Thanks for the opinions guys.
Unfortuantely the car will not be long term for me as much as I would like it to be. Have cut into the mortgage line of credit for this one to enjoy for 18 months or so, and just trying to minimise my loss there. It is a buyers market at the moment, so hopefully that has worked in my favour.... having said that, I am also selling a car that was depreciating also... no matter what I have it depreciates... this will just be a little more than my Renault Clio Sports runabout!!
I have never owned a luxury road car, so looking forward to the experience. I have however owned some very fast cars, but generally enjoy them in a motorsports environment at the track. So the 135i is not going to rock my socks off performance wise, but it will certainly be by far the most livable car I have owned with good performance and still comfort for every day use.
Great to meet you guys!!
