Nice. I see you got the shades. They don't look like they are very "dark". That is, the mesh looks loose, not tight, and lets a lot of sun in. Is it just the pictures? Or are they really that light?

that looks awesome, my ssii e90 will be here shortly, i was torn between sg and ssii but went with the silver. i also have two little ones and the sedan is just too practical. I hate putting kids in carseats in a coupe. i will miss the carbon fiber roof

Sweet!!! My car is identical and arrives at port on the 22nd. I do have both 18's and 19's to see which looks better. Prolly stick with the 19's after seeing your car.

Hi ersin,
You're right. The shades by no means form a tight seal around the windows. There is a substantial gap at some places between the shade and the window/door frame. Also, they are fairly transparent... enough to have up (deployed?) while driving if you want. I haven't parked the car in the sun for any amount of time yet so don't know how much difference they really make in keeping the car cooler. I actually got them as much for privacy as sun protection as they make it a bit tougher to look into the car.

Hey cool! You ordered both sets of wheels? Didn't think of that as I was agonizing over my decision to go with the 19s...

Very nice color on the sedan. I agree with many of your observations. I, too, am loving comfort access. When I get into our Mercedes and have to take the key out it's a big pain (going soft, i know!).

The coupe is a very all-around car. The sedan is perfect for those with families. I'm glad BMW saw fit to make it this time around for those who need it.

For me it's going to be either MR or Sparkling graphite. 6 MT.

ordered both !? make sure you post pics with both on the car since I also am interested in SGraph and have a hard time deciding the wheels.
