Thanks everyone! The car is amazing! Unfortunately, it's raining and has been since I drove her home from work today but it still looks great.

I got a super surprise when I went to sign papers today. The interest rate was 1.9% and not 3.05% which they had told me a few days ago. Cool huh?

Pics will be posted after she gets a bath. Judging by the storm we have going on tonight, might be a couple days.

Congrats to the others who replied to my OP and have recently picked up a new ride. I share in your enthusiasm!

First photo!

Well, the iPhone 5 doesn't have the best camera quality but at least I was able to snap a quick one before it started raining yesterday. It rained all last night so I won't be taking any new photos of the outside of the car today.

I can't wait to hop in and head to work! Only because of the fun to drive and not because I have to work.

Have a good one everybody!

Now after seeing the photo, I think I need to order the black kidney grilles and the white reflective or the matching painted side markers. Yellow markers really jump out. Which do you think would look better?

My new ride is getting a bra today so I can't take any pics, but the black grill on carbon black looks better imho. The side markers do jump out, though I have to say, I haven't noticed mine in the 1st week.

yes, its begging for the performance grill, cheapest I saw from online BMW dealer is $120...

and for the painted side markers, I highly recommend IND performance, a bit steep for $75 but well worth it, I just installed mine the other and im one satisfied customer...

one last thing I would recommend is 20mm spacers at the back and that's it...

enjoy!!! let the modding begin!!!

No. White is midway there.
Grey/silver and beige are easiest. Had a silver car with grey interior. Wouldn't vacuum or wash it for weeks and looked fine.

Now have alpine white 35d with black carpeting. Every little piece of dirt is highly visible on carpet. But when you dont see anything - you know it must be clean.

On the outside, dust first shows up on my tinted windows and plastic trim before I see it on white paint.

Thanks for the suggestion for the side markers and the spacers. I'll have to watch the forum marketplace for other items to jump on. I missed the 21" wheels someone had posted a while ago. I love the looks of those. The ride, I'm not sure if I'd like but I'd have a lot of fun trying it out!

Looks good. black grill and some spacers and your cooking with gas.


The black carpet does show everything.
