im so glad this is what i got :respekt:

ptack · 06-06-2008, 08:13 PM

Quite a few Savanna Beige interiors. It's a sharp combination and I'd do it if I thought it would hold up in the long run, but I know from experience what will happen in my case. I'm leaning Terra, but need to make up my mind. The order has to go in soon.

RobLS · 06-06-2008, 10:11 PM

I can't get over this color.

Coral l-o-v-e-s SGM....

(And yes, that is my "sold" sign on the dash....)

TagMan · 06-08-2008, 12:12 AM

I like this one...

Prediction: You're gonna love it.

Here's another shot, in the garage. Sorry for the mess & the oversized barbecue grill. SGM looks swoopy and sophisticated in all sorts of light, and the Coral interior is just enough of a kick in the head that people go "whoa!"

Dam - how'd you snag that IROC banner?

The IROC banner was a consolation prize from the Olde Days. What I really wanted to do was turn right on my way out of the infield at Mid-Ohio and take a post-race lap of my own. While I was explaining this deeply felt personal dream to Security, my buddy walked around behind him & got the banner.

I'm a sucker for all "Welcome Race Fans" banners, because they're always the first thing you see as you near an event. I make it a rule always to buy something from the very first restaurant/liquor store/convenient mart on the route to a race that's displaying a "Welcome Race Fans" banner.

My SGM 135i just left Stuttgart and I have about another month to go. These pictures are a mixed blessing. It's great to see it but makes the last few weeks of waiting take even longer.

M2 · 06-08-2008, 04:37 PM

Here is my favorite so far....

thesmokingone · 06-08-2008, 09:25 PM

love that savanna beige

stefan · 06-21-2008, 12:02 PM

Another in low light.

PA135i · 06-21-2008, 02:29 PM

Wow, just wow. I'm so glad I ordered SGM. I'm coming from Jet Black which I like but, wanted lower maintenance. SGM just looks classy and sharp.

benz135i · 06-21-2008, 11:14 PM

A couple for the thread.. Taken in the mid-morning light.. And slightly dirty..

And a couple more in my PCD Set

atr_hugo · 06-22-2008, 08:27 AM

That second shot really captures the color of the car well. Thanks!!

ptack · 06-22-2008, 09:15 AM

Hmm, I think the 261M wheel definitely looks better with SMG. I'm not at all sure it's worth an extra $1500 (in the US), but they are nicer. I'm going to use the stock 264s as winter wheels.
What to do, what to do? Hopefully **********s will finish test fitting the CSL reps for the 1 series soon and make that an option.

PA135i · 06-22-2008, 10:07 AM

I like the 264 wheels better. That car looks great as is. Mine is the same... when I get it mid-July (it's still sittting at the dock of bay)
For Winter I'll purchase 17's.

+1

When I first saw the 261M, I preferred them over the 264 to the point where I was seriously thinking about paying the premium for the 261M switch. Over time, I came to really appreciate the look of 264, especially with SGM.

ptack · 06-22-2008, 03:23 PM

Hey, what else can I do while waiting for mine to get built? How about imagining it with CSLs?

You know, I wasnt all that into the 128 but after seeing the pic's of your car I was floored. You took some really nice pics and of course you subject was quite nice too :-)

:thumbup:

JB135i · 06-23-2008, 05:22 PM

A couple pics with swapped grills. I went with Shadowline frames with the OEM chrome inserts.
