Well, it turns out that the nice OEM brake kits that are supposed to be one of the selling points of the 135 over the 335 aren't so great after all.

See threads related to caliper problems in the Brake/Suspension sub-forum on this site

Problem for all small BMW is too small fuel tank. Why MB uses 20 gals but BMW can't? Why should I worry about gas so frequently. I guess BMW concern that too big trank can play with balance of car. But why do not place it in center?

I don't have any major gripes yet. I'm not real nit picky either though. The only thing I don't like, like many others, is runflats. The reasons are not only price and no spare though, its also weight. A nice set of light wheels and some dunlop direzza Z1R star specs are in order.

Also, I think I have an issue that no one else has had. I thinks its more my problem than the 135s problem though because it happens to me in other cars as well. I'm a short dude, and because the seat is far up, my right knee rubs on the dash center console. The side portion where the a/c and radio controls are. My knee tends to get sore from rubbing on there, but like I said, it happens in other cars too. Maybe its my height.

There are two things that annoy me, no engine temp gauge and second is the lack of an oil dip stick.

So what does the temperature guage show? Oil temperature?

As ex Z4 owner, I know RFT bring trouble to many owners, but why do not use Z4M solution as a compressor in trunk?

I do not feel any problem with RFT, say more I feel much safer with them and I guess BMW put RFT on all models.

The 135i gauge shows oil temperature; the 128i has no temp gauge.

Washed my car and then after i went to open my door a few days later the window didn't go down the half inch or however far it is suppose to. Tried to shut the door and it just slammed and opened again lol. Had to eventually turn the heat to max for a few minutes and then try and open the window.
