Flipwit · 12-08-2011, 10:54 AM

picked up my car last night after 3 months of waiting, WELL IT WAS WORTH IT! and i'm even more in love with the exterior/interior color combo I chose. Man this car is a dream on wheels!

Thanks! I got a few compliments on it before I drove it off the lot, people really don't get to see this color often and it is truly a beautiful color. then you open the door and get all that nice two tone oyster leather on black with the black headliner... AH MAN can I get off work already to go home and DRIVE!

alexc93 · 12-08-2011, 06:32 PM

very niceee good luck keeping the seats clean

you need a no jeans rule!

Flipwit · 12-08-2011, 06:41 PM

i've heard that as an issue with the lemon, but not as bad with the oyster. BUT i do keep a supply of leather wipes in the trunk

mtechnik3 · 12-08-2011, 11:38 PM

Congrats and enjoy! Lovely color combo.

That was from SCBMW on Weds night correct?

Naoto · 12-09-2011, 06:48 AM

i like it

. that's probably the color combo i would have went with if i ordered one

P1 · 12-09-2011, 09:15 AM

Looks great! My wife's 135i has the lemon boston interior and we haven't had any issues with keeping the seats clean.

Enjoy in good health.

Yes it was. Ron Ryan took care of me there. Overall great experience.

Thanks for all the kind words, been doing my best to stay under 4500 rpm and vary the loads, but when shes all warmed up she SCREAMS at me to punch it, but i have to fight it off!

BallisticRedRaider · 12-09-2011, 01:13 PM

I got my car one week ago today at the PCD and have the exact same color combo including the interior trim. I love how the color changes depending on the light. Have gotten so many compliments on it.

Try to survive break-in and enjoy your One!

I'm doing my best. I've hit 5k once or twice without realizing it, but not for more than a second or two. Even at 1/2 - 3/4 throttle the get up and go is insane.

sweet combo, congrats!

Great color man.

MPowerF1 · 12-14-2011, 09:29 PM

Looks great, congrats! I was so committed to that color ever since I saw it on an E39 M5 years ago. But I've never owned a black car so I'm going for that for something different. Still looks great.

Flipwit · 12-15-2011, 04:34 PM

Thanks everyone. 400 miles on the odometer now, got a road trip planned to kill off the break in period as well!
