This was a good weekend for me!

Took delivery of my US-Spec 328i xDrive GT in Mineral Grey and Coral Red interior!

I've been lusting for a BMW for the past 10 years… Been through 2 Subaru's and a Lexus ('99 Legacy Outback, '07 IS250, and recent '08 WRX 5-door). The F34 just ticks all my checkboxes for needs and wants! :thump:

Knowing it's almost mid-November, tho, I had pre-ordered a set of Blizzak LM-32's, and got them installed today… The guys at the tire center couldn't get over the fact that I only had 57 miles on the car!

I'm gonna leave the 400M set as my winter wheels… yeah, they're staggered, but it's only by a 1/2 inch - beats buying and selling for a new set. Hoping to get some nice 19" or 20"s for my summer setup!

I'm so beyond happy and excited!!! Just can't wait to break it in proper!

That's a good looking ride! I pick mine up in the same color combo tomorrow! I've been dying waiting, came in too late on Saturday to get PDI'd before Monday. Seeing how good the combo looks on yours makes me even more anxious!

Yeah, my car was at the dealership 2 Fridays ago… but I couldn't take her home till I get my Subaru sold. The dealership hosted a "Novemberfest" the day after the car arrived, and I got to see my car in the lot waiting for me.

Fumbled through a couple of different Craigslist buyers… one didn't want to pay tax, the other changed his mind. Finally found a good buyer, and got everything together ASAP, and got it sold. My dealership did a courtesy trade, so I saved a little on tax.

The red interior with the grey exterior is real nice. There was some debate as to whether the hex-aluminum interior trim would be nicer than the dark walnut burl. a few people told me I should go aluminum… but I stuck to my guns about the dark walnut, and I LOVE it. I could not be happier with how the car's aesthetics turned out. I'll eventually (if I have time), get some interior shots… but it basically looks exactly as I expected from the "build you own" pictures.

I got the blue M-Sport brakes on there too… I thought the stock brakes on the 328i was a little lacking during the test drive… The stock 335i's would've been fine tho.

Great looking car!

Thanks everyone!

Very nice car. Still 4 weeks to wait for mine. Will have to consider winter wheels and tyres too, but dealer wants £1800 for 17 inch set or £2200 for 18 inch set. Bit pricey!

Best pictures I've seen of the F32. I wonder if you taking a picture might actually make the rear look better to me.

Congrats on the car.

I just put winter tires on the stock rims. I do have the MSport brakes, so needed 18" rims anyways. Good winter tires ran me $1000 USD on their own.

Debating between 19" or 20" rims for the summer. And still unsure if I need to spend for flow formed wheels or just be good with low pressure cast. I don't track, but Pittsburgh has lots of potholes.

Looks great, nice color

It's good choice.

I would love to see some interior shots. I have the same exterior color with black interior ... love it but was aching for the red (could not convince the wife!).

Nice... How long does it take to complete order from making the order at dealer?

[lmcq784]

Nemosoft, I ordered mine on 9/23, arrived at my dealership on 11/1.

It came a lot quicker than I expected.

[lmcq784]

I'll get some interior shots when I can. Maybe this weekend.

Cool location for the photo's. I like the exterior/interior combo, you selected.

Where you at the Novemberfest?

[lmcq784]

Thanks for the compliments!
Novemberfest: Yes I was!!

[Jasun]

That color looks amazing! Greats photos too!
The dealer had one that color as well, but didn't have the xenon package....otherwise that would have been my choice.

[ipilcher]

Can you post some pics of the interior?

[lmcq784]

Haven't taken any formal shots of the interior. But I did snap a couple of quick ones when I had an "interior upgrade" last week!
