go to http://bimmer.work/ and put in the last 7 of your VIN and many questions will be answered

Many ask for pics

Welcome

The ///M on the door sill indicates you have the M Sport package:

ZMP M Sport Package
2MR 18" wheels w/performance tires (style 261M)
337 Sport Package
481 Sport seats
710 M steering wheel
or 7XA Sport steering wheel w/paddles
760 Shadowline exterior trim
775 Anthracite headliner
840 Increased top speed limiter

The M Sport suspension is the standard suspension on all 135i models, as is a small color matched spoiler on the back. Is that the spoiler you have? Probably, but we need pics to tell for sure. lol

Congrats and welcome! Alpine White is a really nice color on the 1 series.

Edit: btw, my wife has a fully loaded Pearl White 2015 370Z. Beautiful car. It's her third Z and she loves it. We think the 1er and the Z are both great cars.

I thought the little lip spoiler was standard on all 135i's...
I love having oil temps, now I know that it takes 15 of the 18 minutes of my drive to school to warm up completely, I'll be curing that with my water-oil heat exchanger swap in a few weeks...

Jace253 · 03-07-2018, 10:45 AM

Thanks for all the info.. I love the car.. I just can't imagin how the previous owner only drove it 2800 miles a year.. But his loss is my gain.. I'm the second owner.. Also I loved the 370z.. Just needed alittle more space.. Thanks for all the info guys..

Nice car! What made you choose this as compared to another 370?

Yes, it is. And that's what I was saying in a kind of joking way, while also trying to entice the OP to post pics of his car so us 1ADDICTS could have something new to ogle at.

Jace253 · 03-07-2018, 12:32 PM

I'll post a pic when I get home at work now.. And I wanted another 370 but the bmw just caught my eye and after a test drive I couldn't say no I had to have it.. Plus it was so well maintained .. Plus the 370 didn't have a trunk could barley fit anything in the rear hatch area..Also imo the bmw just felt more powerfull under my foot also..

Jace253 · 03-07-2018, 12:36 PM

My 370z...

The Z's still look good when modified a bit.

Jace253 · 03-07-2018, 01:07 PM

Wheel offset ... Car needed spacers and such..

FrostyDC4 · 03-07-2018, 02:23 PM

Congrats man. Post pics of the E82. I’m a z owner as well!

vinylengraver · 03-07-2018, 02:46 PM

I like 370Z quite a bit.
I believe it to be the closest equivalent to 135i you can buy right now plus the price is crazy good. Minus the rear seats. And trunk.

However, it definitely looks like a "race car", in the street-race kind of way.
Totally unsuitable for an old guy like me.
In the meantime the 135i , especially in stock form and clad with the "invisible" silver paint (like mine) ranks high on the sleeper scale.
And that is so much more fun.
For me at least.

Anyway, congrats on the car, 14K miles 2013 MY is a nice find indeed.

Sure does but it's not over anything that would be damaged by a little rain.
