Vancouver, BC anyone?

Kiety · 07-05-2008, 12:11 PM

if you ever see me, my license plate starts with 135

reserved it months ago

it's like a custom plate without having to pay the extra fees.

I've seen three vert's downtown myself lately, AW, Cashmere, and SGM (I think??). I also notice, Brian Jessel had an AW Vert with Coral in the show room for a while which is gone.

I haven't seen so many Coupe's on the road, although I wonder if that is because they are not as instantly recognizable as a Vert when you're driving.

Still hopefully less than four weeks before my Sedona is on the streets !!

my Jet Black 128 Coupe's license plate starts with 128. I was just lucky when i got my car.

Yohan Center is more of a demolition derby than a parking lot. If you love your car, stay away!!

warmtoes · 07-07-2008, 02:13 PM

^^^What he says! It's actually more like bumper cars though.

Kiety · 07-09-2008, 12:27 AM

I was in taiwan for a year for work, now THAT is like driving bumper cars, i am able to steer around spaces just 20-30cm wider than my car now

Hey Everyone,

Just a hello to everyone here. Just discovered this forum and a proud owner of a new 1 series as well. See you on the street!

jerico68 · 07-15-2008, 12:14 PM

I have had my 330ci fixed there a few years ago. They are known to specialize in German cars. If you go there, you'll see mostly BMWs and MBs. My car came back perfect.

warmtoes · 08-02-2008, 04:31 PM

Parked next to a BSM 135i vert in the Coquitlam Whitespot parking lot today. Seeing two 135i verts next to each other was cool.

I took my Porsche to Burrard Auto Strasse on Pine St when I needed things fixed. Everything went fine & they did a outstanding job.

You know they're good when there's Bentley's, Lamborghini's, Porsches, Mercesdes & BMW's all over their shop waiting or being fixed.

Yobuster · 08-18-2008, 06:55 PM

Wow the boards about the 1-series in Vancouver have really gone quiet. I guess everyone is out enjoying their car. =)

Anybody getting winter tires/rims this winter season?

I'm going to have to. Running on summer tires only is not a good idea in Vancouver. Any recommendations on tire and rim packages?

We will probably take our 128 vert off the road from November - March, since we have a Nissan Pathfinder as a third vehicle....

warmtoes · 08-26-2008, 12:02 PM

Ordered my wheels and snows the other day via a friend who owns a tire shop. Should be here soon, not that I'm expecting snow anytime soon though.

BOSCH 135i · 11-01-2008, 12:19 PM

Ordered a sedona red 135i. Should be here in 2-3 weeks... sigh....

Cooldaddygroove · 11-01-2008, 12:42 PM

Had my 135i tinted. If you want a lightening fast job with near perfect results, I highly recommend Ideal Tint in Burnaby on Imperial.
