Back from ED : Jerez Black vert with individual interior

Glop · 04-20-2011, 05:59 PM

Just came back from ED. A few pics... sorry for the not so great quality.

Car is a vert with DCT, JB with extended black interior with red stitching and a bunch of other options.

Btw, I love it, can't wait to have it back!

ED trip was: pickup in Munich, go to Lyon in France through Switzerland and Austria, then go to Nimes, go up to see the Millau viaduc, the drive to Toulouse. Stay a few days there, visit Carcasonne, Albi, and a few other places, then drive up to Paris. On the way stop by Rocamadour in the middle of France which was amazing (lots of small roads). Visit Paris and Versailles, and then give the car back in Paris before flying back to Seattle.

Just the car:

Probably video and a few more pics to come...

Wow that stitching looks incredible.

More pics from the trip itself:

Marienplatz

Neuschwanstein

View from hotel in Lyon

Roman coliseum in Nimes

The view on Millau

The bridge: highest suspension bridge in the world, the second pillar is higher than the Eiffel tower http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millau_Viaduct

Medieval city of Carcasonne

The amazing 13th century Albi cathedral http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albi_Cathedral

Crazy Lord of the Rings like city of Rocamadour on the side of the cliff http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocamadour

Versailles (rent a golf cart to visit the gardens!)

Notre Dame in Paris

Me and the GF being all romantic in old Albi...

And that's a good start!

looks like it was a fun trip. ED is such a great way to get a BMW.

GOLFFRR · 04-20-2011, 06:55 PM

awesome!

Brosef · 04-20-2011, 07:02 PM

very nice! I definitely would have done an individual interior had I known it was possible at the time.

Glop · 04-20-2011, 07:06 PM

Thanks for the comments!

That interior looks great, especially on a vert where the interior is easily visible because of the drop top. Can you order any color stitching or do they have a selection of colors? Would you be able to get blue stitching? My brother just got an interlagaos Blue vert with black interior and it would look great with blue stitching.

I just can't believe that they charge extra for a different stitching color. How much extra time, material and effort does it really take to use a different color stitching.

Glop · 04-20-2011, 08:18 PM

I think what you're mostly paying for is for a car that doesn't go down the usual factory line. Anything custom means it can't follow the usual path so it's going to cost money to track, process, have workers dedicated to, etc. You can't have the factory pick up from a batch of pre-made components when you need that one component made just for you, even if it's for something as simple as "use a different color" for the stitching.

My guess is on the above car, the price would be around 7-8K. , You can do anything on the car for a price.

Glop car looks great.

Glop · 04-20-2011, 10:03 PM

Thanks man!

Congrats, glad to see one more M down in WA

xquizit · 04-20-2011, 11:52 PM

Beautiful pictures, and I love the scenery photos as well!

Rookie question, but why does it say "Service engine soon" with an exclamation mark? I totally forgot what the "!" means as well. (haven't had my car for such a long time)

SlamMan · 04-21-2011, 02:05 AM

Nice car, great choice on interior. That has to be tough leaving the car after such a great introduction in incredible locals.
