I HAVE PHOTOS

My Car has arrived , it is at the Dealership (Motorline) here in south Brisbane. The Dealer Principle, Craig Rose has pre determine my enthusiasm put some little additions on the car for my approval eg Wheels and carbon fibre mirrors. I love it and said leave them on plus the addition of carbon rear spoiler, what do you think? I can highly recommend this Dealership they certainly are go getters.

Looks great, not sold on the wheels I dont think they suit white which is disappointing as I was looking to get them!

Congrats Steve!!! What a cool dealer !

Hi Richard, your car looks great (saw it when I was looking at my car). I've gone for the Performance wheels too - I think they look great. Haven't gone for any carbon fibre bits though - my car is Sparkling Graphite and the carbon bits get a bit lost on it (I think they look good on white though). Like me you've gone for the Coral interior too - I was a bit nervous about ordering this but now that I've seen it in real life I think it's fantastic.

As you can tell, overall I think the cars look awesome - photos do not do them justice.

Your camera has a serious white balance issue, try these (not perfect, but I'm running out):









Hope you don't mind.

SimonB , Your photos look much better. I do like Mags they look much better in real life. The charcoal contrasts the white beautifully so does the carbon fibre pieces it sets the car off fantastically.Kris you need to see it in the flesh before you make up your mind. Eureka saw your car today as well, I think we have the only ones in Brisbane , I do love the red interior and it certainly a good contrast to your sparkling graphite

Must admit I'm really liking the red - hope I don't regret my decision to go with Terracotta...

I almost, almost chose the Coral Red leather to go with the Sparkling Graphite, but too many (all) of the female friends (plus 1 male) that I asked and showed a couple of the photos said that it would look like a pimpmobile.

That said and the fact that I was a little uneasy at being so 'adventurous' made me change my mind. It's not too late to change it back again. I really hope I can see one in the flesh before I have to confirm colours and trim.

Anyway, glad you like the changes to the photos, I guess it's obvious who the camera dudes are here Congrats on seeing your baby.

No we don't have the m-sport for the 3 series yet. I wonder when we'll get them
