Good to see some 1addicts in Ottawa!
I'd love to come out to a meet but won't be getting my 1 for a while yet By the way, did you happen to buy from Otto's or Elite? I test drove the 135i at Otto's back in April, good people there. |

Hey, They are both good dealers. I got mine from BMW Toronto, just because Otto's or Elite could not get the one I wanted, and I didnt want to wait for 5 months for it to come from Munich .
BMW Toronto found one in Halifax that matched what i wanted and convinced the dealer to ship it over. I still havent decided where i will service it (otto's or elite). Looks like its just me and you in Ottawa! lol. BTW, how many have you seen on the road here? I've seen 5 so far, but thats about it. |

Whereabouts are you? The car I test drove at Otto's was a Sedona red, 6-spd manual w/ sport pkg... very nice. I'm hooked on the crimson red tho. |

Potential new 135i here early summer 2013, unless I decide to get a 335i MSport.
I'm in Gatineau, currently driving a Speed 3. Where is the best place for buying, Otto or Elite? Been sending requests to a salesman at Otto to test drive a 135 and no response. The story: I met a salesmen from Otto mid-January to test drive both, a 335 and a 135. Unfortunately, they sold the 135 I was supposed to test drive, so, I only get to test the 335. I recently followed-up asking to test the 135i, no response. Not too impressed. |

Driving a Matrix right now...so no 1'er meet for me Soon soon I'll take the 1M out again...
JB007 honestly either or dealership, heard good things about Elite, I had a sleazy a sales guy over at Elite (found out later Mark Motors fired him) so I went over to Otto's. It was fine, the 135i purchase went well but my 1M I was bit ticked since they drilled holes in the bumper, they did make good on fixing it though. See if Wael gets back to you, still a BMW sales guy but he always got back to me LOL, plus he got me a 1M allocation at the last minute! Wael Athimni w.athimni@bmwottos.ca |

The guy I met was Mr. Dallaire. Great talking to him, but he's not follow-up on my request.
I would be getting a 1M if BMW would have been nice enough to make more than a hand full of them. Oh well, the 135i is plenty for the street. But the 2-3 times I have seen a 1M on the road, I drooled all over my shirt! I'll get in touch with Wael in the next little while. Planning to order in March assuming they agree to negotiate. The plan: 2013 BMW 135i, Alpine White, Coral Red leather, glacier silver trim, MSport Package, Sound Package, Premium Package, 6 speed manual transmission. |

Not impressed at all with Otto's. Avoid them. I asked them to do a simple inventory search to find me a manual 135 and they asked me to put down a deposit to buy the car first. Went to GTA as well to pick up my 135, great selection there. (it was almost impossible to find a manual 135i with msport) |

Ottos had the exact car I wanted but had 80,000 kms. Found the same car in Thornhill with 34,000 kms and ended up paying $4K less than the sticker on the Ottos car.... |

Took mine out this weekend, I've had it with winter!
Its going under the knife this weekend though, all the fluids changed, brake lines, replace the suspension (KW) and drop it, and a bit of exhaust work. After this weekend I'll be driving it as my DD so I should be out and about a lot, and of course at the track! Honestly not into the M&M meets, too old for those LOL, more into Sunday/Saturday morning meets or just go to the track . |
