My 2016 M135i - White/Red
Discussion
So, always wanted to posted one of these threads but never owned anything worthy of boasting about. My previous cars in the past 2 years include:
2013 BMW F10 520d - Bought this brand new in March 2013, then sold it 4 months later for a Fiat 500 for the missus! Big regret but didn't lose much - about £2K so happy with that for a new car.
Then I bought a 2011 Nissan Qashqai+2 as we have 4 kids and I needed something for the whole family. It's a 1.5 diesel and it's the worst car I've owned. However, it's now with my parents as I still need the occasional use when we go out as a family.
Then I bought a 2014 F11 520d Tourer in August 2015 that was fully loaded. Loved this car, but decided life is short and needed something a bit more sporty. So traded her in last week for a 2016 M135i.
I am in love. This is first serious car I've ever owned, the first car that does less than 40MPG and I just can't get enough of it. I am constantly making excuses just to out for a drive.
The car is Alpine White with Coral Read interior - looks amazing IMO.
I will take some better pictures when this weather clears

Just a quick update after doing 2,000 miles. Still love the car and I can't get enough of the sounds it makes. After coming from diesels its just the best sound ever.
Only annoying thing is the indicators are visible on the ends of the wing mirrors and it's distracting as hell! Also, I've had a couple of screeching noises only to find stones stuck in the disk brake guards. Seems a common thing!
I've put in ~£500 in fuel (mostly Tesco Momentum/Costco Premium with the odd Shell VPower Max stuff) and I've averaged about 22mpg. Mostly short journeys so I am happy with this.
I will get some more pictures over the weekend.

Is it the manual or auto?
I went for the auto when I had one as I do a lot of commuting, but it spent all its life in sport - except for longer motorway journeys - just being able to put your foot down and an instant later it's roaring. Even though the soundtrack is manufactured it's still a good sound on a stock car.
Enjoy it OP.
