118i in Sparkling bronze has arrived

Hi All,

after reading this forum carefully, I decided on purchasing a F20. After a struggle/discussion about prices, I chose the 118i sport. Without seeing a picture in advance, I chose for sparkling bronze.

Because of colour choice, production is only planned end of march, delivery half of april. I was told that I will be one of the first to have his 1-series produced in this colour. Looking forward without doubt! Smile smile ;-)

other options beside the sportpack is radio professional and seat heating.
Later the F20's 18 inch rims will be added.

Counting down

Wallace D

Congrats. I was keen on the bronze too but couldn't wait, opted for mineral grey instead.

First drive

Hi Guys,

just picked it up from the garage, and made a little drive around copenhagen.

Hope the link works, because I have no idea where to post it so I can link to this site.




Tomorrow I will go for a little scenic drive in the hinterland...

My first roadtrip around Sealand, Denmark. The sun was shining most of the time. Rain already made the car dirty from day 1.

Too all who are doubting to go for brown : Don't do it because the colour keeps shifting dependent on the environment from chocolate brown to gray-brownish.

Tillykke med bilen - congrats with your new car.

Looks like Amager Strandpark in the background - took the same trip earlier today.

This is a fresh and unusual colour. A brave choice that turned out to be very cool
I guess it - more than any other - demands frequent washing though

Went to my home country, Belgium and decided on a photoshoot on a rainy day in the harbour of Antwerp. Colour looks different than in sunlight but still soo cool!

Very nice colour, my 118i is only 3 weeks away now...
You should change your "Drives" information, mate...
You're no longer awaiting impatiently your F20...
Unless you've bought a 2nd one, of course...

Congrats on the 1er,
Great pics
I like that you have taken pics in several locations to show the colour off in different lights and the way the shadow falls on the shape.

I am off to the BMW dealer later today to collecting my new 1er.
I hope my pics will look as good as yours
