Had a poke around an m135i yesterday..with pics..
« on: June 17, 2012, 05:00:14 pm »
As per the title, had a chance to have a good look around and sit inside the new m135i whilst making brum brum noises and dirtying the carpets yesterday...

In short i love it!  :happy2:

£29,995 OTR was confirmed by the BMW staff and seems really nicely specced as standard although i was struggling to see where the £7K of options on the demo car was hiding...?

Estoril Blue would defintely be my choice, looks fantastic in the flesh imo  :happy2:

Dealer was asking me if I wanted a test drive when mine was in for service, said no, I know it will be good and I know I will want it and have finally convinced myself I like diesel :signLOL:

Seen this car a couple of times now (Brands Hatch / Oulton Park) - its not bad but I really don't like the bottom half of the rear end, such a hash job in my opinion.

What about the A45 AMG that's coming? Priced around £32k apparently. 335bhp and 4WD!

£30k gets you leather, xenons, bluetooth, Brembos, 18s with no-runflat option, a proper electronic locking LSD like the M5 (rather than my version which works on the brakes) and that all important "oil dipstick".

In typical BMW style, 'Nav will be a big cost option. I can't see me wanting/needing much else though?? My only slight concern is it having e-PAS - the same system in the current 1-series is gash. Thankfully my 135i has proper stuff.

Dealers are already offering 7-9% off according to those getting their orders in now.

Not a bad spec that ! I wouldnt want more than that tbh ! Think thats top of my list for my next car ! Its good to see BMW are starting to put decent brakes on things now a days !
Im not spending over 15k on a car again though so ill be 5-6 years away !

Nice though, let us know how you get on with it when you get one !

I've been looking at the current 135i Coupe...might be able to afford one when this comes out.

Why does the rear remind me of a Polo?

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. I think its the rear lights that look like they have been nicked off the polo and stretched into place

Is the rear head room still designed for 5ft munchkins?
