Talk to me, what you got?
it's a white/red leather 3 door manual with speaker and driver display upgrade. April this year so has the nice new steering wheel.

Pretty basic but very cheap.

I'm not sure if you can transfer it though.
Maybe intrested. Can you PM with details, or maybe best finding out if transferable first?
If you can transfer it, and illmonkey doesn't take it, I would be very much interested if it's on the £250/pm deal. How many months and miles allowance are left on the deal?

Pretty sure you cant transfer it, but worth having a conversation with G2L/Network about it anyways. Was quite surprised only have to pay 50% of outstanding rentals to get out of it (not to bad i didnt think), although you cant do it until its 12 months old iirc.

Anybody know of any great deals justnow going on M135I, Considering getting one at the moment?

Been quoted £2500 deposit,4 years,Estoril Blue, 8 Speed Auto and Sun protecton glass.

£350 a month. Been told that deal is just as good as it will be anywhere even at x-max. John Clarke BMW in Aberdeen couldnt get anywhere near that quote.

Cheers

Assuming thats roughly:

Car at £33,195
£2500 from you
£5000 from them (-15%)
£13000 RV
4.9% interest
£350 per month

Estimation using BMW website & www.pcpcal.co.uk.

Seems ok to me smile

I'd be very surprised if that actually exists. That's a chunk cheaper than the cheapest of deals when BMW were supporting.

The extra 6 months down adds around £60p/m to the overall cost so similar to the old deals.

On a side note, my car was in for a fan replacement yesterday.

It came back with a new fan and a full reprogramming.

Oddly the car feels a bit slower today, and I'm sure the added engine noise has been reduced / changed (which actually annoys me, as I liked it)

Perhaps I'm just looking out for issues. On the plus side it had a good valet.

Time for an italian tune up smile

Seems they have nerfed the augmented sound, which is annoying.

It's certainly possible in the dry, you just have to commit to it in a far higher way than you did in the M3, which makes it too much for the road IMHO.

IF you're getting full on oppo in a 120d in the dry, then you shouldn't have an issue. Let us know how you find it.
Mine's got a few more miles on it now and I've had the opportunity to play. I absolutely see what you mean about having to unsettle it to get the tail into action. It does seem to stick and then some. Tail out action tends to be a little snappy and then gathered up quite quickly. Keeping it there without using momentum is much harder than in the old M3. It's quite comical in the wet how quickly the rear steps out if the revs are too low and then it comes on boost in 2nd. Some very fast steering is required for that. smile

Overall, I'm finding it great fun and probably quicker than my old E46 M3 on Contis, but not as tactile or as feel-some past the single wheel spin-up stage.

Definitely, and like every single non-LSD BMW, thicker rear ARBs too.

As much as I dislike the lack of LSD I think it reduces the M135i from 'great' car status down to merely 'good'. I'll be seriously tempted to remedy the issue by way of the M2 when that comes out. smile

Be a darn sight cheaper just to spend £2k on a diff lol. I think they would benefit from a firmer suspension setup as well, grip is ok due to the tyres, but mine rolls around like a barge in a storm! Wish id PCP'd one instead sometimes, dont really want to spend money tinkering with a lease car ...

Maybe after the warranty period has ended. I really fancy the Birds LSD and ARBs kit.

But then you have to convince the wife, change insurance, think about resale (although I'd think these upgrades are quite sought after). It's probably easier to get an M2.
