Default GS fanatic about to make the plunge

Whats up everyone, I have been on the forums for a couple of weeks now researching the vast GS resources and it has to be my favorite sedan ever now. CL is awesome - I have found answers to all the questions I had concerning my GS purchase without even making any posts!!!

I have always admired the GS - Im from south florida and GS' have always been the shiet down here before I knew what VIP was and when Supra's ruled. The only issue i *had* with the GS was the color combo I wanted to get wasn't readily available or i thought it didnt exist. I wanted black interior with any of the pearl exteriors - preferably white or black cherry. So after searching auto trader / ebay / cars.com etc. I came across my new found infatuation.

2003 GS 300 Sport Design in White w/ Black or Saddle + Navigation. I'M HOOKED. HOOKED REAL BAD.

Up until recently I did not even know about Sport Design and definitely was completely un-aware of a White sport design having been offered. Its like Lexus read my mind as to what I wanted in a GS (even though I recently dreamed this up and they made it 4 years ago!!)

So I had my mind made up that I would get a Dark Grey Sport Design because I loved the silver radio / wood up grades / dark chrome accents / lip spoiler - Its exactly how i wanted it - Except its not White.

So i started wavering and I came across Parchment w/ Black interior and this was the closest to my dream GS and cheaper then the Sport Design. I would still have to do small touches like lip trunk spoiler and I was trying to figure out how i would get the wood steering wheel. Then about 2 weeks ago I saw my first White Sport Design and I haven't stopped thinking about it since.


About a year ago I owned a 2006 330i 4 door in white w/ terra brown leather - freakin sweet besides the part about injector failure and fuel system issues that lead to the dealer buying my car back from me - stupid magnesium engine with not enough R+D - my fault for buying the first year of anything bmw produces. it was an awesome car though - just too small.

So now I am patiently looking for a 2003 GS 300 Sport Design w/ Black or Saddle interior + Navigation. I cant wait to make this purchase and Slam it on 19'' Volk GTV's in flat Black+Chrome lip any one else see my vision!!!!

hey man, hopefully you'll find what you're looking for. As for the saddle, they are few and far between (atleast ones with decent miles and in decent shape) I know of myself and one other member who have the saddle, and I can tell you it is AWESOME! everytime i open my doors or have the windows down i'm getting compliments on how "unique" it is, most people think its basketball leather... haha
