My First Hardtop!

BMWMC · 10-28-2010, 09:50 PM

Got my 2011 Deep Sea Blue 328i Convertible on Wednesday and enjoying the hell out of it. Here in South Carolina we have had temps of 80's all week! It's my first convertible and I think i will enjoy it! The best feature is comfort access and being able to press the keyfob to let the top down.

I just out of my 535GT and I enjoyed it as well .. very big and spacious .. but this convertible will help save some gas dollars! The GT averaged about 20 mpg which isn't bad for a car that big.

I will have this convertible for few months until my 550 sedan arrives.
(I work for BMW, that's how i get cars so often)

Nice... line of work!

Very close to my '07 vert, color wise. If Deep sea blue had been available on the 335is I would have likely gone that direction.

Yeah, starting 2011. I had Montego Blue on a sedan last year and it's too bright .. but Deep Sea Blue looks great!

now get a SmartTop hehe

michaelthepsycho · 10-30-2010, 03:14 AM

Great choice, sir. Blue + contrasting interior = win. However, I think the added weight of a convertible and less powerful engine of a 328i should be mated to a manual to make it go when you want it to.

I see you have an 09 Maxima. How do you like it? Enjoying the CVT? I know I did.

Thanks man. I love the combo too. We love the Maxima! The CVT is all good and drives and changes gears smoothly. I think we are going to see it soon..it's a 2009 and we bought it new and never really drive it .. had it for a year and a half and it doesnt have 9000 miles yet!
