135i Coupe Order

[gwatson]

That may be correct

[CatherineJ]

Well as a nice man from a bmw gave it me I should hope so.

So can you tell me if the option packs are the same as the hatch?

[gwatson]

Catherine, if there is anything specific you would like to know from the brochure then PM me...

[gwatson]

You have email Catherine.

Nothing yet, mind you someone supposedly mailed me last Thursday and it only turned up on Saturday.

[gwatson]

It was to your yahoo account, check your spam just incase.

It has a 1MB attachment, is your mailbox full?

I have managed this morning to aquire a german dealer brochure.

Hi CatherineJ, I'm considering a 135i too (either that or a 330i), and wondered if you ordered one yet? My dealer is a bit slow in finding any meaning full info (prices, delivery etc.) - did you get to the bottom of the options availability etc.?

Cheers,

Launched Sat 24th November so delivery will be just after that if you get your order soon and the 135i M Sport is £29,745 OTR plus your options.

I'm just trying to think of a reason, bar insanity, to buy a 135i over a 335i.

Choice

[Nohedes]

Thanks for the confirmation Donut - much appreciated.

My car will be a company car and the 335i M-Sport requires a contribution from me (c£2k) whereas the 135i probably won't (looking at the purchase price relative to the 330i M-Sport).

So my choice is 330i M-Sport saloon vs 135i M-Sport Coupe.

I prefer the looks of the 330i but am tempted by the 135i performance

[taffyracer]

Personally i'd pay the 2k

Got to be the three I would say.

Reasonable comments, the only thing is I am pretty tight when it comes to money!

Looking at the 2008 MY engines the new 330i is about £100pm less in tax, when you add that to the £2k I'd need to pay to get the 335i you are looking at c£5,600 before you even consider fuel costs.

I know the 335i is awesome, but can't believe it is that much better than the 272hp 330i!!

One word: brakes.

[CatherineJ]

As alfaspiderman says: Believe it. The 335i is a very different beastie.

[Nohedes]

Thanks for the replies re the 335i. I don't want to sound churlish, but could you be any more specific?!

Don't forget I'm trundling around in a 520d at the moment, so a 330i with the improved engine is going to feel pretty quick in comparison. What do you mean 'different beastie'? Presumably a lot more torque, or do you mean a fundamentally different driving manner due to the extra power, i.e. totally different car to drive?

Obviously I will test-drive both, but I'm looking for about £7k's worth of difference over 3 years to justify the tax/lease/fuel costs over the 330i.

Thanks
