Mine did not. I believe they only come with the manual.

Back on topic: I put my down payment on a
135is order slot today. Wife did an about face (again) back to V Red/Oyster from LM Blue/Oyster. geez!

Oldest son put in his vote for the LM Blue/Black. Waiting to hear on youngest son's 2 cents.

Hmm, I need to cast my vote before Monday a.m.

FWIW, empty nesters we are; therefore, I need to thread carefully on how much weight each family member's vote gets: since I'm within a nose punch of the wifey.

gregthegr8 · 04-21-2013, 02:03 AM

You put in what your wife's choice and oldest son's choice are but not what YOUR personal choice is at this point, before considering their opinions.

I'm sure some people on here want you to get the vermillion red, just cause nobody has seen any pictures of one in red. There were a couple of 135is cars posted early in this thread in LM blue, you should check those out if they may help. A couple other people on here recently posted pics of their LM Blue with Oyster, though they were not on an "is."

Looks like the ones tested in the recent reviews online were in lemans blue with the black so that may help. I think you should also consider whether you're intent on wanting the black leather with blue stitching, as it's a no brainer if you get one of the blues.

Having struggled with the color many many times before placing my order, after placing my order, etc., I understand it for sure, and trying to get pics of a 135is in various colors and color combos has proved extremely difficult. Keep us updated!

Lovely colour

m981addicts · 04-21-2013, 03:47 PM

I haven't leaned toward any particular color. Yesterday I was at 'a' dealer (not the one I'm ordering from) and liked the vermilion red w/oyster on a 128. There was an Estoril II sitting on the showroom floor (I liked the original Estoril). Test drove a black sapphire Z4 s Drive 35IS DCT--awesome drive!

This morning, I ordered the Lemans Blue w/Oyster (light colored preferred because my wife is disabled and not able to wiggle in hot seats, so the cooler the better), 7 DCT, heated seats, alarm, parking distance control, rubber mats(saw it save an entire spilled BigGulp drink from messing a friend's car). Second hardest part done.

Now begins the hardest part of the journey...waiting.

gregthegr8 · 04-21-2013, 04:50 PM

Congrats. Love the lemans blue, I just didn't have the panache to pull off getting it.

And know that just in case, you still probably have a couple of weeks to change the color last minute if you want/need to.

m981addicts · 04-21-2013, 04:52 PM

Thanks for all the advise everyone!

phobic · 04-22-2013, 11:18 AM

Im hoping to get my 135 this week or next week. There are some amazing looking rides in here. Looking forward to being apart of the group!

Was just looking at the press release and it says the 135is comes with stainless steel pedals (not specifying transmission). When mine comes in if the pedals are not there i will try to get the dealer to throw them in for free.

Good Luck, let me know if they change them.

gregthegr8 · 04-22-2013, 08:21 PM

Well, a few days left til I can actually show you MY car, but this was just posted online, so I can show you not only a car, but I can also show you how an "is" SOUNDS from both inside and outside the car.

Enjoy!

mb135is · 04-22-2013, 09:51 PM

It's just so good, especially in warmer weather.

Yeah...test drive, shmest drive. I do have a 2010 335i sport with Dinan S2 on top of the first version of the PPK. So, I have some idea of what to expect. Shorter wheel base will be more kart-ish (good and bad)...shifts will be faster

Excellent! Enjoy delivery and that first drive. Make sure the windows are down! We are all looking forward to hearing your impressions.

AGAV13 · 04-23-2013, 12:44 PM

Wahoo!! My 135is just finished production, now comes the looong and anticipating wait.

m981addicts · 04-23-2013, 01:59 PM

Okay, it's been awhile since I ordered the 09 135: when are you able to 'track' the production status?
