One very happy new E92 335d owner

peterg1965 · 09-01-2007, 12:01 PM

Took delivery of the 335d this morning, very impressed. I decided to go for an abbreviated handover of all the ProNav/BT/Voice/iPod/iDrive controls, it would have taken forever and a day. It is all fairly intuitive anyway and similar to my previous experience in an E60. The car - very impressed but there is still so much that I haven't 'played with'! Torch present and correct

and the 26 mile drive back from dealer Motorway/Town was enjoyable!! A few pics .... I am very content with the colour/trim combo

The wife decided to grab the keys and take it for a spin

she prefers the Disco (which I am very happy with!)

Looks great - you must be delighted after the wait ........

Love the 225M's.

1stKnight · 09-01-2007, 12:52 PM

Very very nice indeed! I wish you many happy miles!

Pete,:rocks: and you how much that pains me

what does your boy think of it?

Z4 Beemer · 09-01-2007, 01:15 PM

Stunning! Congrats.

A great combination all round - the wheels, colour and jade grey leather!

DervFan · 09-01-2007, 02:06 PM

Congratulations

Peter, Le Mans rules :rocks:

vivekk · 09-01-2007, 02:39 PM

Congratulations Pete!

Lovely car & beautiful colour- I'm sure it'll put a smile on your face for a long time to come!

I had a quick play with the colour, just to show how LMB 'really' looks!

All the best.

If you could get rid of the old red citroen in the background, that would make a fantastic widescreen desktop background.

Viv, you have worked wonders with that pic, it looks so much better. Is that Photoshop?

Certainly is Pete.

I'll have a go at 'removing' that Citroen, ok.

Cheers Squeeze

My oldest son (in the pic) thinks the car is 'awesome' - his words, he clearly has good taste like his Dad!

Is this ok for you, Gordon?

Tried the nice B&W adjustment in CS3 & knocked up the shot below as well.

jasongtr · 09-01-2007, 03:42 PM

id say its impossible but then i havent used photoshop for ages and never really knew how to use it when i did, but having said that i may dig out the old software and load it up and have a play

Z4 Beemer · 09-01-2007, 03:45 PM

Viv, you are a genius... nearly

There is now no sign of the Citroen, but something has happened to Peters driveway, it has "wrapped" itself up to the car and up the rear wheel... you see what I mean?

silverbmwz3 · 09-01-2007, 03:48 PM

Awesome car Peter, congratulations.

Just to set the record straight, that isn't my driveway, it is a neighbour's. I have never, and will never, own a Citroen ZX

The block paving is the road outisde my house.

squeezebm · 09-01-2007, 03:50 PM

The house looks like its being eaten by the bush!!! now

I was going to blur the background out completely, so you couldn't tell, Gordon, but I didn't!

Anyway, I've now demolished Pete's neighbour's house, planted bushes on the land & sold the cars, ok!

Perfect! although I think you have removed the street light, which we really need to keep for safety and to show off the new car.

Sergei has enough torches to keep the whole of Pete's road lit for a good long time, Gordon- he'll happily provide the street lighting!
