darknightohio · 08-19-2007, 01:00 PM

I had fun with it:

What do you guys think? Trying to keep this forum alive

blackjoker · 08-19-2007, 01:12 PM

Great job! Yeah, the forum has been dying a little, haha.

BForbes · 08-19-2007, 01:55 PM

I like it, keep the fire going!

larry lawless · 08-20-2007, 06:21 PM

Looks excellent

Feli_330i · 08-20-2007, 06:57 PM

Looks awesome!

Séve · 08-20-2007, 07:20 PM

Thanks, darknightohio! You just sold me, man. I was wavering among AW, black, and graphite, but now I have my answer. I really like the shadowline on this car as well. Too bad M3 wheels won't fit, right guys? The 264s will do for me, though.

fishbulb · 08-20-2007, 08:22 PM

Stunning.

This is pretty much the direction I plan on heading. Don't know if I will try to find M Knock offs or something else, but I am getting some dark rims to help with the dreaded BMW brake dust....

joelk · 08-20-2007, 08:38 PM

really like that color & look. it comes close to solving my problem of wanting black but disappointed it hides the lines of the car.

nice job

menotakoala · 08-20-2007, 10:06 PM

i like i like. :thumbup: two thumbs up from me.

Vornado · 08-21-2007, 09:55 AM

It looks good in the picture, but I wouldnt have those wheels in a million years. I want something easy to clean for once.

GreenJeanzSTI · 08-21-2007, 03:08 PM

Damm.........my thoughts EXACTLY.....effin STI wheels are :mad:kickin my ARSE!!!!!!

joelk · 08-21-2007, 04:24 PM

Sparkling Graphite + Shadowline + Brillant Anthracite wheels = heaven!

Sparkling Graphite is available. Do you mean Shadowline trim?

well the photoshop paint looks much darker than my friend's SG 3 series. i was wanting more of a dark greyish gunmetal look w/o the tones present in the SG. This color almost reminds me of charcoal.

i do like SG though ... so that may be the way i go.

also you probably already know but shadowline trim is an available option for the 135i in germany so i'd bet we get it too.

mateo · 08-27-2007, 02:13 PM

Wow! Very nice indeed...

I like the chrome blacked out too!

amen x a million

although i think thats a bit darker and flatter than SG will actually turn out.. i'll be really interested to see how it looks in person. i have to choose a color that will look good with gunmetal/anthracite wheels because, well, its inevitable. or black w/ machined face. so the car will probably be black, graphite or white ..wow im exciting haha. the sedona red would probably look good with that lineup too, but i know ill be hearing my mother's voice ringing constantly in my head "what are you TRYING to get a ticket??"

will the e46 m3 wheels really not fit? they will look good

matt · 08-29-2007, 06:36 AM

Im sure you all know that you can already configure the 135i on the bmw site, right?

THERS NO WHITE AS AN COLOR!
But Monacoblue

mikeo · 08-29-2007, 10:15 AM

But not BMWUSA.COM with North America options.

where can you configure a 1 series coupe?

mikeo · 08-29-2007, 04:52 PM

BMW's German site, with European options, not US.

joelk · 08-29-2007, 04:59 PM

just to clarify you can't build (afaik) the 135i by clicking the configurator off the main german page. you've got to click on Directabnehmer->GrossKunden->Konfigurator-> a couple of more Konfigurator type clicks...then you are there.
