Nice dash kit.
I did the same with my Ash Walnut dash and love it.
I added a few pieces more for the vents above the AC controls and dash vents.

What...no posts since 2013!

Considering it was a launch colour and I think the best colour.



Looks clean, even when dirty.
Looks bigger being a light colour.
The curves show better.
I like the way the colour changes, in bright sunlight almost silver, yet in the evening/winter sunlight turns to gold.

I see several of darker colours and you barely know what car it is until it passes you by. You don't even notice them on car parks.

I always find that other drivers think it's wider and pull over down the narrow country lanes I drive here in the UK.

Some recent mod's;
Always thought the front looked a bit odd on Orion Silver, like there were bits missing in the styling.
First mod was to spray grill silver, to give back the 'teeth'.
Then there seemed too much black and the lower spoiler looked detached from the rest of the car.
And now sprayed up the lower intakes silver and the joining bits orion silver.

Nice job, I have a 30i that looks almost exactly like this. I think I may paint my 2 lower grills the way you did. How did you pull them out? I think they just pull out but are secured by snapping in place.

They all pull out relatively easy.
First pull of the silver strip in centre.
With fingers lever out the surrounding trim, it's held in place by little tongues.
Then the diagonal pieces are held the same, but a bit more awkward as you lift the outboard section first.

Just bought this '12 sDrive28i. My favorite color and was fortunate to find it locally. Better pics later. Here are a couple of quickies.

Congrats SoCalKarl on a gorgeous car. I also have one in Orion Silver. Mine's a '12 with the 2.0 turbo.

Enjoy it!

f5Joe I bet the roads in Tennessee are a lot better than the ones here in Southern California. For starters I bet your rush hour is only an hour. Here it can be as much as 20 hours on a Friday.

You are correct. I turn left out of my drive and pretty much open country wherever I turn. I really enjoy just a 30 minute ride in my local area.
