So this happened... Austin Yellow Convertible

F83 · 06-07-2015, 04:26 PM

Finally took the plunge and got my first M. Third BMW but first M. Barely stopped driving it long enough to take these pictures and post. I know not everyone would choose a convertible but... works for me.

Congratulations!

SakhirM4 · 06-07-2015, 04:28 PM

Congrats. Looks great!!!

bmw246 · 06-07-2015, 04:35 PM

Love it! Convertible ftw! Can't wait for mine!

AIRPOWER · 06-07-2015, 04:41 PM

Dude, FANTASTIC color combination on the F83! The vert was my first choice until I tested the M3. Also CONGRATS on your first M, my first one as well arrives in two weeks.

My previous BMWs were 1982 323i, 1995 318l, 2007 335i and 2009 335i.

Best of luck with her!

Siciliano611 · 06-07-2015, 05:09 PM

Nice green vert

GOLFFRR · 06-07-2015, 05:23 PM

very cool! I don't think I have seen many AY verts so far posted. Looks great. Congrats and enjoy the new ride. Looks like you have some nice vert weather going on there as well

F83 · 06-07-2015, 06:02 PM

Thanks guys. Yeah, it's 85 degrees and not a cloud in the sky this weekend in Seattle. Perfect perfect weekend to break it in.

rabman5 · 06-07-2015, 06:12 PM

Enjoy! Now go buy ///M logo shirts, jacket, watch etc.

lsturbointeg · 06-07-2015, 06:14 PM

Nice!!!

Dimitri · 06-07-2015, 08:29 PM

Congrats on the new car, It looks great!

F83 · 06-07-2015, 08:36 PM

I know this is just going to make me sound like an M newbie but... I can't get over the difference in temperament on this car with the different settings. At comfort/efficiency settings the car is tight, but a pretty relaxed driver. Then at Sport Plus it just turns into a barking raging beast. Amazing!

JSCO · 06-07-2015, 08:46 PM

saw an AY F83 yesterday and it looked great...congrats...driving with the top down in sport plus mode is sweet

in seattle though??? Better milk that clear weather while it lasts..

dope

m34jlp · 06-07-2015, 11:08 PM

Love it!

Convertibles have their own set of perks for those accept the fact they will probably never track the car hard enough to notice the performance difference. This probably accounts for 90+% of even enthusiasts on here.

Enjoy it and take in the sounds of the force fed air hardtops block out 😀

Beautiful. Love AY.

Devilzmantis · 06-08-2015, 12:55 AM

Congrats man! Do us a favor... take 1st gear to 4.5K RPM and switch to to 2nd with the top down then let us know how it all felt!!!!

Seattle135is · 06-08-2015, 01:03 AM

Congrats - I'm in the Seattle/Bellevue area- connected with a few guys with F80's/82's/M5's - do few drives in the area - lemme know if you wanna join us sometime...

STooK · 06-08-2015, 01:20 AM

Congrats! Once you have a taste of the top down, it's hard to settle for a coupe/sedan...

nbennettksu · 06-08-2015, 08:05 AM

beautiful

Falafel Combo · 06-08-2015, 09:41 AM

I LOVE IT! Nice job man! This is literally the first AY vert I have seen! I am sure they are very rare!

Welcome to the club!

DslDwg · 06-08-2015, 06:58 PM

Beautiful Score.

I can vouch. Top down acceleration is a blast.
