A new Space Gray owner from NH

atomic837 · 06-16-2009, 11:35 PM

Although it took me a few weeks to get around to posting, I celebrated the delivery of my 09 Space Gray 135i at the end of May.

The car is awesome, and the power is scary... I've just passed the 1200 mile break-in and am beginning to stretch out the engine's legs a bit.

The first picture was taken during the car's christening on a spirited drive through the legendary Kancamagus Highway.

The second pic was taken shortly after the first (of many) Zaino treatments.

Congratulations and welcome! Are those the rims the 135 is now coming with?

good looks buddy. welcome to the forum. i gotta get myself up to the Kanc for a drive some day soon

make sure you keep an eye on this forum. we do a lot of events/shows/dinners/etc.

and yes baker, those split 5s are the new stock 18s for all 09 135s (i think), not just for the non-usa 1s like it was for 08

I thought those came with the M Sport package.

Zaino will help all those bugs come right off your bumper. Congrats on the new ride!!!!

Indeed, the double-spoke wheels are part of the M-Sport package (along with the anthracite headliner, M footrest and door sills). The Kanc pic is pre-Zaino, but the bugs gave me the biggest headache in trying to prepare the front bumper for the polish.

Hope to be able to attend one of the meets sometime.
