Interior trim/leather colour and Sparkling Graphite(?) all go well together.

yep she's sparkling graphite. love the colour...as the name says it really does sparkle and appear different in colour in sunlight :rocks:

thanks for all the replies. BTW forgot to add...i posted a while ago about a "whistle" from the passenger door. this turned out NOT to be the door seal but a hairline crack in the wing mirror housing. BMW Dealer replaced entire passenger door mirror housing and since then problem resolved, result!

I have exactly the same thing intermittently - it's been driving me mental. Thanks for the tip, will get it checked out. Can you post a link to the thread please?

Beautiful car BTW. Congrats.

not a lot more detail. basically dealer diagnosed in the following way:

- motorway test drive with me to repro issue
- motorway test drive with mirrors in "folded" position, no noise
- motorway test drive with mirrors in normal position, noise back
- motorway test drive with duck-tape all over passenger door mirror, no noise

replaced entire passenger door mirror housing - problem fixed

your dead right the wood on the dash looks like brown wood in the pics but in real life the dary grey poplar wood looks a LOT better and greyer/blacker and classier!!

fits really well with the black dakota.

Nohedes · 09-12-2007, 12:57 PM

Nice pics

How is the ride/handling balance on the 225s?

i find the ride v.good and a lot better in terms of tram lining than i was expecting . last two cars have both been E60's on 18" RFT's so i am used to this kind of setup. if your coming from non-rft or non m-sport suspension it might take a bit of getting used to
