- Owning a convertible BMW can be pretty cool! The way it transforms is eye catching, the sound of the exhaust sounds so much better, and the breeze you get with the open top is unbeatable. But see people are so quick to point out the positives without paying attention to the cons of owning a BMW with the hardtop convertible equipped. Today I'll give you seven reasons why you may want to reconsider buying one.

Just released a Vehicle Virals shirt featuring the BMW from this video. I have less than 100 available! vehiclevirals.com/products/bmw-3-series-in-motion
What about the coils, I have seen videos of which he talks about how they break down fast.

Help with my 2002 bmw 330i car got hit on front bumper the air bags in gaged now car will not start where do I start to trouble shoot why car will not start ???
The battery is brand new ???????
A bro I wanted to ask you a question about cleaning the rubber seals because I'm about to buy a bmw hardtop convertible. My question was what makes the rubber seals dirty what if I never put the top down will the rubber seals still get dirty
i have this same car 2008 model and i have one of the trim piece missen. will the link provide me with the part that will work/fit for mine? just asking. will appreciate any response
I’ve owned two of these cars. My first was a 2011 328i hardtop convertible. Great car. But after 4 years and 1 minor issue unrelated to the top, I moved on and bought a 2015 428i hardtop convertible. It’s an even better car. And it gets fantastic gas mileage...better than any car it’s size has a right to get. Additionally, that 3 banger is faster than my last one was with it’s straight six. It’s roomier, quieter, faster, and just more comfortable than my 328i ever was. This car hasn’t had a single issue. That’s 8 years of straight BMW hardtop convertible ownership, both originally purchased as Certified Used cars, and in all, there’s been but ONE very minor issue that had nothing to do with the top. The tops on both have been absolutely flawless. Neither has ever failed to operate perfectly. This is one car I would DEFINITELY BUY AGAIN and AGAIN!!! They’ve been better than any other cars I’ve ever owned. Incidentally, I had a tow hitch from “Hidden Hitch” installed on both of these cars. There’s nothing better than a day out on the water with your high powered jet ski except when you get to launch it from the back of your BMW convertible with it’s top down. It makes the fun significantly better. And when I finish riding my ski, I know that the fun isn’t over, because I get to tow it behind my BMW convertible.
There’s definitely BMW cars that have a horrible reputation. THIS ISN’T SUCH A CAR. It’s probably one of the all time BEST convertibles out there. And as a hardtop convertible, you get the best of BOTH worlds...A great looking coupe and a great looking convertible all in one package. It’s every bit as quiet as the coupe with it’s top up.
Thank you sir! This review helped me a ton.
bro should i buy a 2007 bmw 3 series convertible?
could you guide me?
@@DeadshotVisiondepends on mileage, service history, which engine it has, a lot of things
i have one e93 from 2008, never problems, maybe the consume its too high by 170cc (320i) its beautifull and great aerodinamic, im agree
@@DeadshotVision i have only one thing to tell you, make sure what this cars can past the ITV review, beacause the first models by 2007 any unities DONT PAST the standarts of Co2 emisiones. So be carefull with that
I’m almost afraid to say this (knock on wood)...back in 2007 I purchased a brand new BMW e93 330D here in Italy, which I still own in 2020 meaning it’s now 13 years old and I drive it every day. It now has 250.000 km..... I take care of it like any other car, run it through automatic car wash, though I have never encountered any of these problems. BMW haters can say whatever they want, they may not like them and I can respect that but I personally still today impressed with the quality of the car. Personally I’m not a German car fanatic... I bought this because I wanted 4 seats, convertible, and a hard top (buy a soft top and then you will see how expensive it is to maintain!) , at that time it was either BMW, or Volvo. I opted for BMW, and 13 years later I don’t regret my choice. I have a coupe, a convertible, and a sports car all in one.
After 2008 BMW reliability went down hill
I got mine in 2010, none of these issues either. I was also looking at the volvo, and VW had a hardtop at the time too. But obviously the e93 was the best option.
Also 10 years later, I've never done any of these preventative maintenance things lol 🤷🏽♂️
Same,Convertible top has been great no issues on or 2007 335i. As a matter fact, since owning this car since 2009 , I have only had coil pack issues. The rest as been regular maintenance .speaking about maintenance. I use Crytox on all the weather strips for this car. Aircraft and even NASA use this! Being a convertible it’s got over $2000 worth of weatherstrips so you want to look after them ! The little bottle of Crytox was about 50 bucks back in 2009,but well worth it. Cheers
Ill buy it because they looks damn sick!
I’m in love with hardtop convertibles 🥰
Had my e93 for 5 years zero issues. Works flawlessly.
How many miles on the clock? And how many miles you put on it? Considering buying one
I'm at 10 years, no issues either...
@@michaelmullen8278 got it with 110k sold it at 180k. Only issue was a speed sensor. The 328s are solid
@@eam3618 Probably N52 with 3.0L displacement. Right :D ?
@@kjschrauber2126 heck yes
Here are reasons why you should buy a BMW convertible:
ruclips.net/video/9BEUH-TkdBI/видео.html
“I like civics tho” 💀💀😂
Ricerrrr🤣
Yes at some point I thought Japanese cars were the best unti I met German cars oooh
@@ferow930 not necessarily if you use the right parts they can be pretty cool
Love the matte
alex rocksta I don’t think the boy will put nice parts on it
Scotty Kilmer is gonna go crazy if he sees this video
I don’t care what you said! I still love and always love this E93 and till now I still can’t afford it... 😂
THE TOP IS DOWN!!!!! I REPEAT, THE TOP IS FINALLY DOWN😭
I don't get it lol
@@VehicleVirals since I started following your channel, this is literally the first time seeing your car with the top down for real
@@saautochronicles oh lol. I've only dropped it maybe once or twice before on video.
Sweet ride. I saw one for sale that was silver like that, but with a dark red-ish interior. I kick myself for not buying it every time I think about it.
The previous owner on mine just used silicone to glue the springs and the cover into the hinge. Works fine and in place.
In England you use vasoline gel rub some in all the crevices and it will lubricate it
"I LIKE CIVICS THOO" made me crack up! But hey, what's to argue? It's fast, it's affordable, and it's practical! Sometimes I wish I preferred a Civic over a BMW......
Exactly they are pretty fast especially if you tune them correctly
Youd save alot of money if you did😂😂
Now reasons why you should buy one
I’ve bought my 2011 new and have had absolutely no problems at all....great car!
Lol 😂😂
When u get old your gonna be a talker lol like your not gonna stop for 24 hours lol
They look super sexy, you'll get compliments all day long, everyone goes wow when they see the top coming down or up, everyone will call your car a "Transformer".
You get 2 cars in 1, and did I dare mention how all the ladies want to ride in it and all the hating Bustas will be jealous of it??
soldierviejo Can confirm this. Showed it to the girl I had a crush on and she wanted a ride. 😂
But DOES it come with rocket launchers, emblem saw and a six beverage cup holder? Lol
Ive had 428, 435i and 335i hard top convertibles. I now drive an e93 M3 convertible. Never had an issue with ANY of them save for one tension string on my 130,000 mile M3.
Subbed because you seem to be the only bmw RUclipsr that gives real maintenance cost numbers. You keep it so real
We need a episode how to clean the engine 😢
Yazz chrisfix
Could U not have used a silicone lubricant that is water repellant ? WD40 makes one too or any other brand? The thing is, the WD40 that U used smells & can damage rubber components & possibly stain you roof tops interior fabric.. Put it this way, I know Roofers that use it to remove roof tar from their tools & hands...😬 Also, U can always purchase an aftermarket warranty... EXPENSIVE! Do U feel that the 335is with the 2011 - 2013 will be going up in value ? What can be done to a 335is of those years to spruce up the HP? A chip 🤷🏼♂️ or what else ? Without stressing the stock twin turbo engine...
I took mine out🤣
erick r took what out ?
Chris fix has very good videos.. Very informative..
Hi guy: I have a 2012 BMW 335i Convertible, and like you, every time I open up the top I think " What about if some day It will break down !!!". Right now I have a clunking noise that it seems to be coming from the right hand side towards the hinder seats. Is there any rubber material that I could sandwich somewhere to eliminate that clunking sound ??
Same thoughts I knew it. Idk what location you're referring to, so I don't know
I need to do the same soon, it's been 6 months already. Gumi Pflege you can use on all other rubber seals around doors too. Foam tip you can super glue back (mine fallen off too).
Best to use some cloth, put it behind hinge before spraying lubricant so it catches all excess, there is a lot of fabric pieces, why stain them.
I wonder if you could 3D print some of those replacement parts, like the clips for example. Also, should you also grease the actual motors for the convertible assembly?
Best way to end off an all nighter studying for midterms
All nighter? How did u do it 😭😭
I ordered mine from ECS tuning plus the adapter connectors and used Carly BMW to code out the warning sequence.
That's why I made sure I bought a 1995 with a MANUAL top! NO motors, but I still have to take care of it!
Don't get rid of it! Weld it shut. No more maintenance, increased frame strength and never getting caught in the rain with the top down. Thanks for the e93 videos. Not only are the lights and trunk hard to find, but before you started your build so were e93 videos.
what the actual fuck is the point of owning a convertible if you’re going to weld its top shut
My uncle had both an E93 M3 and 335i, respectively. They didn't have any of these problems, but the M3 had the dreaded catastrophic rod bearing failure. The engine was replaced under warranty, but my uncle traded it and got the 335i. Ironically, the 335i was a much better car. He had it for about 5-6 years and all the common problems were repaired under warranty. If you know these cars, these were the turbo wastegates, fuel injectors, high-pressure fuel pump, VANOS, and water pump. Now he has an F10 M5 and an M4 convertible and so far they haven't given him any major issues.
Thanks for the video - something to mention is the drainage holes which can get blocked either due to debris or frozen water. this can result in water flooding the electronics in the boot. They drain out each side of the car in the rear... BMW on older versions will open out the holes to allow for better drainage, the newer cars now have this done in manufactuer. Hoping these comments help. I love my version of this car, and have spent quite sometime touring in it in central europe (prior Covid).
Bought an E93 in 2009, had it for 9 yrs, never had any problems with it at all, then bought a F33 428i which i still own, love it.
The drawbacks don’t outweigh the positives.
this is why i hate youtube comments. people stating their opinion like its fact. just read how many other people commented here that they have a convertible and love it. why can't anybody just include in their comment something like "i'm sure a lot of people have a different opinion, but in my opinion...". the reason why is because people like to be super aggressive and try to trigger people with a differing opinion. that's why youtube comments are unhealthy.
I have an e93 and I love it, no issues.
About to roll the dice and get a 328i E93 for my daughter. Well maintained/records, but still nervous. I may be checking you channel for tips, tricks, guidance.
I like your channel because it keeps me from buying the BMW I want
😂😂
Same I and that was my dream model to 😥
Not that clever. Just Gotta Know how to maintain stuff if meant seriously. But funny comment like your Humor :D
My e93 is 9 years old. So far it really never needed expensive repairs. Only the typical service like brakes, oil filter. German quality for a cheap price now. Wonderful car. Diesel consumption is extreme low. 1200km with one fill.
You explained it perfectly 🤦🏽♂️ and I spent more than a whole year looking for a used pair of LCI taillights. But it is fun when you put the top down😭
I have an e46 convertible. When I bought it the top wasn't working. I said I'll save money and fix it. It's been 4 years. Haven't fixed it 🤣 Good job on maintaining your e93 really happy for you
legend hhags
Great video! I had a Z4 hardtop convertible and loved it. Yes it is expensive. The hydraulics blew and it cost $2K to fix. Thank God I got an extended warranty.
It's no hydralics at a Z4! Maybe you mean the brakes?
In the E89, hydraulics is what operates the hard top roof.
My 2008 E93 has Never Given me issues (Ive had it for years)
Just Good Maintence and Great Driving Experience,
Why'd you upload when I'm still at school 😂😂
Whoops :)
@@VehicleVirals hey VV your vids are amazing been watching since you started. Im about to pick up a 2010 335i xdrive msport this weekend and had a few questions. You inspired me to get this over a 2017 m440i xdrive. Can you hit me up at my cajohnson0417@gmail.com thanks for the support and keep up the amazing work.
I have had my e93 335i since 2007.... I’ve never had issues with my roof “touch wood” but the amount of money I spent through out the years I could of bought a Ferrari... The problems I had were all under the bonnet. Had all new coils countless times in the end it was my wiring harness connectors seemed to of burnt out. My injectors all changed to new edition bmw parts... high pressure fuel pump failed.. Nox sensor was replaced twice and now it’s be Hex coded and removed from my ecu. This all started with a thermostat then everything else failed but now my 335i is spot on.. Has bigger turbos downpipe, Cat delete, racing coil over suspension kit. Car has 3 different modes I’ve set and it’s a true beast!! Here in the uk ppl move out the way hearing my car rubbling through their chests.
should have j got a m3
I have only owned one convertible in my history and that was a '97 Mustang. I didn't keep it too long but I definitely am glad I don't have the maintenance to go along with it. Thanks Christian for the how to and Negatives about the hardtop convertible. It looks nice. Looking forward to hearing about the project car! Keep up the good work and we'll see you in the next video! Best wishes and Peace out brother!
I bought a 2011 Hard Top Convertible. Nothing but issues with the hard top. The car is nice, but one of the arms broke, and caused the plastic piece with the string going through it to break also. It also leaks above the driver and passenger window.
Excellent tutorial on the Cabriolet. Worth noting all the points raised. A big thank you, just purchased the M 4 20i Sports Cabriolet. Will ensure the servicing and hard top is maintained regularly. Very useful video. Thanks
This video made me want one ! These cars are tight!
I loved this video!!! I thought it was incredibly helpful! Thinking about purchasing a BMW hardtop convertible and this video gave me a lot to think about. So happy I watched this before making a decision, gave me a lot to consider. Would definitely love to see the opposite about why to buy a hardtop!
The other video is live on the channel :)
Weird, I have a 2011 Volvo c70 hard top convertible. I put over 80k miles on it and have owned it for 8 years. I haven't had to clean the seals or the moving parts on it and it still works like a dream 🤷♂️
All I'm hearing is "It's expensive". I've always been told, if you cannot afford it, don't buy it. And everyone knows BMW's are expensive to maintain
If you (in general) are going to DIY your repairs/installs, don't complain about things being difficult. There is reasons why there are specialists for specific brands of vehicles
Nice car though, certainly takes pride in the vehicle 👌🏻
Got watching this video is stressing me out! I have to e93's sitting in my driveway and my 2011 has a broke trim piece on the passenger side.... and its the hard one with the clips! Im hell bent on not spending $1200 to fix it so the trim price that is broke in 3 places is sitting on my table with jb-weld on it drying. Gonna try and put it back on with some bailing wire! Wish me luck!🤦
Who else thinks Christian's new hair style is cool😃
Thanks, that's the first compliment I've received on it :)
Much better looking than Scotty, Doug or Hoovie....
Hey bro.....what did you use to whip down the seals before applying the gummy product??? I have to e93's and watching this video just mad me hop on Amazon and order a bottle to do mine. 🕵♂️ it looked like you had a little spray bottle wasn't sure if it was windex or another cleaner...... I just dont wanna put anything in mine that would dry the rubber out. I was thinking maybe some warm water and dawn dish soap...💁♂️ Just had my top down other day and noticed my seals are dirty and grimmy..... so coming across this video 2nyte was perfect timing. Keep up the great content💯
Hey Chris, glad that you included the top trims installation, great job!!💪🏼😎👍🏼
👊🏼
I had a 330d cabrio from 2007 to 2010 and a 335i cabrio from 2010 to 2013 and not a single issue. Fantastic cars, a dream
Love the video bro. I experienced the same issue with the plastic molds with my 2010 E93. However, you did leave out the fact that you will always get LEAKS at the driver and passenger door pillars regardless of proper maintenance.
I hardly experience leaks.
What i can do to repair my leak on front pillar connection driver one , right side its ok , and i proper grease them like u . But i still get the leaks , i got to the bmw and they checked the leaking tunnel and they said its ok idk why its happening . My rubber its in good condition but at left side driver seems to acumulate water in there.
I love me M235i convertible. Bmw techs told me that the hard tops have problems and leaking issues and once they go out of alignment they are almost impossible to get back correctly to prevent leaks, they said they have no problems with soft tops, one reason because it is flexible and can easily be put back in alignment if there is damage done.
Put some double sided tape
Under the roof hinges on each side!
Some of the dumbest reasons I've ever hear... I have one and it's awesome.
Those are some wicked, sweet rims...
Any ID on them ?
BBS Rims are always cool Plus they fit to pretty much every car
VMR 803s
what model of BMW is that and what year? I think the interior does look good.
We bought a Mercedes SLC 200 just three months ago and we absolutely love it. Watched this video because I was curious about a hard top convertible with 4 seats - your tips for maintenance are really helpful to me! Gonna check everything tomorrow! Thanks man
I had a e46 convertible never maintained the roof neither the old owner and it’s been through heavy snow sun rain and never failed!!
I always have that bad feeling lol what if the top breaks down, what if the hydraulic fluid leaks lol but definitely i will not swap it for a coupe 🤷🏻♂️😂 excellent upload 👌🏻
Thank you for the video. I have a 2009 hardtop BMW 328I. My issue is, when the top is dropped it's not fully secured. The green light doesn't shut off. Then it reads movement impaired. What can be the issue? Help please. This just happened on Thursday. Thank you
5:50 “sangwhich” 💀☠️💀☠️
Thanks for sharing ' I have 2 bmw e82 118d coupe in the household and thinking of viewing a bmw hardtop today the same as yours in black ' so I'll be checking all this you have shared before buying ' thanks 👍
That's so cool Christian, cause I need to do mines! Lol. Ready for the"Why you should get a Hardtop convertible" . You Live in Florida, and I Live in California. That answers our reasons! Lol
💯
I have a 2008 bmw 328i hardtop convertible in the same color. Got the bmw style 249 wheels on it. Looks beautiful.
with the number of times he opened and closed the top i wouldnt be surprised if it broke after this video lmao
Thank you for the video tutorial, so I can better maintain my hardtop convertible.
Dababy convertible looks fire tbh Less goooooo
Love my BMW e93 coming up to 8 years now touchwood no problem with the roof happy cruising from England🏴
brand new M2 Competition or brand new A45s? having a dilemma
The M2
But the most recent A45 in general looks sick in my opinion even way better then the A45 before that one
@@Cookiebreedchannel yes so thaths why im probably going to get the merry
Mine E93 when i open roof drop roof very hard in storage compartment,like it slam it that whole car shakes ,when i close the roof everything normal
Great video: lots of useful info and quite amusing as well! The bit about conditioning the rubber seals and lubricating the joints was very clear. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together. I have a lowly 2007 325i SE E93 and need to attend to the same jobs... Cheers from the UK
yes, very useful information. but don't use wd40 - it leaves a sticky residue which will attract dust and turn into gunge. my bmw dealership suggested using a silicone lubricant.
Nice whip, how reliable is the car in general? Did you have the car wrapped?
Damn dude i haven't had any trouble with my too yet hooe it stays that way lol
Have you ever had problems with the hardtop ever leaking while it rains or if you're washing the car?
Nope. But I have heard using a pressure washer can let water in.
I will turn into a convertible
I will tun into a n**ga into a convertible
LESS GOOO
As for a possible BMW owner in 2 years, how often do you condition once or twice every month? Or is it annually?
I used to own a e46 convertible enjoyed it for some time until the motor broke was gonna be 5k to fix it I was like f that 🤕
Yeah man, that's a tough price to swallow.
The LCI e93 in the uk is more common. Try eBay UK you can pick a pair up for about £300 or 400 USD. Outside of Germany the uk has loads of BMW breakers and spare parts. That's why we all buy BMW because second hand parts are cheap compared to the USA. I put full 6wb digital guage on for £500 on my f11 msport. Also upgraded LCI msport steering wheel . But looking back the pre LCI steering was more brutal looking, this is more sleek and I don't like it.
Nah bro facelift steering wheel is way better looking imo
@@yashmann that's what I thought. But the pre LCI f11 steering wheel is thicker and and bulkier. Lol I might change it back.
@@slcarsuk personal preference, I like thick steering wheels but the look of it has to be important aswell. But I suggest you try swapping it out to see what you prefer, it might add to your driving pleasure
Damn! That top really looks fragile! Gotta hold your breath everytime you put it up or down.
No you don't, it's not fragile
I own a 2007 e93, and my German car mechanic just said o use garage door lube (lithium grease) and when my roof mech got stuck I sprayed that stuff in, now it opens and closes perfectly
Damn already bought one lmao
All good!
My BMW convertible is about 20 years old now...never ever have I had the same issues as you do - and I didn't lubricate or maintained anything at all....hmmm but also I put my car into a garage over night...
Nah I'll just get a DaBaby
My trim in the same place on the drivers side broke off today...currently only 1 of the 4 clips that hold it into place still remain
Or just buy one with extended warranty
YES! PROBLEM (that really isnt even a problem if you properly maintain it) SOLVED!
1: Rear lights... Not a problem at all... You dont need them to enjoy the car. They are fine!
2: Trunklid... Have full insurance that would cover it if something happens or just dont brake it?
3 Headliner... bit expensive not deal braker.
4 Hinges... Dont go to automatic carwash ever! Also wouldnt insurance mentioned before cover it if its an accident in a carwash? ( Must say im happy i dont have these on my e89 Z4)
5 Seals... I have the same Gummi Pfledge in my detailing products box. Its even soid in gas stations here where i live. Easy to get and have. Every now and then go over the seals after detailing or have a handwash/detailing shop do it...
6 Lubrication... Have read about it... Some say that WD40 actually takes in dust and debris that then grinds on the hinges and is actually not good for them. In 4 years i have not even once lubricated my z4 35i roof hinges. I Have checked them numerous times to see if there is any need and they are totally fine. I think Its personal preference if you do it or not. If you do then do it often so dust and crap would not accumulate for long. Or dont do it at all.
I was nervous about the top too in the beginning. Not that much anymore. On Z4 problems are mostly broken wire or a hydraulic line you just fix, microswitch that you can buy and replace and the biggest thing is the pump that you can have rebuilt. Of cource if you damage it in a car accident fender bender it totals the car. Again have insurance.
I did have a scare once though.. My top had an error when i had forgotten a black small box in a trunk where it should not be when lowering the roof. It got in the way of the roof and roof stopped mid way and would not move. i was stuck in a public parking lot in a city center roof half way tingling. Had my car towed to the dealer where for last time i tried to operate the roof before giving the car to them to remove the fault code. And it worked again perfectly and has been working flawlessly since then. Car probably went to deep sleep or turned itself totally off during towing and that reset the error for the roof. I did try locking the car and walking away to have the car turn off but probably did not wait long enough for it to work and called a tow truck.
Wtf my dad has one and none of these things have ever happend😂
How old is it?
Varun Kamal yeah how old is it
thanks for the video I'm still undecided between a 2014 Mercedes Benz e class cabriolet, 2014 MB SLK 350 and 2014 Z4 all around 40 000 to 52000 km same price for all 3 which one is preferable and which will last longer say 200000 km. ps all in great condition and still have 2 years warranty.
In germany they call bmw b m trouble you. Fyi most germans dont drive them anymore..they aren't as good quality as they they were and way way way too expensive to repair for what it is. Germany loves the paper!
I heard this from several Germans. They say Audi ftw
@@VehicleVirals I have a friend who has a 160k 3ltre diesel audi a6 quatro..no problems.guess what I have...a bmw..I'm ashamed but my bmw way better to drive. I hope they aren't the new alpha
I have a 2017 Lexus and had it for 4-years. All I did to it was oil changes. I recently did my first big thing where I had to do the 30,000 miles service. It was $1497. This was after having the car 4-years of everyday driving. And the car drives like a dream. I had a BMW 325 and it spent alot of time in the shop. I'm not knocking your car but if you want real reliability get a Lexus.
"What if the convertible top breaks?" ... you just now have a COUPE thats it =D no biggy
Simply buy several tubes of silastic and glue the bastard down so it will never open again. I still love these. What other car does this.
I've owned my car for over 6 years and nothing has gone wrong so far, but after watching your video you've given me anxiety!!
Gummi pflege Stift 😂😂😂😂 Bro you Said That so nicely 😂
:)
Made my day 🤣🤣
I've owned two 2007 328i. The first one was a leased coupe; the second, a convertible (same color even, just a different color interior). I sold the convertible so I could move to London. I'm back in the US and I'd like to own another one. But I'm hesitant about buying a convertible. I'd rather have a coupe, but they're actually a bit harder to come by in Florida. The problem I had with the convertible was the top rattled, but I've since watched a video on how to remedy that issue.
Lets goooo
I’ve owned a 335 convertible and currently have a e93 m3 for 4 years now with zero top issues. The only issue I’ve had was water In the trunk underneath the battery tray which rotted out the power cable supposedly it’s a common issue.
Lesssss Gooooooo!!!
That's a sweet paint job. I have the two tone saddle with dark blue but I'm thinking of going with your color now ;)
