The Imperial Entrance!

Shaw · 02-12-2014, 01:19 PM

She's home!
F15 35d Luxury Line
Imperial Blue
Mocha Dakota
Fineline Pure Wood Trim

20" Y-Spoke alloy wheels - Style 451 (summer)
19" Star Spoke Lt Alloy Wheels, Style 449 (Winter Tire package)

Rear Comfort Seats package

Premium Package:
- Universal Remote Control
- Comfort Access
- Chrome Line Exterior
- Black High Gloss Roof Rails
- Manual Side Sunshades
- Lumbar Support
- Heated Rear Seats
- Automatic 4-Zone Climate Control
- Lights Package
- Surround View
- BMW On-Board Navigation
- Head-Up Display
- SIRIUS Satellite Radio Tuner
- Harman/Kardon Sound System

Winter package comes as Standard for Canadian vehicles....

Couple of very early notes:
*** I remember a topic some time ago on the Instrument Cluster...I got the Extended version with my Premium package...I remember some folks were saying that it only comes with technology package, well I don't have that package and the extended cluster is there somehow...***

*** The engine noise IS INCREDIBLY QUITE!!! Very impressed...for those who are hesitating...you wouldn't even notice the difference***

***Acceleration is AMAZING!!! The Torque is a MONSTER!!!***

***The color combo turned out fantastic...the Mocha Dakota is actually much darker than what you see in the photo (flash gives the brown a red undertone, which is not the case...it's got more a grey undertone and couldn't be any better than this combo...wifey extremely happy with the Blue/Mocha/Trim combo!) ***

Also...Added the 2 photos with Performance Tires and 20" rim here again before they installed the winter tires for a comparison...(can't wait for summer though...lol)

If anything else comes to mind...will update...so far so good!

^^^UPDATE II: Because I wanted Mocha DAKOTA vs. NAPPA, I had to settle for the Standard Seats as sadly the Comfort Seats didn't come with Dakota...I was a bit skeptical about it before...having driven the car with the standard, I must say, the seats are perfectly fine and comfortable, no regrets whatsoever...^^^
^^^UPDATE III: One thing I am not impressed with is the color of the fog-lights ...when they are turned on together with the headlights, one is white (headlights), the other (fog-lights) are yellow! which is very unattractive...not sure what they were thinking when they designed this...! ^^^
^^^UPDATE IV: HK system is AWSOME!!!! Crystal and Beautiful...balanced surround system...very happy! Also, the Lighting Package is funny, impressive, silly, amazing,...all at the same time...Orange, Blue, White, combo,...I'm sure the kids will love it...lol..^^^

Splendid! I switched from Imperial Blue to Sparkling Brown and have doubts having seen that. Congratulations!

Dank u Meneer...just make sure it is the color that you want at the end...that's what matters!
My 3 series is Sparkling Bronze...so we didn't want to have 2 similar colors...otherwise Sparkling Brown would have been the one I would choose...

Looks awesome. Thanks so much for posting the your pictures - it validates our choice to go with blue/mocha/fineline pure. Hopefully it will be in the UK next week.
Enjoy your car.

you're too fast....haven't tried it yet...lol
but will let you know...
with all fairness...I wasn't unhappy with my professional BMW system which is in my 3series...so whatever this system is better than the previous one, is a surplus to me

ryno8551 · 02-12-2014, 03:51 PM

Love that mocha interior!

DrDoreen · 02-12-2014, 04:22 PM

Very Beautiful, love the Imperial Blue!

midlifecrisis · 02-12-2014, 05:04 PM

I think I'm falling in love with Imperial Blue, too! It looks fantastic!

Congrats on a great car!

Zipforia · 02-12-2014, 10:50 PM

Damn! I like that blue! If it came in M-Sport line, this is the color I would've chosen.

Shaw congratulations on your new car as for extended cluster i think you got it because you ordered heads up display

e92m3_f15x5 · 02-12-2014, 11:27 PM

Congrats Shaw.

What is "Extended Dash"? I really much have the same options as you, minus the rear comfort seats. Is this something that comes with the Canadian premium package?

daeONE · 02-13-2014, 12:11 AM

Looking great Shaw! You're going to love it. I concur with all you say about the diesel. Drove a F15 35d for the first time today and it's very quiet, smooth,
and pulls fantastic for something that will get such great fuel economy. Mine finished production yesterday and can't wait to get it!

Head-up display comes with Premium Package here in Canada...I did not order it separately...

It was a conversation in a few other threads...the extended instrument cluster is the LCD part being extended all the way across your inst. cluster vs. being only halfway I suppose...
try searching for instrument cluster in the F15 forum, some friends have actually put up comparison photos...
