TheoIam · 08-30-2007, 02:21 PM

Man those exhaust outlets are just massive.

KingOfJericho · 08-30-2007, 02:50 PM

I love the 135i's extra little lip "spoiler"... such a cool car!

SCA · 08-30-2007, 03:01 PM

Is it March yet? :frown:

inTgr8r · 08-30-2007, 03:02 PM

It's just too bad it wasn't something other than black

... I DO love black cars; it's just that black car pics hide so much detail...

Somebody with an eye for this stuff, is that cashmere silver trim on the interior? Doesn't look like any of the standard aluminums I'm used to seeing. Or is the lighting or the camera off?

My money is on the camera being off. None of the pics are really that great. Looks like standard aluminum trim to me... and I would know because I have owned 0 BMW's

+1 - looks like a 'white balance' issue with the digital camera

There was some desperate need for some new eye candy!!!!!! Many thanks to the author and OP. Man it looks good, this is comin form someone who is genereally not over enthused about the way the front of this car looks. But it's a shame its black. Not that the black doesn't look good, looks great, just hides details. I hope when I finally get to my greedy lil hands on it in 2 weeks :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: they have it in other colors. I will takes tons of pics and videos.

Those wheels look to be the same as those caught on the road in the Montego Blue thread.

Genericuser1 · 08-30-2007, 04:27 PM

I rather like the wheels. Looks really good. Maybe my car could, umm disappear next year and then I'd have to get a new one.

Harold · 08-30-2007, 04:37 PM

Some more pics of the same car with more details from (http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=848):

glad you guys liked

and yes, the camera work could have been better. I apologize, I didn't want to carry around an SLR in the rain for the whole event. This was with a Nikon S2 point and shoot which is water-resistant

Brookside · 08-30-2007, 04:54 PM

Thanks for posting..really a great job.
The interior looks very driver friendly.:biggrin:
