Shes home... finally

2000C4 · 05-13-2008, 08:40 AM

I picked up my 135i convertible yesterday. First time I drove one was when i started her up....

Shes awesome.

Im very happy. Coming from a 996 c4 and having many hours of drive time on my fathers 335i coupe all I can say is the car is awesome. Its a perfect mix of the two. Its also a much nicer and quieter convertible then my fathers old e46 m3 which I had got to know very well.

Overall the 1series is a hell of a car. Anyone who says different should just drive it.

You don't have a digital camera? What are you a communist? Damn son, you need to get with the 90's.

Nice but

I would love to see pics of another black 135i!

Good reasons not to have a digital camera:
- you're just back from your peace corps assignment of 11 yrs in the New Guinea jungle
- you are tragically handicapped in ways that make operating a camera impossible (see side note on air pressure car drive systems)
- you were traumatized at an early age by parents that photographed every aspect, especially kid humiliation (e.g. rabbit suit in 'A Christmas Story'), of your childhood.
- you are worried that it is capturing peoples souls
- your girlfriend talked you into posing for some inappropriate photos and the pictures ended up on your fraternities website

Other than that, might I suggest:

Borrowing a digital camera? My Mom has a digital camera and she's 75! Not that I'm trying to make any kind of comparison or anything.

After paying for the 135 vert, you will need to finance a digital camera at Best Buy.:biggrin:
