Delivery day - Montego 128i

Took delivery of my 128 today. Went for a drive, then spent the rest of the evening playing with the Ipod and radio, as well as fixing some of the settings. Some of the settings were odd. everything was set to US units. One touch up on the windows was turned off, and the first level of the turn signal was set to 1 flash.

Some observations. It was a bit of a gamble ordering the casmere silver interior trim but I like it. In some light it looks silver, but at other times it has a warmer, bronze, gold, silver mix. It breaks up the otherwise all black interior, and also ties it into the lighter haedliner. One detail I missed on my test drive, There are silver accents on the glove box handle, and on the air vent sliders. Also, there are no headlight washers and the headlights have dual projectors(they are xenon, but not adaptive).


When the dealer went to regiser the plates, the vin came up with an error. The 1 series hasn't been entered in the Motor vehicle Computer system yet. One neat thing though, I called the regisrty and had them dig through the available plates, and I got a plate ending in -128.

I'll post up more pics and observations tomorrow

Not in Canada. We get sport Package ZAI and it includes the sport suspension, sport seats, and the Wspoke 18" wheels.

Yeah, on the 128 premium(canadian) it gets Bi-Xenon, but adaptive lights are an extra $490.

Yup, leatherette sport seats, They seem comfortable. They have way more adjustments then I will ever need. One thing I noticed, I test drove a 135 with leather, and the bolsters on the bottom of that seat seamed slightly higher and stiffer then mine. Also, every time I get in or out, I rub against the side bolster, so hopefully the leatherette will wear well. I have seen a lot of germany cars with leather sports seats with wear on the bolster.

Thanks for the compliments guys. When I was going through the delivery, people kept coming into the delivery area to see my car. And they were ignoring the Black M3 coupe in the next bay, as they had seen so many come through already, but this was the first 1er.

Oh, and anyone in Edmonton , there should be a Licence plate ***-135 at a regisrty on the westend if you're interested.

Mmmmmmontego! I love this color! I'm so glad I got it.

Though, LeMans Blue will always be my favorite

very easy. With the ignition on but not running (ie push the start botton with out your foot on the clutch) Use the up down toggle and BC button on the turn signal stalk. it's all in the owners manual

No shadowline on 128? ... balls ...

Nice colour combo though. The cashmere silver interior trim with blue reminds me of my old MP3.

That is quite gimped, Seems like importing a US 128 might be a better deal, I would rather the sunroof over the heated seats anyway.
