Here's mine. I just picked it up on 7/22. I'm having a blast driving it! I've already put on 250 miles.

thanks for the pics Cloud9
I have to wait till 8/15 for mine....you are making the wait harder.

Cloud9 the alum trim looks real good with white, gives the whole car a very sporty/shiny kinda look.

scottz5 · 07-24-2005, 05:02 PM

I also Like the Alum trim, we almost have twins!

5 pages of AW! WOW

Who was that moron reporter for USA Today that wrote the e90 looks "especially bad" in AW? It's all a matter of opinion but that's definately overkill. Anyway we all know it's a beautiful automobile!

I am getting ready to finalize my order, am leaning toward the Tera interior with Popler wood trim.

Any comments from someone who has seen this combo would be appreciated.

Thanks

AW ROCKS!!! I would have got AW if SG wasn't available!

gemini330zhp · 07-25-2005, 02:41 PM

Wow very clean. Good job people!!!!!!

LEDZEP · 07-25-2005, 02:49 PM

I considered Terra, but it is VERY orange. Not to squabble tastes, but make you've seen it in person before you order it. Just be sure you like it.

gemini330zhp · 07-29-2005, 02:34 AM

Any Alpine white Owners have any factory spoilers on your car?

I would if BMW had them painted already.

Jess · 08-03-2005, 12:31 AM

Here's my baby. Picked it up tonight after waiting 2 months. AW thread is growing!

scottz5 · 08-03-2005, 07:51 AM

That poor bumper with the holes! God it looks sad! Good luck!

Jess · 08-03-2005, 08:58 AM

Yea, I had told the dealer 2x not to drill the holes in the front but oh well...I was kinda upset when I saw it but I got over it....you cant tell while on the road, only up close. The drive is so awesome that it helps me get over the little things....

gemini330zhp · 08-03-2005, 12:00 PM

yeah the holes suck might as well get a BMW Plate on front.

Bimmer4Life · 08-08-2005, 12:58 AM

my last car was also white; seeing the E90 in white makes me want to change my order from Monaco Blue to white... .. too late now; I am pincking up the Monaco Blue this week. The white is really smashing!!!

Terra is many things, but never orange except in pictures. IRL it´s dark brown, reddish (kind of blood red) at worst, but never ever orange.

Granted, It´s still not to everyones taste, but as said, IRL it allways looks completely different from pictures.

Except of course in the pictures I took

BTW, about terra and poplar: They don´t match very well. Burl or aluminium are way better matches for terra. Aluminium is best for AW or TiAg

After living with the AW/terra/poplar combo for a while I must agree with your comment about terra/poplar. If I had a do over I would choose burl. However, when available I will install a carbon fiber trim kit, which I think will look great with this interior. If anyone knows of one please post details.
