Oh how sweet she is. I love this car - from the moment I sat down in the seat, I knew it was the ride for me. Pictures don't do this car justice whatsoever.
Now when I walk up to it - I smile like this [wiggle]












Oh how I cannot wait until the weekend and it's supposed to be beautiful!!

Soooo whatcha think?

Thanks!

Hey, here's a stupid question... What blue is this? It's not mystic blue is it? LOL...

Oh this does have quite a bit more legroom than an M3 - I had the seat all the way back in an M3 I drove but my knees were still against the dash just a bit - no problem on this model though.

The color is "Topaz Blue" and the car is awesome!

Nicer than the 2005 models, awesome lines.

Get rid of that front license plate, and you're all set! [thumb]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch/Congratulations!!! It looks beautiful. The blue top is my absolute FAV....I had it on my Orient Blue cic. Topaz Blue is awesome...I love it.

Anyone agree that the front end of this cic looks better than the facelifted 04/05 model? Loved my 04 cics, but look how awesome the foglights and skirting is on his "new" 03 cic. Excellent.

Drive careful, and have fun. Yes...the obsession continues to grow. BMWitis...and there is no cure [:)]

Oh I already do, although I now need to get accustomed to people staring at stop lights..

Yeah that front license plate frame will come off shortly - and the rims...all my buddies commented on those before anything (they are 18").

One thing I would like to do is get the side and back windows tinted. Not a lot, but enough to make a difference. Any suggestions?

grab some of the silver blinker bulbs as well... they're cheap and it will get rid of that yellow/orange look on the corner lights.. otherwise.. it's looking quite nice, congrats and welcome.

Hey where's the owner's manual kept? No way it'll fit in the glove box..

Hmmm...might have to go back to the dealer and pick it up if they removed it until it was sold.

Beautiful car [bmwdance] the manual should be in your glove box all together with the sound system manual and the safety booklet. Btw did you get all your keys? it seems some people sometimes don't get the whole set : 2 masters 1 valet and 1 plastic one. [cheers]

Very nice car and yes the color does look like Topaz Blue Metallic. To be sure open the hood look at the right strut tower. The color will be posted there in German. If it says Topasblau Metallic then it is Topaz Blue. BMW only produced that color in the 2002/2003-model year. It is one of my favorite BMW colors, but I may be a bit biased.

The front of your car is my favorite year besides the ZHP and M3 front fascia. I love how the turn indicators point down instead of the new way they point up.

You will get use to the stares. It just comes with owning a BMW and a beautiful car. Great car enjoy and happy motoring..... [driving2]

P.S. That very well could be Mystic Blue as well. When it is not sunny Topaz Blue changes drastically with shading. Mystic Blue is a bit darker overall than Topaz....
