***Claudia Wimmer 2007 BMW 118i: It's here!!!***

[cawimmer430]

My sister's 2007 BMW 118i just arrived at the dealership this morning. The car is currently being cleaned and checked that everything is functioning normally and properly. It will be registered next week because my sister will be coming back from Bruchsal to pick it up..

Here are some crappy pictures I quickly took of the car when it was being cleaned. The color is Havanagrey and is quite elegant. More pictures when the car is fully registered. Enjoy!

Congratulations to you and your sister!

Great looking car. Interior is a bulls eye! Not a fan of ext color, but it's great anyway.

Many happy miles!

Say hi to Claudia from me

We all want to hear your sisters opinion on the car when she tried it out.

Ps, Ask her to register here

Thanks!

I just phoned her up an hour ago and told her to get her lazy a$$ down here so the car can be registered.

We're going up to the BMW dealership again at 4:30 PM because the salesman wants to show my dad and I a few things about the car. Right now it's 1:21 PM here.

I bet your sister is excited.

but how are the rest of your family treating her after this act of treason? ....a BMW -- you must be outraged Chris.

I will. I'll tell her the boys from GCF say hi.

Good idea, I'll try to convince her to register here.

LOL

We like the car. Remember, my sister was torn between the VW Golf, Opel Astra GTZ, Mercedes C-Class Sportcoupe, BMW 3er Compact and the BMW 1-Series.

Congrats but how come you went for Havanagrey?

Congrats but how come you went for Havanagrey?

My father and I were originally looking at WHITE, but the dealer advised against it because it's next to impossible to sell a white luxury car in Germany. Germans have just not caught unto this elegant color.

So then we considered blue, silver and black. Black was too boring for our tastes, and everybody else has a silver BMW 1-Series. Blue was a beautiful color but then we discovered a Havannagrey 120d in the showroom and the color looked really classy, sporty and simply sexy. We made our decision right there.

Here's a pre-facelift 1-Series in Havanagrey BTW photographed on Sunday.

Congratulations to your sisters new car!! Havanagrey looks really good on the 1-series. I hope she will enjoy her new car and maybe she allows you to make a short test drive... Can't wait to see some more pictures of it!

She'll let me drive it, for sure.

In fact she wants me to drive to Bruchsal (near Stuttgart) for her because she's afraid to touch it. I'm serious!

More pictures coming up perhaps later today or when the car has a license plate and I can bring it to some places with nice background scenery.

I like to take nice pictures. A nice background is a must!

The car is great! Just don't piss on your pants with all this joy Wimmer!

PS. I am digging on this colour. Basically it's the first time i see it (!) and i can't really imagine it IRL. Another thing: Hadn't you ordered the Climatronic system? This "manual" A/C unit looks very cheap IMO and doesn't add to the luxurious and sporty feel of the car...

That's good. Both my sister and my gf don't let me touch their cars

The pre-facelift 118i I sampled was pretty fun. This should be better.

I think the interior is fine. It's pretty platicky, yes, but the plastics are of good quality and they do feel good. The interior looks perfect for an entry-level premium car.

What can I say, we have a good brother-sister relationship.

Interior materials have been updated and with better quality for facelifted 1er, according to BMW.

That was exactly what I thought, when I saw the first interior picture! But I think the "manual" A/C is absolutely adequate for the 1-series (nevertheless I would go for the Climatronic and would renounce an automatic transmission)!

The only thing I can think, it would make the BMW 1-Series to be a cool car it would be Claudia Wimmer driving one.

Nice colour btw.

Happy Motoring!
