It's definitely quite an aggressive setup in the back - the front is quite high for most people, I personally don't mind - makes drive ways easier! Plus the suspension is pretty well sorted and I'm not one to mess with a good thing.

These things will set you back ~$115K. Not bad at all for what you get! I think there's still a few cars from the second allocation kicking about. One of the members - WAY - had a contact for a BSM car with Sept delivery.

Thank Timbo. It does leave a bad taste in your mouth but ultimately we all bought the car for the car.

115k on the road. Australia was just allocated another 100 units, so there's definitely a chance of securing one.

Alik: wow! You took some bloody awesome photatoes there mate... High five! Am glad to see you found a worthy replacement for the 130i.

Thanks Woosh. This camera must be really good - I more or less just point and click and BAM!

Definitely a worthy replacement - in fact it's more like what30i?

Very fond of the Sth Coast also!! Did you go as far south as Narooma??? Also, did you drive the the Kings Hwy from Batemans Bay to Braidwood? Nice stretch of road!

-satanic- · 08-24-2011, 11:39 PM

Congratulations, lovely photos and the adds the finishing touch to the house!

$115K on the road? I should've saved a little more and got that instead of the 135i... I always thought it was $115K + on-roads!

No mate, didn't go past Batehaven - great pizza there actually! Went up the Clyde a few times!

I wanted to do the drive up to Braidwood as I was told it was a good stretch, but we were late for golf and had to go back.

I did do a run up Kangaroo Valley - that was a spectacular stretch of road - but was caught behind a truck for some of it.

Really liked Milton - the furniture shop there has such an amazing collection of stuff. 2 Original Eames chairs being restored!

Thanks man, I do love that house, has a really nice and cozy interior too.

It's $99K plus on roads. So really good value compared to most things out there. Don't worry, you'll love the 135i, it's 95% the same car and an absolute hoot - some suspension & JB4/Proceed should see you there.
