Vancouver, BC anyone?

Saphire1 · 05-30-2008, 04:51 PM

Downtown Van here.. still waiting for mine.

I've seen someones white one coming over Lions Gate a couple times. Two Sedona's dt. and a silver cab off of lonsdale.

Do you think there is goin to be as many 1's as the 335i's? I seem to see one every 4 cars..lol

Before I ordered mine, I came across 4 Sedona 135i's in stock, 2 at Brian Jessel, 1 at Park Shore, and 1 at BMW store. I love it and ordered my 128 in Sedona, but it worries me that there are a few too many Sedona's in Vancouver. They're quite rare in the US from what I've seen on this forum.

1ATTIC, nice. Is that picture near the Vancouver Golf Club?

1ATTIC · 05-31-2008, 11:01 AM

No, not the Golf Club. Pretty close though, it's in front of my house in Coquitlam.

warmtoes · 05-31-2008, 03:00 PM

Yeah, I figured it was somewhere near there. I'm in Coquitlam too but put Vancouver for my location cause no one knows where it is let alone know how to pronounce it.

I'll keep my eye out for you. Mine will be here in a few weeks. There's a black 128i vert that's always near Mariner.

I don't think it'll be a common color, a lot of dealers have it because every dealership was pre-configured a couple Sedona's as it's supposedly the marquee color.

1ATTIC · 05-31-2008, 03:56 PM

I'll watch out for you Warmtoes. I've seen the black cab on Austin and on Mariner as well. I'm in the same neighbourhood, and I think she lives nearby.

warmtoes · 05-31-2008, 05:37 PM

I'm just down Chilko a bit near Riverview Elementary.

PhAzE · 06-01-2008, 03:14 AM

I spotted a really nice AW 135i with M-sport while driving in my LMB 135i heading down to deep cove in North Van. Are you on this forum?

warmtoes · 06-05-2008, 11:02 AM

Saw a Montego Blue 128 vert near Coquitlam Centre yesterday.

Don't plan ... Do !!! I'd say it was the best decision I've made in years ... but mine is still six weeks away ... so I don't really know yet

But anyway welcome on board.

And some advice ... pretty much anything you'll want to know about this car can be found here with some careful searching ... but don't be afraid to ask if you can't find it.

1Ronnie · 06-10-2008, 11:22 PM

I saw a champagne coloured vert 128 yesterday in town, is that the Cashmere Silver, or is there a different colour in the verts? I couldn't find anything in the coupe brochure that really seems to match it.

warmtoes · 06-11-2008, 01:30 AM

The goldish looking colour is Cashmere Silver Metallic.

Hi Alan, go for it. Always good to have more 128er here to keep all those guys (and possibly girls) in their 135s in check :wink:.

Good to have you

Vancity1 · 06-13-2008, 02:03 AM

I just picked up my Jet Black 135i today, drove her 150 km tonight, was everywhere. What an absolute blast this car is, was hard to not put the pedal to the metal and push the car. 2000 km here I come!

I'm from Richmond and I just got mine today!! WOOT just got mine today~ Jet Blk 128i sport+premium+USB

warmtoes · 06-13-2008, 09:11 AM

Nice cars guys.

vanbmw · 06-13-2008, 11:45 AM

In my quest for 2000km break in I had a nice drive out to Harrison Hotsprings on the Lougheed HWY. I took the Albion ferry acroso and it was nice once East of Mission (traffic was dead quiet as it was midweek) and got to have some fun in the twisties. Had a coffee and walked the beach in Harrison and then it was down the highway to Cultus lake. Not as much fun here as the speed limit is low and more traffic. Then I headed home. Only a few more km's to go!!!

warmtoes · 06-13-2008, 11:58 AM

Nice. I have to head up to Whistler to look at some accommodations for a conference we're holding so I'm going to have a nice drive up the sea to sky in early July.

If it's a nice day I'm debating driving top down the entire way.

Kiety · 06-13-2008, 12:20 PM

since you'll have your windblocker by then, you should drive top down so long as it's not pouring rain
