Extremely impressed. My iphone paired in 1 minute, the integration with the ipod classic is seamless. Much better user interface than I ever expected.

Car for the champions!

Wow, you have 3 cup holders? How did you manage the pop out? Is that standard?

rosky1 · 03-15-2008, 03:53 PM

Congrats. Looks great. Supposedly mine is on the truck to dealer in Va., according to CA. Solve the mystery (have heard both ways)- does it have "M" door sills?

Standard BMW sills for the US.

How do you like the glacier aluminum trim? That is what I ordered too, and I've had a really hard time getting any impression of it from the photos I've seen since of lot of them make it look like fish scales.

How about the stereo? Is it 10 speakers? Sound as good or better than the standard stereo in the E46 or E9x?

If you didn't get power seats - are the manual seat controls tolerable?

What were you initial impressions of the styling? Too pudgy? Too small? Too cute? :-)

larryn · 03-15-2008, 04:11 PM

Wow! Just Wow!

Is that plumbing for an oil cooler?

Your car looks great in SG.

Ringmeister · 03-15-2008, 04:36 PM

Love the detail shots. Nice color combo too.

I really like the trim. I thought I was going to swap it out for CF trim, but I don't know now.

I have the premium sound option, it sounds great. Its not the best sound system by any means, but its pretty damn good. It sounds better than my HK e46. Does anyone know how to check and see if its logic 7?

I have the power seats, but as far as initial impressions go, the 135i is $%#$$%## awesome. The looks are bold, I really like the flame surfacing. The drive is really tight, the steering is accurate, and the sport seats are luscious.

I will definitely post a detailed review tomorrow. I'm headed out to a sixers game now, then I'm going to come back and watch the AUS GP.

Yes, the oil cooler is there for those of us who get the sport package.
