Congrats, very nice!

Can you take a picture of the interior ambient lighting in both amber and white?

MassBimmer · 02-09-2012, 08:28 AM

I believe this was originally going to be a dealer demo but a friend at the dealer helped get us into it!

congrats.

Can258 · 02-09-2012, 02:55 PM

In the second picture the Rings are lit however looks like the strip above rings aren't lid ? Or is it just because of the camera ?

I thought it was also possible to make the rings light up together with the strips without turning on the Xenons.

So DRL is the one without the strip and Park lights include the strip ? Is that correct ?

pretty sure that little bar(even tho its hard to see even when its lit) is part of the drl with the rings

Great Car !

You are one of the first one in So Cal to be driving the F30! Lucky you!

Enjoy it, and please keep us posted on any changes!

what camera did you use to take those pictures! great handling of the shots! especially at night! It's such a reassurance to know someone out there finally knows how to take proper photos of their car!

that's a 18x8.5 VMR v710 et35 in the picture. 35 or 40mm offset works best on this car. The stock 18's have a 34mm offset.
