At the high risk of boring all of you to tears (your'e all probably sick of hearing of yet another transformed life !!), on 29 December I went and picked up my new 135i. Owning a BMW has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid. So it was an overwhelming experience for me. Paying in cash made it even more overwhelming, in a bad way!!

If anyone's interested (besides myself) it's a:
-Titanium Silver 135i Coupe produced late 11/08
-6 speed manual trans [couldn't find a single stick in the country that had the options we wanted, had to order & wait a very long 8 wk]
-Navigation/iDrive system
-Premium package w/ Taupe Boston Leather seats, Aluminum trim that I was told was made of carbon fiber by dealer [?]
-SPORTS PACKAGE: This was the best surprise ever ! In add'n to the excellent strg wheel, ours came with an M-logo shifter, to me the heart of the whole cockpit!
-18 " 5-spoke alloy wheels.
-Premium Audio System Can anyone reading this help delineate what exactly you get for all this money? It sds gr8, tho.
-Finally, a Christmas gift from my GF, a set of Dunlop SP Wintersport 3d 225/40 R 18 snow tires ! I had snow tires could actually perform this well and look this cool with a low profile !

Just ran out of the 1st, dealer-supplied tank of gas. To me, when you're burning that tank - THAT's a new car !!

Wow, congrats to you, man! It's always nice completing one of your life's goals!

What's your name anyway? I added you to the LIST, but need your name to complete the listing. Also, keep an eye on our thread here: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6681

It hasn't been very active lately, but hopefully it'll pick back up when the weather starts to get nice.

Anyway, enjoy the car! Hope to meet you at a gathering some time. :smile:

Congrats and WELCOME! This was my first BMW and after 9 mos ownership (cash

as well) I still enjoy this car like it's the first day I drove it off the dealer lot. The M steering wheel and shifter, incredible power stock, and it just plain rocks.

Sorry, Hoon - I don't think anyone intended to jack your thread!

I have a few roads that I'm partial to, but nothing I've felt are worth posting (yet)... I'm subscribed so that I can post as soon as I come up with something worth-while! :biggrin:
