I've had the car for a week - 2013 135i...300 miles so far. Sorry for the crappy phone pics.

2013 135is - Carbon Black, black leather, blue stitching, aluminum trim
DCT
HK audio
Premium pkg
Technology pkg
Heated seats




As you can see from my sig, I'm a former e90 owner. I'm very happy with the e82 so far. Here are some random thoughts...mostly just comparisons to the e90:

IMO, the e82 is sportier to drive than the e90. It feels more planted and tossable in city driving. Maybe that's just because my e90's always had wasted rear tires.

Back seat is useless in e82...just saying.

The DCT is just amazing. I'll never buy another AT or manual for a daily driver.

I notice a little less torque than with the 2010 e90 with Dinan S2. I'll probably add the S2 after break in.

The HK audio is not quite as good as the e90 Premium Hi-Fi.

The exhaust is sportier-sounding than the e90 PE. I love the sounds this thing makes, especially the sound of upshifts at WOT.

Night visibility is not quite as good as the e90 xenons. I could see for miles in the e90 at night.

E82 armrest storage is worthless...seriously, my wallet doesn't even fit in there.

Carbon black is beautiful. Blue stitching is cool, too. I do notice some difference in interior materials. But, none of this is a major disappointment.
