shoot and get some of those detailed photos for you.

Cripes! You're right. Bigger too. Hadn't noticed that...

Broken1 - sorry for the long delay, but here's a pic of the tail with just the glass open (a great feature). The cargo shade/cover automatically retracts upward to allow easy access.

StewtheBassman · 11-06-2005, 07:00 PM

Damn LED, you got the coolest plate IDs!

E90-4life · 11-06-2005, 07:51 PM

Led Zep,

Congrats on the second 3er! Looks lovely, love the different exterior colors but matching interiors, uber nice!
