Nothing special, but she did receive a WG Auto Bathe bath followed by FD.



UPP one month ago.



I was playing around with placing my Maui Jims in front of the lens for direct sunlight days and I would say that it warms up the pictures quite a bit (the whole reason for taking this picture).

Very nice.

So it's really silver? I think that color would be awesome if it was a real color.

 

[thinksnow]

No, it is actually a very rare tan/gold. I forgot what the actual name of the color is. For whatever reason, when I took direct sunlight pics without any polarized lens, this car always ends up looking silver. With the polarized lens, you get to see the true color.

*edit* Here's another angle:

Here is the same angle, same time of day (plus 2 seconds) but without my sunglasses in front of the lens. Notice how washed out the picture appears. The license plate frame in the front should be a dark orange and the paint should be the darker shade it is in the above photos (not to mention the driveway, background vegetation etc...). Interesting to say the least.

Could it be "kalahari beige" ? I believe the newer cars use this color and it sure looks like it, but then again the picture may have something to do with it.



Beautiful color anyway

That is the color. Thanks for the helping hand. You NEVER see this color on the big boys and rarely on the 3-series. I love a 330ci in the khalahari.

Great job! Interesting pics!

color! I've never seen that before on any BMW around here. BTW, I'll bet you just love cleaning those rims.

The brake dust from those front wheels rivals that of the new Expeditions. Couple that with the intricacy of the wheel design and you have 30-45 minutes on the wheels alone. I have used #20 and EX on these and the dust STILL gets jammed up on there. When I have a good 3 hours one day, I'm going to try the Klasse twin route.

*edit* AMP01--have you found a good aftermarket pad to use to cut down on the dusting?
