Picked up my new ride! Space Gray/Black/Syc Ant.

Mack211 · 06-10-2008, 08:49 PM

I know everyone has seen endless pictures but I loved looking at everyones rides while I was waiting. I got 18", Space Gray, Black Leather, Syc Ant. wood trim, and DCT!

I also have some pictures of my old 2001 325ci that I sold today

[Sorry about the horrible interior photos. I am going to take some this evening as well]

More photos on page 2

batchelorc · 06-10-2008, 08:53 PM

pimp! How well did your dealer treat you on the trade-in?

Not as much as I was hoping but still pretty good.
$10,000 for trade-in and then they threw in an extra $300. So $10,300.
For a 2001 325ci with 97K miles.

Greenspotpop · 06-10-2008, 09:23 PM

I am really liking Space Grey, thanks for the pics, looks sweet!

skierman64 · 06-10-2008, 09:28 PM

Looks like my car except the wood vs carbon. I like the wood as my second choice over the aluminum.

bmwprince4life · 06-10-2008, 09:34 PM

Nice! I was kinda shocked when I saw the 3 series as first pic. Wheels like shiny I like.

montreal red · 06-10-2008, 09:34 PM

the wheels match your car very well! congrats !

M2381 · 06-10-2008, 09:42 PM

Looks good, quite an upgrade huh? Enjoy!

Sedan_Clan · 06-10-2008, 09:43 PM

18" wheels + Space Grey look great! Exact specs of one of the ///M3's I test drove (..minus the DCT).

Jdebitjr · 06-10-2008, 10:06 PM

Got mine at Classic too (May 1). Congrats.

RedBarron · 06-10-2008, 10:22 PM

Quite a upgrade man, congrats.

That trade is vaule is not bad. I asked how much they would give me for my 01 330ci with 55K miles and they said 12K

ase2dais · 06-10-2008, 10:25 PM

We have the same color, interior and wheel combo Mac!

... you got DCT

sayemthree · 06-10-2008, 10:47 PM

To be honest... this car scares the shit out of me.

I have been driving so damn carefully. (Which isn't a bad thing. I'm learning the car) Coming from 184 HP to 414.

Nate@IND · 06-10-2008, 11:08 PM

Nice upgrade! Drive safe and enjoy the new M

Nucking Futs! · 06-11-2008, 01:31 AM

Other than the sycamore, it looks very nice! I think space gray is the best color that matches the oem 18" wheel color. Plan on any mods? I know where those pics were taken since that's my fav. local place to take pics during the day.

Pom Performance · 06-11-2008, 03:32 AM

Nice

eeeboy · 06-11-2008, 10:52 AM

hey brotha, I sold my 2001 325ci and got an 08 Space Gray, black int, DCT, but aluminum trim...are we related? I pulled off 13,800 for my 325.
nice ride!!! I ordered sycamore but changed it last minute, becuase of how it looks in the sunlight. I am not a wood fan, I really want the piano black trim.. I LOVE the glossy look!!!

schnell325 · 06-11-2008, 06:24 PM

Looks great.

Mack211 · 06-12-2008, 07:27 AM

Thanks for all the comments.

I now have over 100 miles and all I can say is WOW. The more I drive it the more I fall in love. I ask my fiance every 20 minutes if she needs something from the store just so I can have a reason to drive. Besides the obvious things, I will say the CA, Bluetooth and Nav truly impress me. There is a learning curve but the idrive is fantastic once you figure it out and read the manual!

M-Maika · 06-12-2008, 07:44 AM

Congrats on the car.

Best Regards, Maika
