1st Titanium grey in Greece (photos incl)
Well... It was delivered to me 3 weeks ago, and I haven't seen any other in the streets yet ... so... 
I finally got the brushed aluminium strakes (exactly like I expected them to be) and I just got over the 1000 km break in period, although I am afraid I was not very easy on the beast... ( I got over the recommended 7000 rpm quite a few times
and I am a bit worried. I just couldnt't take my foot of the damn pedal. Anyway, I won't do any review since you 're probably fed up allready. My tail lights have both the condensation "problem" (a bit annoying) my cold idle is a bit harsh, and I get some funny smells sometimes. The Bose is a bit worse than what I expected .. and it takes two or three times to get the doors shut... Thats on the "problems" area. No oil consumption until now. The power is a bit lacking ....below 1500 rpm. Every time I get out of it I have a big grin in my face. My wife tells me that I am starting to develop a "boy racer" attitude . I am 1m87cm but the moonroof is no problem at all. It provides an extra window for my 3year old daughter behind me... She always urges me to ride the "grey" car. Kids can tell..!!!!! And the boot I was worried about manages well all our weekend stuff. I am now in search for a device to keep cats away from my beauty... Any ideas???
Ok. Here are some photos:

The 8 looks much better when it's clean 
Nice pics though, those surroundings are definitely not some place you'd find where I live.
Get ready for the Olympics!!!! Athens 2004!!!

Fan: The interior is exactly the same to the US model
Maniac: No, I am living in the oposite side of the city (north). Why? Are you visiting?? It would be fun....
Druck: It's nice to have some English with us again... I thought the French to be sovinist but...
My last fuel consumption was about 13,1 lt/100km (My first was 18 but it was half the tank city driving. Now it was mostly highway)
I just washed it for the first time. It's wondeful to caress these titanium curves :p.
Am I the only Greek owner here?? Where are the German and the French??? No cars there yet or they just like their BMW and Citroens?
Cheers...
