Picked up this morning, Alpine White looks so fresh and clean. The car is hot

My gf was over the moon when she had a drive.. Car now parked at work waiting for its next drive..

Pictures to come of course!

Congrats! Glad to hear it. I'm green with envy (or was that lunch)! :smile:

Zuzu · 05-28-2008, 10:52 PM

lol...maybe too much turps at lunch..hehehee

Zuzu · 05-28-2008, 10:53 PM

And congratulations Kris...
sorry been chatting with you since you got back and forgot to congrat you..:drinking:

aus_buster · 05-28-2008, 10:58 PM

congrats mate!

Can't wait for the pics and driving impressions....

cozza · 05-28-2008, 11:16 PM

Congratulations Kris. Can't wait to see some pics of an Aussie AW coupe. Hurry up with the photos!!

coco_m3 · 05-28-2008, 11:16 PM

Congrats!
Im Happy For Ya!

jcw2006aus · 05-28-2008, 11:26 PM

:thumbup: Yes Congratulations..LETS See some Pics.......

Kris · 05-28-2008, 11:28 PM

lol! Thanks guys

First impressions are simply, WOW. This car is everything I've always wanted in a car.

Speed, Luxury, Convience, Looks. Its got all the performance goodies, all the luxury items, its easy to drive, turns heads, goes like the clappers and all in luxury. It's the best car I've driven and it feels wonderful

The Alpine White is stunning, I'm not usually a White fan and was a very nervous about ordering a white car but I'm having no regrets. It's just perfect and accuates all the lines really nicely.

I'm 100% satisfied and happy. Couldn't ask for more! Everything works really well (N95 has issues with the phone book! but ill sort that out) and works very easily.

I'll be posting up photographs tonight for you

I feel very privileged and lucky to own such a car at my age and would have never have dreamed to have something like this. I don't feel I deserve it but am 100% greatful all the same.

Kel has been very patient with my constant blabbing about the car but it was nice to see her smile when I told her she has her own key complete with memory settings

Cheers
Kris

professor · 05-28-2008, 11:31 PM

Congratulations Kris. So excited for you! And it so good to hear your initial opinions and sentiments.

Photographs from you are what I am really looking forward to - expecting lovely bokeh, contre-jour shots, and whatever else you guys do!!

Kris · 05-28-2008, 11:45 PM

hahaha professor! I've only got 1 lens now.. the 35L Canon job, but it's a nice piece of glass. I actually sold all my other L series lens but ill do my best for you

Should have more time over the weekend to get some shots with a bit of greenery!

professor · 05-28-2008, 11:49 PM

ok kris, but would you mind making one in 1920x1200 for my desktop? i want an aussie version 135 on there for a change!

Kris · 05-28-2008, 11:50 PM

Will do! I'll do one step better and do a bit of PP on it and forward you the complete resolution one (its 12.7megapixels, full frame so it will be BIG)

professor · 05-28-2008, 11:52 PM

goody, finally some real use for all that extra RAM i dumped on the computer.

(the vista on my desktop sucks btw. my ubuntu laptop with a single processor is just as fast!)

WAY · 05-28-2008, 11:53 PM

Congrats dude! Mine has been invoiced but I don't have it yet. Probably pick it up by Monday.

Kris · 05-28-2008, 11:59 PM

Nice one Wayne... now the really painful wait

ha professor!! I can supply you a raw if you really want to tinker yourself! Bare with me though, super busy so ill do my best to get you some big wallpaper shots on the weekend

blackie36 · 05-28-2008, 11:59 PM

congrats Kris

I'll keep an eye out for you in Sydney - I'm in a SGM 135i

which dealership did you get it from?

Kris · 05-29-2008, 12:00 AM

hey blackie! Ill keep my eyes pealed! So many heads looked at the car today , most were like 'WTF is that?!'

I brought it from Canterbury BMW

blackie36 · 05-29-2008, 12:10 AM

I know - it certainly attracts a bit of attention! I picked mine up last weekend and have put 1500 km's on it already. Love the car....

did you get floor mats with it?

Zuzu · 05-29-2008, 12:12 AM

Now thats what i call a quick run in..
Man..where did you go in 5 days...lol

Sydneysider · 05-29-2008, 01:29 AM

Great Kris. I am day 2 today. Yesterday I was worried I was driving too slow but this morning I was worried I was going to get booked.
