I got it today! Pics of my SGM + Terra + grey poplar

Thud · 04-12-2008, 03:17 PM

The car came in to the dealership a couple days ago and I showed up at 9:30 this morning to do the paperwork.

The SGM + Terra combo looked much better in person than I had hoped for- it looks very sophisticated! And no, I do NOT see any purple in the paint!

So without further delay...

Still at the dealership but already coated in pollen. :eyebulge:

Now some more photos taken later in the day...

I tried to do some "enhancing" on this one to tone balance the light and dark... it's funny how hard it is to accurately capture the interior color. It's a darker shade of brown than it appears in the pictures-- and it looks different in almost every picture!

Some more photos.... in all its pollen-coated glory!

Beautiful combo, congrats!

GT3 · 04-12-2008, 03:30 PM

Many congrats, your car looks amazing! :w00t: The SGM with Terra looks awesome. I love the door panels. If I wasn't going AW/Coral this would certainly be my next choice!

Justin(OKC) · 04-12-2008, 03:37 PM

sweet!! Makes me wish I had considered the grey poplar more with the terra I ordered.

Dave135i · 04-12-2008, 03:54 PM

Gorgeous! Great combo.

I LOVE IT. BIG CONGRATS Thud.

I will get the grey poplar, BUT now I must decide between Terra and Coral ???????

Alpharetta... a few miles north of BMW in roswell.

Thud · 04-12-2008, 04:33 PM

Thanks guys!
My only complaint is the sound system. I don't normally care about listening to music in the car (mainly just for background noise) so I didn't get the upgraded sound system.... but the base sound system is about on par with a clock radio.

Sometime down the road I might go aftermarket though.

atr_hugo · 04-12-2008, 04:34 PM

Thud - that looks great - what color is the headliner? It looks like a brownish gray.

Zuzu · 04-12-2008, 04:35 PM

Congrats..Looks fantastic.Nice Combo.

Headliner is a cream color. Probably the same as "taupe" as far as interior colors. I kind of like it, it brightens up the interior a bit and works well with the two-tone doors. My last car had a black headliner, and it was nice, but also felt like a cave at times.

spudw · 04-12-2008, 04:38 PM

Thud, one of my favorite combos... really nice.

Troyn · 04-12-2008, 04:48 PM

Congrats! :w00t:

Nice color choice.

GatoGrande · 04-12-2008, 04:52 PM

Hey Hey! Nice Color combo!!! I am partial to it as this is the same color combo I got. THe only difference i went with the Burlwood trim... love the GrayPoplar too though... enjoy!!

Thud,

I too thought the standard system was sub-par until I changed the settings and it came alive... try these settings treble +7 and the base +4 or +5...

Wow... She's HOT! Gotta love the patented BMW SAG (tm) - Silly ass grin. I had the same one on my face when picking up too. You are going to love this car. My e90 had SGM/Terra/Poplar too. VERY nice combo.

knightps · 04-12-2008, 05:30 PM

Congrats, looks great. I am huge fan of the SGM color on these cars. Still over a month to go for mine, ugh.
