Davo's Jerez/Bamboo/MDCT

Davo2003 · 05-05-2008, 07:03 AM

Well, picked her up Friday late afternoon.

Quick first impressions:

Car looks mean and I am happy with it. I actually have alot to say about the various features but I am short on time. Just wanted to post a few photos. MDCT is truly seamless and works like a charm. Coming from a 6MT I will admit it takes some getting used to. I really loved the 6MT and my ability to feel the engine speed/revs without much need to look at the tach, with MDCT, I have to be more careful, but I think this is a learning curve issue only. Having the auto modes is great. The creep mode works beautifully and overall it is very easy to operate. I think the pics and colors of the seats and trim are very representative of the true color...I guess some depends on your screen setup though. I am really happy with the sycamore and received many compliments...admittedly the younger crowd likes the carbon or aluminum which also looks nice, just not my thing.

I did unfortunately blow out the front right door speaker of the premium audio which surprised me. Also opening up the cabin as in open sunroof and windows made the speaker crackle and pop even louder, exacerbated the problem big time, was weird. So I will be off to the dealer for speaker replacement soon.

That is just an abslutely stunning combination! I did not particularly like Sycamore, but with the bamboo leather it looks perfect. Great choice. I have a DCT car on order, and if anything like SMGII there is a learning curve.

Zirenz2006 · 05-05-2008, 07:45 AM

Congrats - Looks great! I see Sycamore in a new light when it is paired with Bamboo, very classy!

AwesomeM3 · 05-05-2008, 07:45 AM

Beautiful color combo! Congrats and good luck!

Big Windy · 05-05-2008, 07:55 AM

the sycamore looks great in that combo. nice!

phoenixbmwlife · 05-05-2008, 07:56 AM

Wow thats actually a beautiful combo and I don't like the Beige interior. Somehow it works with the black and bamboo.

Congrats!

how?

I also ordered the premium sound and my dealer told me that i could pull it up more than i could take... i didnt wanted a earthshaking sound but a cristallclear(and also loud) concert-sound...

did you pushed the low/high end of the equalizer up? *a bit frightend*

GT3 Tim · 05-05-2008, 09:53 AM

Interesting the speaker blew...wtf? Must be a defect or somebody goofed the install and damaged it when doing so. Let's hope that is the case....I will be pissed if I start blowing speakers after paying that much for enhanced audio.

There's a small (but not zero) rate of defects in all manufacturing.

exadius · 05-05-2008, 02:40 PM

Nice! Thanks for the execellent interior pics. I wish more pic posts interior pics like that. There are plenty of pics of the exterior of this car but not so many of the interior.

WCH · 05-05-2008, 04:01 PM

beautiful car. I think this is one of the few colors that work with the wood trim - and I like wood trim.
