I actually really like that combo. Was thinking that IB/black would be the way to go, but your car looks nice. More pics, please!

Just can't forget to pack the V1.

Don't forget to vary rpm and throttle position on the way home. I used 5, 6, and 7 for my drive back from the dealership, all interstate for 2+20 minute drive home from the dealership.

Congrats to all the new E90 DCT owners. Welcome to the club.

as promised, better pics are here.

trust me, the car is MUCH better looking in real life, inside and out. for some reason BMW's don't photograph well. the brushed aluminum trim is rather dark in color and looks very upscale, much better than the trim in the regular E90's.

the only thing better than the car's look is how it drives. i let the engine loose and even hit 6000rpm for a little bit

oh my the engine spins up in no time. at low speed the engine sounds like a turbine. once it hits 3500rpm the noise turns into a loud rumble. it takes effort to not scare the old ladies on the streets.

even if the car costs $10k more it's still a BARGAIN!

Very nice! Congrats! It's unfortunate we're going to have crappy weather the rest of the week.
