Very nice, this colour has definitely grown on me.

I've just done the opposite and replaced my F21 M135i with an E91 330i.

Not sure on this, but they do look good in the colour.

I can't wait until they fall in price and can pick one up, first action would be exhaust, remap, removing stupid false noise thing and sound deadening.

The facelift looks so much better - especially from the rear!

Good score on the car - they are meant to be a cracking drive. As for the tinted windows - they aint chav. Practical come summer!

  • Shakes head* I leased a pre-LCI and much preferred it.
Great colour choice, I nearly went for it but really wanted red leather which would have been a bit much I think! Did you go for black or cream leather?

Nice car. Nice colour!

Did you find any swirl marks and orange peeling on the paintwork after you washed it? wink

Very nice!!

I am waiting on my F20 LCI m135i - should have it next week. I couldn't choose between VO or AW. Starting to think I should've got VO.

Did you get any other options? I presume manual?

Im a big fan of the M135i,...



It really is a great little car, makes a nice noise, very fast and very reasonable running costs too. Ours has averaged 28/29 mpg and does mainly small local journeys, it's going back in a month or so and my wife (who cares not about cars at all) says she'll miss it a lot. The noise and speed make it feel like an effortless drive apparently.

Yours looks great, many congratulations.

I've a friend with late 2013 M135i 3 door which would have been a quick car in stock form but had been through Rossiters "man cave" in the East of England with its previous owner....with the stage 3 tune plus suspension, wheels and brakes purred it seems quite spritely with circa 380 bhp, so they seem more than capable of a bit of "light" tuning biggrin I was also impressed by how well equipped it is interior wise & I suspect there are quite a few running around with their badges off. I also think it's nice to see one in a colour that shows the body lines off thumbup

There was a 0.2mm swirl on the piano black doors so I'm in legal disputes with the dealer to have the car cubed and a new one delivered spin

well it will be just like that if you've used a sponge shortly.

why is the model badge half way down the boot?

OP, please stop posting right now to keep me off the classifieds! That colour is just fantastic in a Germanic world of white and shades of grey!

It probably helps that it is on a car I would love to drive - but I would have to have a manual!

Keep enjoying it - great car!

I've never been big into the 1 series but it's definitely grown on me and that colour is by far the best I've seen.

I'm a fan of orange/copper kind of colours on cars anyway so thumbs up on that from me.

Got a pre-facelift one in an identical spec and colour combination. Wife has it most of the time, but I get to have a play at the weekends. I really rate it.
