New AW 20i - XBimmers

ozbmwx3 · 01-12-2013, 05:15 AM

Picked up AW 20i yesterday. Surprised to see Continentals on the 309s. I was expecting Pirelli. So far exceeds my expectations. With the 8 speed trans it ticks over 2750 RPM @ 100kph.

Bit too sunny this time of the year. Window tinting coming up.

Did you have your 309's re-painted darker or plasti-dipped? They are darker than usual.

I had the dealer paint them in what some call "shadow chrome" after seeing a set the same colour in the showroom. Cost $550AUD (approx $575USD). They passed through the cost without adding a margin, which was jolly good of them.
