BMW M135i pricing...

Lee made the point about there being no shortage of people willing to pay a premium for the car, I doubt any of them give a thought to spares. It's no wonder so many get written off for relatively light damage with the cost of parts.

Renault RS - leather Recaros £1300 option (also upgrades from cloth)
VW Golf R - leather Recaros £2215 option (leather is standard)

I think on the MK5 Recaros were about a £800 option?

Yup, you can buy the whole front brake kit brand new from BMW for a shade over £800. 6 pot calipers, grooved/drilled discs and pads.

Priced them up on trade, full kit is £704.

You can add another G to that Mike (when I was looking anyway).. Absolute piss take that the buckets in the .:R are £3250 when they are £1800 in the S3.. No wonder you see very few .:R's with that option ticked from the factory..

Ive just priced one of these up - They are a Performance bargain, compared with anything out there!!

My local dealer is getting one in for a demo...........my wifes fully loaded ED35 could well be up for sale soon!!

out of interest then, how much is the car you have specced after adding loads of options? Which options have you gone for. does look a steal compared to RS3

I think I got to £33500 with pro nav, adaptive suspension, HK sound and a few other bits, and I've been offered 10% off... Basically meaning my options are free. They're doing very low rate APR too.

The spec I had is just under £34k including the service pack.  Most boxes ticked, but I have terms with BMW via my business.  Im just awaiting a demo now.

However, ive brought my wifes Ed35(which it would replace) into work today for a valet, and it looks amazing..........plus I hardly drive it now!!

I'm seriously looking at the 135i coupes... Never thought I'd sell my GTI but these are seriously tempting, especially when used prices are actually rather good... Or I could stage 2 my car... But I kind of fancy a change... But then I've only ever owned VWs... Oh decisions decisions!!
