Giant Merged Commemorative Book & Certificate of Authenticity Thread - It's All Here!

[hansenc]

Wow sweet!

[Oregon]

Outstanding. With any luck more owners of the earliest delivered cars will be receiving theirs as well. How many pages is the volume?

[ruffstik]

My production date was 01/08 - wonder what certificate number mine will be:smile:

[E82tt6]

Woot! Looks like people started getting theirs today

[plien69]

119 numbered pages, plus 12 or so "Notes" pages at the end where you're supposed to jot down your "stories" with your 1.

[plien69]

It's a very nice book, quite good quality. As someone else mentioned, the hardcover is covered in a soft leather(-like?) material.

Each Chapter heading page is protected by a sheet of paper vellum. Still, my page 88-89 is smudged from the printing process, it seems.

AWESOME I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SimonB]

I'm so jealous

Some more pictures of some of the more interesting pages/pics:






Note that the tread pattern is not that of the RE050A, however.




This one is a really nice 2 page spread

EspressoBoy

[Nice1]

That is sweet! I hope BMW does not do piecemeal releases of the book. Can't wait for mine!

[60Driver]

Great looking book. Too bad they put your VIN sticker in crooked. Damn I hate my attention to detail. Regardless, I can't wait for mine.

its interesting that the hand-drawing in one of the pics shows the car with a low sloping roof like the e92. wonder who made the call to 'raise the roof'

Taking a guess, it was someone thats at least 6' tall.

Wow so it does exist...

So yours was the 6th commercial 1er made? Impressive.

What if 135i do have wheels of this offset. :-)

I don't think the certificate sequence matches the production sequence. I had a production date of Feb 22, and I think production of US-bound 1ers started in early January.

I'm also pretty certain more than 6 people took delivery of their 1s prior to me on March 26. There were probably 4 or 5 before me here on 1addicts alone.

I don't know how I got to be #6, honestly.

I think it would be great to have a thread that updates with a list of owners with certificate numbers in order. I haven't received my book as yet so someone else can start the thread if they wish. Might do a copy/paste approach or better if someone has an idea.

Call

agreed. I show the book to those who come in looking at a 1 series. Everyone loves it

I got my book in the mail yesterday... very nice and classy looking...

[RXC135i]

I was told by my CA that the book/certificate didn't apply to military sales purchases; somehow they are seperate from BMWNA. Has anyone else heard this? Don't get it, so we get the start button ring but no book. Has anyone else been told this?:iono:
