Anyone else here awaiting an M135i . . . ?

[Digger]

. . . or have I posted in the wrong sub-section?

I am aware of one on here but I imagine there are a few more purchasers of this most "interesting" of cars.

Searching the final Sunday Service yields no owners potentially turning up which is a surprise. . Thought there might be a few. Unfortunately I will miss out by a couple of weeks as mine will hopefully turn up by the end of the year. Cant wait!

[tyrrell]

Yes I ordered mine last week of September, all being well it should turn up end of next week, can't wait.

[Digger]

Excellent! I may have run into you on babybmw then but what kind of spec have you chosen?

I've gone for mineral grey on red, 5 door, auto, adaptive suspension, & a few other toys as well

[nammynake]

Mine is due week 51 or 52.

5 door
Estoril blue
Manual
Adaptive suspension
Auto lights / wipers
DAB radio
Black panel display
Complimentary business speaker upgrade
...and a set of 17 inch alloys and winter tyres

Excellent. A manual! Controversial.

If it gets delivered in 2013. . . . you might be able to get the DAB for free!

[tyrrell]

Yes mine is
3 Door
Met paint EB/Black Leather
Auto
Adaptive Damping
Heated seats
Auto Lights/Wipers
Privacy Glass
Black Panel display
Business speaker system
Black Kidney grills
5 Yre service pack

Think that's it

[Digger]

Excellent choices guys. Also went for a sunroof, Pro Nav as well as the HK Speaker upgrade.

Might take me a while to get used to the red leather though!

dont worry the red leather is lovely in the flesh,all my friends and family have commented how nice it looks, not in your face at all.

It does seem that the majority of buyers have gone for the auto box. Personally I have no need or desire for an auto. I like the interaction you get through a manual box and don't mind sacrificing fractions of a second to the auto box.

I do wonder how many people bought the auto simply because that's what all the press cars had...

Can you M-Performance chaps go and discuss your cars with the rest of the great unwashed, in the regular BMW section. Many thanks

Engine gearbox & colour are all spot on to me. Nice choice.

Yes you are right, another 135 in the wrong forum is getting boring now.

[Digger]

Thanking you muchly.

Agreed, although I have one on order..! Just said goodbye to my Z4MC today (sniff) which was a true M 'powered' car.

Sadly needed more space for climbing gear and couldn't justify keeping the Z4MC for only a few drives a year. Was also getting frustrated with having the wrong car in the mountains when I wanted some fun... M135i ticks all the boxes. Can cruise the motorways in comfort and return a sensible mpg, but hit the twisties and it comes alive... actually found it quicker than the Z4M and sounds fantastic... BUT... its not quite an M car so the key option for me was for the model designation to be deleted...

Should pick it up at the end of December. Mineral grey, 5 dr, auto, adaptive suspension, pro nav, HK stero, heated seats, driver comfort pack, sun protection glass, black leather. Should be a proper sleeper so looking fwd to surprising a few cars. can't wait.

Nice! Did you consider a Coral Red interior or was that a stretch too far!? Dont normally take risks, but apart from purchasing a new car, that was he other risk I took

Cant wait either! . . . December 27th atm.
