This is the first time I have seen this color combo. When I heard about it I wanted it right away. I live in the desert and it was 110 the other day. Black is tough. Even my X5. 4.8is is black with Nappa beige leather and thats scalding when I get it. But this is perfect light color and light interior. It had a 48.5K sticker and we got it for 42,500. Nav premium and sport packages with Steptronic tranny and paddles.
Bedding in the brakes seemed to help the bad rotor I thought it had.

very nice addition to the GT3. . .sexy.

Seems to be a lack of contrast.

wow man looks nice!! It's very clean.

I have a titanium silver over black 328xi, but that wouldn't work too well in the desert! Unless you like fried ass....

I'm on my third Silver/Gray bimmer: '99 328i, '02 530i, '06 330i. For some reason, I'm addicted to that combo.

By the way I really like the way the brushed aluminum looks as opposed to the burled wood in my E90. I may have to mod.

Porsche and Bimmer == baller.

I dont think there are many 50 year old ballers!! My OTHER car is the BMW X5 4.8is Hot rod!!!

My son is on the phone and he said it needs contrast. Maybe some different rims.
Rims like my GT3 silver with athracite silver (dark Gray)centers.

The interior is whats really stellar.

Nice car! This is the exact color combo I want except I prefer wood interior. Was it hard for you to negotiate with the dealer to get your car at $42,500?

[kwakr738]

WOW!! The gray looks sweet. I will definitely consider it my next car.

I had that color on my 330ci back in the day. Very nice and clean look. I just got a sparkling graphite on dakota gray and love it. Nice car!

[paulGT3]

328 NO it was not hard at all.
1. Car sat for 3 mos, BMW had money to get rid of it
2. My 4th BMW from same dealer in 2 years
Walking in off the street I probably would have NOT recieved that kind of a deal
3. about 5 times we came to a halt. no deal so he knew I was ready to walk away.

My wife WANTED sparkling gray but it was over BLACK and we dont like black in
the desert.

Um, I think what we have here is a failure to communicate.

From urbandictionary:

1. baller

A thug that has "made it" to the big time. Originally referred ball players that made it out of the streets to make millions as a pro ball player, but now is used to describe any thug that is living large.

Not saying you're a thug or anything, just saying nice rides.

[paulGT3]

OK Tim I take it as a compliment.

Sticky Paws. I live in Ridgecrest some of the time My son is now in my Mammoth place.
When he gets done with college up there we will be back.
