I felt I was threadjacking the Glacier Silver photo thread so made my own. I think it looks how i want it, for now.

Is that the gloss black accent on the interior (just below the brushed aluminium)?

Yes, it blends in perfectly.

Mines identical except for the debadge. I'm so glad I got the Coral, it looks great with GS and the brushed aluminum with gloss as well. I'm liking the wheels more and more every day because they don't show the brake dust. Now I have to find some rubber mats because I trail run and don't want to screw up the stock mats. Have some Weathertechs on the X1 but they would cover up foot rest on the left so I'm waiting on some BMW mats. Thanks for posting pictures so I don't have to. What's a window tint cost?

Quotes I got for tint were from $180-250.
The high being dealer pricing.
I went thru D at Conquered Sun in Barrington Chicagoland. Very professional.

Your car looks great! However, I'm not entirely sold on the color match of the iND painted reflectors. They seem a tad off... I'm planning on also ordering from iND, but in EBII instead. I hope those matches my car extremely well or I might have to send them back, or keep the orange reflectors.

Looks great. Just needs some dark mirror caps so it doesn't look like a miss match.

135? or M235? I had a 08 135i M sport for two yrs prior to the M3. Liked it a lot, especially its size.
I would say the M235i is around 80-85% as incredible as the M3. It was very hard however to use that extra 20% in chicagoland. Poor roads and low spd limits are bad for v8s with 8400rpm. The M3 had incredible road connection and felt so precise in cornering. The only way to compare a M235i to an M3 is to be in Sport + mode. Once there I have no regrets over the trade in. The power comes right away and is still linear and smooth. The steering in sport mode makes you forget how strange the steering felt when I first drove one in comfort. In sport the steering is connected and well weighted. The new tech is amazing as well.
In no way is this car superior to the M3, especially if you track, however for everyday driving it is a easier car to live with and still provides a near full on M experience. I said this to my friends the other day. "The M235i is beautiful bmw looking and a blast to drive, its just not as bada$$ as the M3"

Mirrors and rear reflector delete are next. I think I will go Gloss Black for the caps to match the grills and window trim.

Good man

Although I think the rear reflector breaks up the rear end nicely.

Only took him out to get some air as another Chi member asked to see Glacier/red in person. Walking and CTA until this melts. I wouldn't be able to get thru my alley.
