Most of the posted pictures are from Furka pass in Switzerland. By that time the car got really dirty. Sorry about that.

This one is the only exception.

Furka pass road in Switzerland is a lot of fun. This is where a sporty BMW really shines -- passing VWs and Merces on a 20% uphill after a sharp turn is what this car is all about.

i'd have to agree with that sentiment. didn't realize the car would look so good in white. :thumbup:
Congratulations in the car! :thumbup:

Once again, this just proves that a big appeal of the ZHP is its contrast with lighter colors. That is why I feel the car looks best in TiSi, Imola red, and Alpine white. Not to say the car is not beautiful in the blues and black, but the body kit certainly doesn't come to life as much.

Exactly. I have yet to find a ZHP that does not look good, no matter what color it is. I think the wheels and the aero kit totally transformed the looks of the car. Congratulations!
To be honest, I think the wheels play a bigger role than I expected. I say this because last Christmas I went to Montreal and the dealer there had an M-sport 330i in Imola Red. Basically my current car except for M68 wheels instead of M135's. While I thought the car looked great, I wasn't completely drooling over it. With the M135's it seems to have transformed and actually sells the image of being a sports car. Maybe it's just the bling/rice in me, but the 18" wheels really make a very positive impact. They are worth the effort of cleaning them.

I have M68's for the winter, so we'll see if I feel the same way at the end of the year. :eeps:

sweet, looks like a mini-M5 :thumbup:

Do you have any higher resolution pics? I assume you are still in europe so maybe post when you get back?

TIA

Thanks! And thanks everybody else for your comments!

Unfortunately, I don't have higher resolution versions of the posted pics. Sorry. I made, though, few shots on slides that are not developed yet. When developed and scanned, they will give images with better quality. I will post them then.
