Hi Guys,
My name is Anthony. I have been following your posts for a while and enjoy the conversation and interesting facts/advice. You sure know your stuff and seem to enjoy your cars.

I've had my 135 for a year and loved it thus far.

Unfortunately last week I took an M3 for a test drive.......big mistake. I cant get the sound of that V8 screaming at 8000rpm out of my head!
I told me GF we were trading in!

RaihaX · 10-19-2011, 10:42 PM

Welcome

Are you really trading in ?

if anything start modding you car

pcockley · 10-19-2011, 11:24 PM

Yeh dude at least get rid of those RFT's and put a tune on your 135 then take the M3 for another spin and see if you are still keen to drop an extra 100

Mana · 10-19-2011, 11:24 PM

Thanks.
I thought about doing some mods. It would have to be all BMW performance stuff or it would void my warranty wouldnt it?

Well decent tyres are all ok and a tune would technically void warranty but pretty simple to take tune out prior to taking the car in should anything go wrong.

Have a look through the posts there is a heap if info and to the best of my knowledge no tune related issues

Stuart@BMRAutowerkes · 10-19-2011, 11:42 PM

OP I'm in the opposite boat to you, I'm considering a second hand E92 M3 but it's hard to justify spending more going to a slower car!!

JB4-335 · 10-19-2011, 11:49 PM

I think the E92 M3 is a great car and sounds awesome but a nicely modded 135i will run rings around it. But maybe OP wants the M3 for a good all rounder. Go for it.

Mana · 10-20-2011, 12:19 AM

Ur right. The M3 is a totally different car. I was shocked at how different it is and know you shouldnt compare....but jumping back into my 135 (stock I admit) after having driven the M3 hard for an hour...I felt there was something missing. Its not power, because the 1 series has heaps...maybe its just the way the M3 delivers it!

You need to drive a 135i with a tune/suspension - it transforms the car

Don't worry about warranty so much if you go piggy back as others have said you can undo it in no time

banglemangle · 10-20-2011, 06:28 AM

3rd option...

Keep the one thirty-five and get one of these for sub 16k (apologies in advance for the atrocious music)

dh58 · 10-20-2011, 07:50 AM

Someone should offer this guy a ride in a tuned 135i...

MrBlonde · 10-20-2011, 07:58 AM

Do not void your warranty! It is akin to the end of the world as we know it. You cannot overestimate how destructive it can be to your life.

Mana · 10-20-2011, 09:17 PM

Dont need one of those when you have one of these....
