Ordered May 21'st and got our prod # the 23rd. Dealer had one chassis left
that he could configure for us. The build complete was 6/7/11 so I guess that's it's birthday??

Yep,
The little plastic letters/numbers stayed on for about 15 miles.

Strange... that's a 35i with a 35is front bumper?

I thought 35i comes with silver grill? Mine did. The grill on yours are usually the 30i grills. Congrats!

Flip,
I had our salesman put a pair of the 30i grilles in the trunk. $48 each for the black grilles. I didn't really like the look of the matte silver when all the other front treatment is black. I do like the way i turned out.
Thanks!

Thanks! I'm still impressed at how much grunt this thing has STOCK. The looks are a big bonus.

Looks terrific! Are those an optional 35i 19" wheel? I absolutely love the 326Ms, but at this point I don't know if I'll be able to find a 35is (for that matter the 35i seem to be drying up too).

DT,
Those are the standard 325M wheels 18" that come with the MSport option.
I thought they were too plain till I saw them in person. I like 'em now.
Thanks,

[DT] · 07-18-2011, 01:54 PM

Yeah, those are very sharp. I couldn't quite tell about the size, some designs look larger/smaller because of the lip/spokes/etc.

My wife is kind of set on blue (DSB), she had a blue Z3, lighter variant, but that was one of her favorite rides of all time. Blue is normally not one of my preferred colors, but I love it on BMWs. When we finally get around to getting this rolling (travel, work, family, etc., has pretty much made it impossible right now), I think we're favoring blue with a black or white interior, white or black with a red interior.

Of course, given the fewer and fewer cars available, we might not be able to be too picky (for the record, I won't drive green with a purple interior ....

)

I also placed the black 30i grilles on my wife's 35i after I added the M Sport front bumper - it looks great and enjoy.
