Just encountered a m135i on the motorway. WOW!

[okie592]

So there I was bumbling along in my 530d at a indicated 75, when a m135i came up the side of me and totally blew me away with it's sleeper looks and massive turbo rwd exciting engine. It must of been doing a good 80mph, no matter what I did I couldn't use my tourqe to catch it. Totally blown away, I'm off to lease one now.

Get a mapped 335d and he will be choking on your smog

Are you sure the turbo hasn't broken on your 5? I overtook a m135i the other day on my push bike! (it was parked at the time, but that doesn't matter)

Why the hate?

There I was in a smoker barge when a small turbo petrol car with the same size engine was faster... Surprise surprise.

M135i is a lot of things but it is definitely not a sleeper

[pincher]

Where's that parrot?

Shouldn't this be in the M Power section?

I thought it was obvious enough

I do feel sorry for all the peeps that have had one for a year.

With the £250 per month lease deals selling like hot cakes, there will be load of these in poverty spec colours suddenly on the road in April.



It's good for BMW in selling loads of 1 series shells, but bad for private owners, who will want to sell in two years.



Let's just hope they don't turn into another red xr3i

Driver of heavy car in "my diesel isn't as quick as I thought" shocker!!

There's only six colours to choose from anyway, four of which are boring monochromes, plus blue and ginger - the only decent looking one - and the only one I haven't seen on the road or in press features yet.

The only "poverty spec" colour is white and from supplying lease cars for a few years, metallic is often FOC to the lease company (as it enhances residuals and improves used car stock variety at disposal) - whether they choose to pass that saving on of course is another matter...

Since 2008 though, solid white and red have carried the same RV as metallic cars, when previously they (and "doom blue") used to end up costing more because of their lower retained values.

I suspect the return to market of these cars in late 2015/early 2016 will be well managed enough to not hit values too hard - the lease companies need them high as much as private buyers want them to retain value too.
