Good for the price?

What's up guys, what do you think of this thing? I'm not buying the 135is although it's bad ass, it's not in my budget nor is it suitable for my area, TOO FAST!



Anyways, what do you think of the build + price?

Also, thoughts on the 135i's idrive computer system?

Check Edmunds for pricing info with features. iDrive is excellent, and essential if you wear polarized sunglasses because the regular radio display in the non-iDrive is polarized the other way.

I am so glad I do NOT have I-drive or nav in mine - yay for nav that will no longer have updates long before I (intend) to get rid of the car. Clear middle dash with no giant screen in the way, more room in the centr console for my phone without the knob for I-drive there. And one less complex bit to go wrong - and with all the complex bits in these cars, any less to go wrong is very much welcome.
There are plenty of options for sunglasses - mine are not polarized so I have no issues with the regular radio display. In fact I am quite impressed with the design of the displays so that they can be easily seen in bright light, such as driving with the sun behind you shining right on the dash.
Doesn't seem to be a horrible price, given the fairly low miles. It's a full scale dealer, not just a used car lot (I know where that place is), so you might be able to move them a little.

iDrive was greatly improved in 2011, and before then it sucked. Plus starting in 2011 you get the N55 engine and dual clutch automatic instead of a slushbox auto.

Yes, my 128i has the regular radio and I noticed that, ha at first I actually thought my radio broke because it was off and completely blacked out

Agree 100%. I hate that all the automakers are sticking screens on the dash, some not even integrated into it, just stuck on top like some after thought. I like the car in its simplest form, no idrive.
