First BMW...135i MSport 6MT

NickDHdfc · 03-08-2014, 08:25 PM

Just thought i would introduce myself. My name is Nick from Philadelphia PA. I just picked up this 2011 135i today. Came with the Msport, Premium, and cold weather package. She only has 15,5xx miles on her, so she will be staying stock for now. Im pretty new to the BMW world, so im always trying to learn some new things with them. Plans would be fbo and some hyper black arc-8 wheels later on, not trying to worry about that now. Ive spent the last 5 years in the Subaru community and extremely happy i made the switch. This car is truly amazing!

Heres some pictures, most of them from the dealer. Hopefully whip out the dslr this week

Clean and low miles. Nice find.

Oh to be 21 again and drive a BMW. I'm jealous.

Watch out for those potholes (caverns) you guys have. They're massive.

NickDHdfc · 03-08-2014, 08:33 PM

Hard work pays off i guess and i got a decent amount from selling my subaru. The pot holes here are ridiculous though. And yes it is March and our Christmas lights are still up, but heres a driveway picture when I brought it home

Very nice.

potxoli · 03-09-2014, 06:58 AM

wow, alpine white/coral red. Incredible combo. I'm jealous.

CAVU · 03-09-2014, 07:04 AM

Congratulations and welcome to the forum! Low miles and three pedals... great combination. ARC-8s look good on BMWs, have you considered the EC-7?

NickDHdfc · 03-09-2014, 09:41 AM

I haven't but ill check them out now. I feel like any of the apex wheels look really good on the 1 series
heres some more picture

I work right down the street from Selden Motors. I've driven past that car everyday for a while now haha. If you're curious about how any mods look/sound/feel on the car let me know I have most of the bolt-ons.

mike082802 · 03-10-2014, 12:45 PM

i was actually looking at that car for a while, if you don't mind me asking what did you finally get it for? i think he was asking 29k for it when i was looking. a little too much for me.

thanks. my 3 choices for color combos are white/coral, white/black (both aluminum trim), and blue/terracotta. i would consider crimson/black as well. 6mt's are hard to come by. i really dont want a black car, way too hard to keep clean but the majority of 6mt's are black. looks great and congrats.

bdoooh · 03-10-2014, 10:09 PM

And since it's a 2011.. Cobb AP!

NickDHdfc · 03-11-2014, 08:58 AM

I had an accessport on my wrx. Great piece of equipment, ill probably pick one up in the summer

new2the3 · 03-11-2014, 09:59 AM

the wheels are the non-M sport wheels but it does appear you have the msport package. Also the exhaust tips or muffler looks aftermarket.

MDRex · 03-11-2014, 11:37 AM

Welcome. I just picked up 2009 135i MSport on the 8th as well. I'm also coming from the Subaru world, been there 11 years. Sold my 2011 WRX hatch for the BMW, and couldn't really be happier.

I was curious about that myself too and it looks like it has the berks street exhaust from what i can see. Going in this weekend to get some maintenance done on it

Beautiful, same color combo as mine. Good choice.
