Finally! Decent Pics of My Silver Bullet

gregthegr8 · 05-04-2008, 08:44 PM

Finally, I was able to get my hands on a digital camera for all of 5 minutes in bad lighting, but enough excuses, let's see some damn pics already! Enjoy!

Headliner Pic for SilverBullet135:

Here's what the wheels look like after cleaning them 10 miles earlier:

And now a cell phone camera pic I took yesterday after finally cleaning my lens so it doesn't look like I'm taking it through a nylon stocking:

very nice. i love the 4th one up from the bottom. so aggressive looking.

gregthegr8 · 05-04-2008, 09:11 PM

We need to get a socal 1er get together one of these days now that like 5 or 6 of us on here have our cars. Off the top of my head I know we have 3 silvers, 2 blacks, and an SGM. And I should be the only one without the sports package. waaaaaa.

GORGEOUS!!! Titanium Silver is stunning!

Great pics!

gregthegr8 · 05-04-2008, 09:31 PM

Saw one yesterday! Also a Montego Blue and a SGM. All convertibles!! Automatics, but they looked great! I have a feeling I'm going to have one of the only 1ers in TiAg with Savannah. I don't think it's a common combo. I PRAY it looks OK. The 'vert won't be in for quite a while... probably 2 months. Another agonizing wait.

Gonna put some Griots or Zaino on yours?

mrgoochio · 05-05-2008, 12:19 AM

Very slick ride ya got there

Rippy087 · 05-05-2008, 12:42 AM

Awesome car! I saw my first 1er in person today in Boston. Silver 128i driving down comm ave. Stunning car and I love the tint. What percent is that?

The chrome trim around the tinted windows are really nice in the first couple of pics. :thumbup:

+1... % please!!

gregthegr8 · 05-05-2008, 02:43 AM

Thanks for all the great comments. Needless to say, I'm loving the car and think it just looks amazing...almost perfect. As far as the tint goes, it's a 30% huper optik tint which I still think is a little dark for what I was going for, but I think with the silver car and the chrome trim, I definitely would rather go too dark than too light.

One of the main reasons I didn't get the sports package is cause I really wanted that chrome trim and think it frames that car's lines so well. The tint really accentuates it and makes it stand out.

Now if only I weren't so crazy and anal about the car, protecting it from the real world as if it's a baby with no skin or something. While taking those pics this fly kept landing on the car and I would run over and scream at it. You can actually see it on top of the trunk in like the fourth picture...that little bastard! ha! Thanks again and hope everyone enjoys the pics.

Silver + tint really succeed with the 1. Good job.

BMW Dreamer · 05-05-2008, 03:03 AM

Awesome. I love the tint and palm trees, Lucky. Great car and great life in a great area.

taylor82 · 05-05-2008, 03:03 AM

very nice! the chrome window trim looks great with tiag and tints!

sunking420 · 05-05-2008, 06:45 AM

If my Acura wasn't the same color, I would have gotten this instead of the SGM. I'm happy with some of the SGM photos. This silver is a great "dirt" color. If you're busy for a couple of days and can't wash when it's filthy, no one will really notice. I hope the SGM works out the same way....Good luck and Safe Motoring!!!!!!

rektek · 05-05-2008, 09:17 AM

Sweet. I really like the brushed window trim. The black on mine looks a little plastic-cheap. Perfect tint.

PrimoM3 · 05-05-2008, 11:35 AM

TiAg FTMFW! Mine should arrive by Wednesday!

One thing that is starting to bother me though is that rear diffuser. The more I see it from straight on shots of the rear, the more I dislike it. I'm hoping it looks better in person... can't remember from my test drive.

Congrats on the ride!

///M ichael · 05-05-2008, 11:51 AM

So sexy....

Like the tints!!
Are you thinking black grill??

sadu77 · 05-08-2008, 05:25 PM

what tints did you go with??

Brandon26pdx · 05-08-2008, 05:36 PM

Looks nice. Nice looking neighborhood. What part of town do you live in?
