New to me 135i
Well, I am back in a BMW. I had a 06 330xi that I purchased CPO, after 4 years with it I traded it for a 2012 GTI and after getting the wife a X3 I realised how much I missed BMW. Picked it up on Sat. 2011 LeMans Blue 135i with Msport and every other option with the exception of PDC. Absolutly love it. Glad to be back!!!

Traded it. It was an ok car but the 135 made it feel like a pig. Suspension was loose as crap and it accelerated like a brick down the road. It served its purpose while I had it. It was just time to go back to BMW.

Actually I put over 20k on the car in just over a year (inculding a trip from WA state to Rhode Island in the winter) and the only issue I ever had was the controller for the fuel pump overheating. I would have not nocited it except for the CEL (or until it caught fire). I was, however, not satisified at all with VW's maintenance program or their service edicate in general. Everytime I brought the car in for service it was like it was a big hassle for them. I just did not appreicate that at all. My first car was a VW bug, drove it across the country three times before it was towed and sold at auction while I was on the USS Kitty Hawk in Japan (long story). Bottom line, i liked the GTI, but it was not the right fit for me. It did however, open my eyes to the positive aspects of small cars which led me to the 135.

I agree, one of BMW's best colors by far. I had a friend of mine who got a 335 for his wife in this color. My wife always called it "Donna Blue" (that was his wife's name). I was looking at either this color or the Graphite(?) Gray.

You know I just logged in on my phone and the photo is upside down. On the computer it is right side up. That's weird!
