My new 135i Convertible
Picked it up last week so have had the last 7 days to get familiar with it.Main observations so far:
- awesome grunt from just off idle and in the mid-range - quite addictive! - top end rush is almost scary (can't imagine anybody really needing anymore) - rides better than I expected - steering is very well weighted and precise - even with the electric seats which adjust every which way, am yet to find a really comfortable seating position - throttle control in stop start driving is sometimes a bit awkward to regulate smoothly Some pictures:       |

Congratulations. I have a very similar car to yours. And, yes, in TiAg the 261M wheels seem to stand out.
BTW, did you get the moonlight or black top. I can't tell from your picture.

I had the same seating problem. What I ended up doing is cranking the front of the seat up and the back of it down...bucketing it, if you will. Very comfy.

Makes me wish I could've gotten the M-Sport package back in 08 when I bought mine.
