Delivery Day, Drive, consumption & some pics

bmw233 · 01-10-2009, 07:40 AM

Yay! It finally arrived, after waiting over 4 months. Had to immediately "drive it in" - ran it out of the city up through to Marysville and back. Very nice. I realise now that the previous test drives did it no justice whatsoever. This car is absolutely astounding.

The combined consumption, ie. pretty busy city and suburban traffic, winding hill climbs with some spirited driving, including highway coasting - keeping in mind this 135i is first day on the road - 9.4/100km.

Have to agree with others though, the tank is far too small..

yea another AW 1er.. now u can be with the cool kids ^^

noshe83 · 01-10-2009, 08:47 AM

Congrats man. It must feel good after the 4 months of waiting. I was doing alright until now. The dealer called me to say that my car would be arriving in Australia on the 23rd of Jan....and now all I can do is count down the seconds. The dealer should have not rung me at all!!!

Again congrats man. Looks GOOD!

d3syd · 01-10-2009, 09:04 AM

Congratulations! Wait till she's run in and loosened up, yee hah!!

cam2801 · 01-10-2009, 02:06 PM

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Noshe83, if the dealer told you it's arriving in Oz on 23/1, then it will still take extra time until you actually get it. In my case, because of Christmas, it was almost 4 weeks. I assume it may normally take only about half that. Hang in there mate, it's really worth the wait. :thumbup:

congrats i am in almost the same boat, mine should jump on the boat this coming week.

Thanks Furo125i.
I guess your 125i's fuel consumption must be fantastic.

d3syd · 01-10-2009, 07:09 PM

Yes great consumption. From memory my car was around 12.7 l/100 when I picked it up. Currently doing about 10.2 with 6000+ km on the clock.

MikeVictor · 01-10-2009, 07:28 PM

Nice one mate, grats on picking up the new wheels and enjoying that big 1'er owning grin

Very nice, congrats esp on the fuel consumption.

DTNJNQ · 01-10-2009, 11:55 PM

congratulations on the new car. Great fuel consumption. Mine has done 5100km and the fuel consumption is sitting on 14.2L/100.

Congrads welcome to the fold.:w00t:

smarm · 01-11-2009, 01:33 AM

Getting 12.0/100km now after ~4.5k km.

Was sitting close to 15L+ It's as though some magic switch has been hit over the last couple of tanks.

hmm :iono: maybe its cause i've been doing a lot of inner city driving, just over 800kms now.. sitting on 14l/100km not very fantastic

lol..

aus135i · 01-11-2009, 02:24 AM

mine is at 13.7-13.9/100km (40km/day M4-city & back)... i dont know how bmw say it can do 9.8/100km...

cam2801 · 01-11-2009, 02:52 AM

We get just a touch over 13 in Sydney's traffic and I suspect it is only that good due to the unusal amount of freeway driving we did over Christmas

wmj73 · 01-11-2009, 03:03 AM

Mine is sitting at 10.8 with 1100kms and that is all stop start traffic. Im doing better than my sisters mkV gti 11.3 and that is all stop start traffic too.

Zuzu · 01-11-2009, 03:10 AM

Sitting just on 7000km and averaging between 11.8 and 12 ltrs/100km with mixed city and few fwy runs..
