New 135i Owner!

wiscogirl · 06-10-2016, 07:20 AM

This forum has been priceless as I was searching for my "perfect" 135i! I finally found one just a few miles from my house hours before I was about to book a plane ticket to pick one up in Florida! 2013 135i in space gray with coral red interior, DCT, m-sport package, non-navi (I love the clean dash lines) with only 17,000 miles! Best part is she even came with a full set of alloy BMW rims and snow tires (I'm in Wisconsin)! Glad to join the fun! Pics below (just rained today so she's a little dirty).

Congrats!

Iron Man · 06-10-2016, 09:21 AM

Looks great! Coral red is my favorite. An no run-craps as well.

fast1eddy · 06-10-2016, 09:51 AM

Great find. I'd really like to try one of these cars with a dct. Must be a blast.

Yes...no run-craps! I love the MPSS, they're a great tire! First week I had them I pinch flatted on a lovely Wisconsin pot-hole though. Nothing like replacing a new $200 tire

Welcome to 1ADDICTS! Nice color combo. Coral Red is great! Had it in my 1st 1er and think it's the nicest color interior. Still miss not having it in my current 135i. Would've had the superman combo!

tock172 · 06-10-2016, 12:44 PM

Excellent color combo and tire choice! Welcome!

mr.fabulous · 06-10-2016, 04:32 PM

Nice car! And snows are a must, I spent a lot of time in WI and always ran snows (makes a HUGE difference).

And, um... I hope this isn't politically incorrect, but it's nice to see a woman on this list (this place is very dude heavy, we could use some balance

).

blue135 · 06-11-2016, 11:10 AM

Good choice. Welcome and enjoy!

Strange question, but um, are you sure that's space gray? Sure looks like it's mineral grey, which obviously is the prettiest color of all.

delta-9-ginseng · 06-11-2016, 04:22 PM

Woohoo! Congrats

Was just about to ask the same thing.

Congrats on a great find!

That's embarrassing...you're right it is mineral gray...I was reading another post just before mine and clearly hadn't had enough coffee yet! Nice catch...and I agree it is the best color

Thanks for the tip...I'll hope over there! I don't see many 1's in Madison so thanks for sharing the info!

Matticus91 · 06-13-2016, 08:36 AM

Congrats and welcome, looks identical to my first 1er.

Buy from Tirerack, they'll cover the replacement cost next time.

No kidding??? They were from Tirerack and I re-purcahsed the one through them as well...maybe I'll see if I can work something out now! Thanks for the tip!

Sure give them a call, they have road hazard insurance and for certain performance brands if a tire is a total loss they'll cover the full replacement.

ejm3 · 06-13-2016, 09:33 AM

I thought you had to pay extra for the road hazard from Tire Rack?

Esteban · 06-13-2016, 02:04 PM

I also think Mineral Gray is a good looking color on the 1 series. Actually, like all the colors that were available for the 1er. Probably mostly due to the fact that I think the E82/88 is such a great looking car. A little partial to the blues, though.
