Funniest phrases/questions you've heard about your 1er
Decided to make a thread on the funniest / stupidest things you've heard people comment on your 128i or 135i. I'll start off;
Today (4/06/12)
Was at Pepboys getting a floor jack, when i see a Pepboys technician staring at my car. I purchased the jack and went outside and opened the trunk to put the jack inside. The conversation went like this :
Pep boys employee : Hey man, what kind of car is this?
Me : It's a BMW 135i.
Pep boys employee : Oh, it's just an entry model BMW huh? I thought it was a 3 series or something, but it's just a 1....
Me : A 3 series is actually a entry model now, you can lease / buy a 328i pretty cheap nowadays.
Pep boys employee : Oh really? I always thought the 1 is a base / cheap model BMW.
Me : *Starts the car* (i have a 3inch straight pipe catback)
Pep boys employee : Woah! Is this thing turbocharged!?
Me : Yep, twinscroll single turbo, 3.0L 6cyl., has 300hp/300tq.
Pep boys employee : Oh geez! Never knew these things were turbo man! I have an Integra, Vtec swapped engine, it's pushing 230hp to the wheels.
Me : Oh, cool man, i use to drive a WRX.
Pep boys employee : Oh yea? I raced a G35 and smoked him!
Me : Oh, G35's are heavy, well, see ya!

I have another incident happen at work. This actually made me laugh.
Employee : Hey man, you drive a BMW right?
Me : Yeah, a 135i.
Employee : Oh, is it fast?
Me : It puts a smile on my face.
Employee : Oh, i drive a Mazda Speed3
Me : Oh cool, never really was a fan of FWD, but they are quick.
Employee : Yeah, it's faster then your car for sure...after all your car is just a 1 series. You should have bought a 328i, those are way faster and more luxurious.
Me : Heh, i could have gotten a 335i, but why buy a car that's heavier, doesn't perform as well, and overall bigger? I bought the 135i mainly for performance, i can careless about luxury features.
Employee : It's still just a 1 series man, my Mazda will smoke your car any day.
Me : Okay, whatever you say.
I find it hilarious that people think the 135i is a entry model BMW.
