Bullet Blue's BMW 128i

Hey folks,

Just picked up my 2008 BMW 128i!

Some quick pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/22780465@N07/

I'll post more/better ones when I get back from driving it all day  ;D

Let me be the first to congratulate you and welcome you to the BMW club on here. Way to go. Very sharp car, BB, and I think the 128i is great value in this car.

The deeper blue car, once cleaned up and waxed, will be stunning. Didn't even know you were looking at BMW, but congrats again.

When I look at this BMW. It reminds me of a BMW 2002. ;)

Thanks guys! I'm really happy with it. One of the best driving cars I've driven in a long time. I'll give a more detailed report later.

Let me be the first to congratulate you and welcome you to the BMW club on here. Way to go. Very sharp car, BB, and I think the 128i is great value in this car.

Thanks, feels good to be a part of the club  ;D It's actually jet black, not deep blue. The car is actually full of salt now since I had it out all day  >:(

Thanks MKII! Yeah this was not really a planned thing in that I was going to replace the Acura in the summer, but it was such a great car and such a great deal to pass up. Yes, it has the sport package with 18 inch wheels. Also has the comfort package.

So will you change your name now to Bullet Black? Also you do know BMW means Brake My Windows.  ;D :P

I'm only saying that to make you worry because I'm  jealous  :-*

BB - "It's actually jet black, not deep blue."

Well, darn it, if it were clean, I could tell for sure............. ;) ;) ;D

I assumed it was Carbonblack, which is actually a very deep blue, but you say it's Jet Black. There is also Sapphire Black. BMW seems to have about 3 shapes of black. But, Jet Black, is non-metallic, hard-core BLACK.

Sharp car, regardless of the shade of black. Looking forward to the "clean" pix.. ;D

Wow. Really nice car. Congrats!

I was going to say how gorgeous it looks in dark blue, but I guess I'll now say how much I love the black.

Looks fantastic. The 1ers have such a personality when I see 'em on the road, and heard from behind the wheel too.

Interior shots next please!  ;D

The C30 may be jealous, but enjoy every minute!
