Dress code is cocktail/lounge suit, which on a Friday night is a bit rough!!!!

missed the adelaide launch last night but went to the stealer this morning for a look.

Cars on display:

Blue 125i convertible auto
Cashmere silver 120i convertible auto
White 135i manual with the following options:
- perf wheels
- perf body kit
- perf rear carbon skirt and spoiler
- silver stripes....ugly
- perf brakes
- perf racing seats
- perf black kidney grill

Basically it looked great and I loved the racing seats but there is no height adjustment for them so you sit so high its like driving a bus!!!!! very dissapointing.

Down in the bowels of the dealership I was also shown a sapphire black 135i manual with no options - looked good.

Driving a 125i manual and 135i manual back to back next month - will report back!!!

Was that a Freudian slip there or did you mean to say dealer?

Great event on the Friday evening . . . only complaint: Too many people to get to have a decent look at what was on offer! Will have to drop in during daylight hours and have a decent look.

The white 135i (with added BMW "bits") was bloody gorgeous! Didn't think the BMW racing seats did themselves justice, I'd be just as happy with the standard "sports" leather seats. The only other disappointing thing was: I got talking to the "technician" that put that gorgeous package together: Try $120,000+ for the car as it stands! WTF!

I didn't mind the Convertible . . . but really, it's no better than what I've already got, so I won't be upgrading to that. Could be tempted with a 125i Coupe with a few extra bits, though!
