MY13 328 M Sport in Pics

mattj3 · 08-25-2013, 09:28 PM

Took a while to get time to both wash the car and take pics. Attached a few.

2013 328i M Sport
Delivered July 19
8AT
Mineral Grey/Black Leather/Al Hex/Black Highlight
Premium, Tech, Lighting
HK Sound, PDC
Mods: CF Rear Lip Spoiler, Black Grilles, CF Shifter, IND match-painted plate frames

My previous car was a Sparkling Graphite E90, and I ended up hating the color. I'm incredibly happy with the MG, as they removed the purple hues found in SG. I love the way the color can be both dark grey and nearly space grey as the light changes - really accentuates the lines throughout the day.

Overall, I'm ecstatic with the car, even with auto tranny (not new news on this forum that someone at the dealership changed the order from ZMT to 8AT while it was in priority 2). I'd love to have had the option for a grey leather and factory CF trim, but I suppose that means I'll just have to upgrade to a M3 or M4 next.

I hate having a front plate - damn street parking. At least the plate is nerderific and subtle enough that only people on this forum will get it. And the color-matched frames help.

Reflectors are next.

Nice pics, congrats! I love the MG look in dusk/darkness... very menacing.

the differences in day/night has me torn on how i would like to dress my MG. at night i love, the black contrast with darker wheels but in the daylight when its a lighter color, a nice set of silver wheels look great also. thats the beautfy of MG though and i know we will like it no matter how we end up doing it

I've always like the contrast of silver wheels against greys. For the same reason, I like black wheels on white.
