First Post here... New Car picking up on Thursday or Friday... Driving to deliver it to my mom in Atlanta on Saturday!
I drive a 2000 3 series, and was really not a big fan of 'Lacs until now, truly an awesome car. I'm definitely looking forward to driving it from DC to Atlanta this weekend.
I'll post new pics, once I pick it up.

WhtDmnd04CTS ,

It was either Thunder Gray or the Raven Black and the Thunder Gray had the better option packages.

thunder gray was def my second choice
i went with black
i didn't wanna spend the extra grand on the paint
even tho it's a sweet color

Black was actually the preferred choice, but none in stock, so thunder gray it was. At least this way it will look clean even when it is dirty.

You did the right thing by getting the Thunder Gray. Depending upon the lighting, your car will appear as many different colors. Sometimes it will actually look black. That is due to the Chromaflair. Thunder Gray is gorgeous. There are many, many Black automobiles. Not many Thunder Gray.

Clarkster, I have a Photobucket account as well. Here's what to do for inserting photo images into your posts at the forum . . . .
Go to Photobucket, and upload an 800 x 600 max. size photo to one of your albums there. Once its loaded, Photobucket provides four (4) different 'links' to the hosted picture. For inserting the photo image 'link' into your forum post, you'll want to use the 4th/bottom link entitled "IMG Code" under the thumbnail image of choice. When you left-click on the box/field next to the words IMG Code, everything in that box gets copied automatically to your computer's Clipboard.
At this point, you only need to paste what is on the Clipboard into the body of your post. (I just use the keys "Ctrl" & "V"). You'd probably want to paste your photo (or photos) after all your text, but you can also insert/paste a photo link, add more text after the link, add another photo link and so on. It all depends on how you want to construct your post, and how/where you want the photos to appear amongst the text.
Hope this helps.

Hey thepiazza! LOL...yeah, I'm a bonafide CTS owner now! After my dealer screwed up my order (I changed the interior color from titanium to ebony, but GM then DELETED my FE2 package and my salesman didn't catch it on the GM workbench order - Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!) and I found out there are currently CONSTRAINTS on the premium luxury package which would put me out another 3 - 4 months or longer, I asked him to do a search. The ONLY fully-loaded Thunder Gray CTS within 450 miles was in New Bern, NC.

So I set off on my Goldwing for a nice welcome home ride (just got back from Iraq) and the minute I drove it, I BOUGHT IT! It has the titanium interior instead of the ebony BUT it also has the P63 rims I had wanted.

Anyway, suffice it to say I'm ECSTATIC!!! Man, what an AWESOME DRIVING MACHINE!

Here's a pic or two right after getting the windows tinted. Oh, and thanks RAB and urbanski for pic posting help!

Oh...and I can't WAIT until my custom-ordered embroidered mats get in next week! Already replaced the license plate bulbs with LEDs...DAYUM, the CTS is ONE FINE CAR! Sooooo many compliments already!
