BMW 330Ci floormats (rubber). They fit quite well, and look great!

My stock floormats would be absolutely soiled right now if it weren't for the BMW version.

They were $80-90. BMW has been pressed into the rubber (visible, but not overly distinct).

Follow Marine Drive into UBC, stay on the left lane, till pass the Anthropology Center on your left and a big underground parking lot on your right. You'll see a turn off to your left going down the water. Go down the hill and it should be the first paved parking lot to your left.

If you're going on West 4th, follow it till pass Alma, I think, you'll eventually see a road split to the right down the hill and another left up the hill. Follow the right lane, think there's a sign about a Marina. Go all the way to the water and go along the road and it should be the last paved parking lot on your right, before going up the hill to UBC.

I'm a Vancouver owner. Missed that meet though, that's too bad. Guess I should check the site more often.

The numbers are growing, I'm starting to see all the colours.
Don't think I'd consider the convertable though, it loses the lines of the sloping back.

Sorry for the delay. I ordered mine right at the beginning of Nov. They told me April as delivery and when I called up at the end of May they just kept saying next month. Then they call me up and tell me my car is in without any warning or time to organize finances, so needless to say it pissed me off some.

Fab_vr6 - I'd love to hook up. So far I've only seen one other track in town and it was a PPW down on 4th near UBC. Friend of mine told me that another track owner's in town work with TMR and slid into a curb and toasted the wheel. Hope it wasn't you and you don't want to know how much a replacement costs.

Sucks that I missed the 350/g35 meet but I was at NWN Ambleside get together. Hope more meets come around this summer!

Hey Digerydingo,

No that wasn't me fortunately, I usually avoid curbs like crazy.
I also ordered my track from Morrey, I must say my experience with them are mixed... The original sales left the dealership without anyone notifying me about it until I call to find out, and that was when I was still waiting for my order number and my last car already sold to them as a trade in... they also messed up the price (48500 vs 46500) initially and it took me countless trip before they finally agree to guarantee me the lower MSRP (still without putting it down on paper). However, I got my car 1 month earlier (ordered Dec 20, got the car Mar 24) which is good. The sales manager Paul was also easier to deal with.

About the car, I've found out a few issues... seat rocking, rough idle, gear crunches, shaky shifter when hard accelerating...

I would love to hook up with the Vancouver owners to exchange some infomation soon, anyone interested in a casual meeting next week?

Gary
