135i for daily use?

Dr3K0 · 09-02-2009, 09:22 AM

No one mention that it gets good gas millage on highway. I score 31mpg @70

My previous joy ride was moded Fiero GT. It had 300hp/300tq under 2700lbs. It was a blast, actually faster than the 135i but to have all that under control the suspension had to be moded. That damn car felt like a uber go-kart. LOL

It did not forgive anyone. I rather not drive it rain. It was dangerous.

But the 135i is way better than anything I have driven lately. I found it even more joy able that my nephew C6. Also I like small cars, they are better to toss around corners and drive thru traffic. It is very comfortable and civilized. Go a take a test drive; that will point you right to the CA. LOL

Good Luck

I daily drive it. Its great, has very good torque no matter where the RPMs are. good ride quality considering you can get to 60 in about 4.7 seconds. coming out of supra you will love build quality it feels very solid. I put a JB+ in mine. I set it to 100% and it gets me about 330rwhp. Cost 275.00 and takes minutes to plug in.
IMHO the 135 is the only daily driver all others fall short somewhere and this car seems designed for this role.

My old 330ci was a daily driver and I really loved that car.
My 135i blows it out of the water in nearly every single respect.
Even in the winter snow, I prefer my BMW's RWD (with snow tires) to any other vehicle I've been in or driven.
