BMW 1M VO in Bornem, Belgium

Thursday I laid eye on the 1M in VO for the first time.
Had it ordered in black untill then. On first sight I told my friend: this is going to be my color! It was a sunny day, the color really shines then.

Made some pictures and 3 short clips while driving across the parking lot.
Sorry for the bad sound quality... I can tell you it sounded perfect to my opinion! Nice and refined, loud enough, but still subtle.

Can't wait for mine to arive end of june!







And some pictures:

Looks great, I think I am leaning more towards VO then AW. AW is looking pretty plain Vanilla IMO.

Fixed this for you. In general, just insert the video code between the tags, or -- even easier -- just put the full URL without the u2b tags and it gets embedded automatically.


Best regards,

I second that. You can see a normale 1-series convertible in AW in the last pic. Just a little plain in comparison.
I do think VO is not going to be at its best in dark weather, black or white will be better then I guess. It needs the sun, just like the valencia oranges
