Just come out of a M235i that I've had since Thursday. Was my first experience in one and was really impressed.

As expected, it felt very similar to the 135. A little more planted perhaps but great fun to drive quickly and obviously much better looking although it still looks odd from some angles and doesn't photograph well.

Will try to get some pictures up later.

It arrived with about 70 miles on it and went back with about 500..... averaged 21 MPG but most of that was in Sport+ using the paddles.

Roll on the pics smile.

I quite like them myself, though never driven one though...

Which 135 do you have? The M135i or the 135i coupe?

Did you try one with the LSD or was it a standard car?

I've driven both, about three different M135is (manual and auto) for a week each or so.

Anyway my (admittedly poor) pics;





And we've one of these just arrived for a trial..... not quite the same;

I'm not sure and I don't think I could tell unless I was on a track tbh. It did have about four options packs on it though.

How did you achieve such a long test? Are you looking at purchasing?

i3 looks interesting.

I know but there are plenty of M135i threads on here!!

I work in the sector and we just happen to be going through a few BMWs at the moment. It'd be certainly up there if I needed a car myself though.... the M235i that is.....not the i3

The i3 will be quicker to 30mph ;-)
