This looks great! Can you send me more photos?

BMWCCA1 · 02-07-2021, 05:14 PM

Lovely car. This is one instance where the lesser model (128i) got the better grilles!

Esteban · 02-07-2021, 05:31 PM

I think the 128i grilles, which are the same as the grilles on the 135is and the 1M, are the best looking grilles. I put them on my old 135i. Only the 135i came with the all chrome grilles. Some people chose the all black grilles instead.

This Limited Edition Lifestyle 135i came with special grilles that have a white decorative trim on them, among other special features. Like I said, I always liked the black and chromes grilles from the 128i, 135is and the 1M. My personal favorites.

Good luck with the sale, OP.

PS - I think you can get more than $19.00. lol

Heck, I'd probably offer $20 if I were in the market for a 7th BMW convertible to add to my yard.

The style 496 wheels are pretty unique.

No idea how to edit, but the photos all posted as reversed. Thanks Apple!

Just flip vertically and repost.

Esteban · 02-08-2021, 07:03 PM

And horizontally... lol

dclive · 02-08-2021, 09:06 PM

No idea how to flip the images. Photos will flip it so it looks right, but posts wrong here. Then I flip it in Photos and ... it still posts upside down here... ???

I'll try again tomorrow, this time with the volume/etc. controls pointed down.

dclive · 02-08-2021, 09:14 PM

Pics are a mess; flipping doesn't seem to work on this side. Anyway, car lives life in either a parking garage or a residential garage, so it's always covered. It's in great condition; I do have a few close-ups of the (few) scrapes or dings.

..Rush.. · 02-08-2021, 09:44 PM

Top looks good.
You didn't put the top down that often?

Houston's hot.

Seriously the top is in great shape. Works fine and never an issue.

Sorry about your pic problem. Sometimes that happens when they are too large.

The issue is the iPhone upside down pictures problem: https://www.businessinsider.com/here...e-down-2014-10

It's maddening. It happens when you paste from Apple's ecosystem into almost any other ecosystem in the world, like Microsoft's, this client's, or more.

I've updated the pics in the original post with better ones that should render right-side up now. All it took was taking the iPhone pics with volume buttons facing down, as Steve intended, and all worked perfectly.

Much better!

Minor update to clarify that all known issues are fixed (door lock actuator, drivers side, is now fixed and perfect again.)
