You chose the catalogue colour combination which is very sporty IMHO! I guess the AW is part of the attraction to other people! How do you like the Palladium? I love it with its minimal hue of blue...Again, great combo!!!

Best regards, south

Epacy · 11-18-2007, 09:38 AM

You lucky SOB!!

Please give your thoughts on the interior color.

Hi South, I agree with you...Lovely combination. Very attracting for the people....And the blue, yes is very evident...I would say that it is less gray and more blue. Very difficult to take pics....Another thing: this morning the indicator of the oil's level took many minutes to show the quantity of oil. All is ok. This means that the system itself works in this way and we don't need to worry about the gap of time without informations. Sure if there is not oil, there will be another warning lamp to advice about...
Bye bye now

southlight · 11-18-2007, 10:51 AM

Did I already mention how good the Palladium looks?

I'm just envying you for the Italian weather and the fact that you're able to get leather without seat heating! Cool, I've got the same key ring.

Best regards, south

shadowcoder · 11-18-2007, 10:54 AM

Very nice indeed. Fantastic color combo with the CF roof as well as inside.
Congrats

aerisolphaln · 11-18-2007, 10:54 AM

Excellent pictures, any chance of more pictures showing off the seats and the leather???

The snow is waiting for me in Czech Republic for Thursday...:-)
Today was really nice weather...
I love the Palladium. But I know that it has to be seen in reality and not by pics. Very difficult to take the correct degree of blue by camera....
I also would say that this blue is changing according to the true light exposure..
ciao

We had snow the past days, but this week should be better...

I would say the brighter the light (sunshine), the more blue is in it. With less light (i.e. at evening/night/overcast) it's more silver. Agreed?

I try...But not easy to take pics of that leather....

These are my last pics. I made my best to show the interior-exterior combination. I hope that it helped a little.
Btw untill now, the car is simply perfect. No one strange vibration, noise, not one strange thing to report. 950 km done at the moment. Overall consumption 12,8 Lt-100km

I would tell also that I totally love the bulge. To see it togheter with the left black air intake, during the driving, give you a tridimensional sense of the world "Power". The power dome is remembering you second by second what you could do if only you would push that "pedal".....Really a good good feeling. I can't imagine this car without that power dome....You will see by your eyes and you will decide, if it is true, or not...

bye bye now

Totally agreed! Elegant and in the meantime sportive feeling..This is why probably "they" have choosen this combination for the catalogue...

Hi Greg..
that's lake of Garda, near the city of Verona. Where I live.

Romo · 11-18-2007, 01:13 PM

Congrats

Yesterday I had the oportunity to do a testdrive myself; Jerez Black, 19", EDC. Just f.cking awesome

The car is so easy to drive, much easier then the E46 M3, clutch and gear change verry verry smooth indeed, HUGE improvement over the old one!! And fast off course, check your speedo, because it is going faster then jou can imagine.....
There is so much potential in this car, man I couldn`t sleep last night, I was still driving

Previously I had only considered Fox Red extended leather, but now my decision has been made more difficult. Thanks for these great pics.

Hi...
the last pic is only 3 minutes far from Limone:-)
the place where live the higher number of older Italian men and women of the Country. Probably the combination of clima and life style...
bye

I think paladium is a better choice for the AW than the fox red. I'd say it's even better than black since AW/black might be a bit boring. Nice call Savage.

UltimateBMW · 11-18-2007, 01:36 PM

Wow, the pics just keep getting better.

This thread delivers!

Savage, that car is stunning.
