Stan 24v 0 Posted March 21, 2013 Not been on here for ages, but for those who remember me I thought I'd share my latest pride and joy. As you can see its a bit different to a Rado ;) I have been away with work a lot so only picked it up this week (19 March) but Im now a VERY happy bunny, WHAT A CAR!!!! Unfortunately I haven't had time to take decent pics yet, so you'll have to make do with some phone pics for now, but I'm sure you all know what a beast it is anyway ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VWVW 1 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Very nice indeed...I wish I had that engine in mine. I have the same but on a 120D engine. They are great to drive...Have you notice the steering wheel blocks the view of certain information on the dash no matter how you set the steering wheel position and you have to strech forward to look at them.

Stan 24v 0 Posted March 21, 2013 Yeah, I think its due to the bulge in the centre of it, annoying! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 21, 2013 Is that the 8 speed auto flavour? Thought about getting one (based on Chris Harris video reviews and forum hype) because BMW were doing cracking PCP deals on them, but decided against it in the end. Didn't want to get tied into finance on a car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted March 21, 2013 The M135i is a cracking car by all accounts. For circa 30k you'd be mad to choose anything else if you were after a new car, particularly with the 0% PCP rate BMW have been doing. Bet it goes some! Congrats! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted March 21, 2013 Its manual, cant stand autos even as good as it is. Its the best bang per buck for the money. Scirocco R, Golf R, S3 etc dont come close really. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmwcompact 10 Posted March 21, 2013 A bit faster than my 318ti then. Pity I won't be able to buy one for about the next 10yrs. Looks great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted March 21, 2013 Going by reviews you made a good choice. I love the way my 130i drives, not sure on the new styling yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll just wait for 1Ms to come down in price instead :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted March 24, 2013 Thats because there isnt a coupe yet Kev, the 2 series is replacing it and there is going to be an M235i by the looks of it. Part of the reason I didnt go with the 1M was due to the prices not falling, and the running costs are a lot greater, plus as a daily the ride, economy, performance and general running of the M135i makes more sense.
