Pics after Detail!

phennighausen · 09-21-2012, 07:03 PM

Hey Guys!

Just got my car back from detailing today. I knew a while ago I said I would post some more pictures. Well finally I got around to taking some more. They aren't that great but they'll do.

Congrats on the ride!! Nice 997S in the garage

Looks like we have similar taste in cars!!

Going to pick up our 2013 RWD 328i Sportline in Mineral Grey/black tomorrow afternoon

looks sharp, interesting that you were able to get the 'sport' badges in the US!

Awesome, where did you get the sport badges?

Same question How did you get the sport badge? Please let us know

Well interesting story about the badges. I ordered the car and my dealer found it in the area. It was at port and judging from the window sticker looked like it might've been destined for an auto show or something. Needless to say when my dealer got it from port it already had the badges on it. I guess maybe it snuck through. I like them though, mine is like the only one with it!

I would guess you could order them from ECS tuning?

A question about the wheels, are they the 17" 397 style ? With wider rear tires than the front ?

So how's it different from the Porsche and Audi? What makes it unique? Just curious.

Well the fact that it is a manual makes it pretty unique in my point of view. I was at my parent's house when I took these pictures. It's interesting to see how different the cars feel.

The A8L is sublime, with the 6.3 W12 engine it goes like no other and just feels so smooth and refined. The interior is spectacular. The 991 S is ludicrously fast, makes all the right noises, and handles beautifully. I can't say I don't look forward to driving any of them but my 3-series is the perfect car for me, just the right size so I can carry people but it's not unwieldy. Just feels like home I guess. Unless I'm sitting in the back of the A8L getting a back massage, that feels pretty nice for home!
