Seems about the same to me, I have to drive them back to back.

I know the 1 series hatch has been out for a while in Europe, but when you ordered it back in 2004 were you ordering a coupe, because I didn't even think they had made an announcement about the coupe coming out until last year, maybe I'm just out of the loop though.

Only thing I would change about the 1 series coupe is that I wish they got the same sports package "M" wheels as they have in Europe, either way it looks great in Alpine with the black interior and trim.

Ringmeister · 03-15-2008, 04:45 PM

When I ordered back in 2004 I was hoping for an "M" version. At the time there was discussion that the car would be a 2-series (coupes even numbers and sedans odd numbers) but the 2 never happened and they went with 1 instead. Note the year of the car as 200? :smile:

Ringmeister · 03-15-2008, 04:54 PM

I've always found one of the best ways to aquaint yourself with a car is to give it a wash. It got a little dirty this morning and the sun came out here this afternoon so why not.

Ringmeister · 03-15-2008, 04:56 PM

Few more. BTW, those are Mercedes mats I had laying around. Dealer said there are no mats in the USA, not very good planning by BMW NA.

Gary@TireRack · 03-15-2008, 04:57 PM

Congrats Ringmeister! It looks awesome.

I've never liked white cars. For some reason this car is a major exception. It's a 10.

Enjoy!!

fuhgetaboutit · 03-15-2008, 04:57 PM

You placed an order for a car 4 years before it was available - that is nuts! But in a good way. You have the patience of Job.

You truly deserved to be one of the first ones to get their car!

Agree with Gill - I also am no fan of white cars, but yours really looks sweet and the interior really compliments it.

Lo0mis · 03-15-2008, 05:02 PM

Looks awesome. Gray poplar or high gloss black trim?

Thanks. I have another order sheet for an E92 M3 on the same date. That one I passed on, decided to get the 135i instead.

High gloss black, I love the way it looks.

SpeedFrq · 03-15-2008, 05:09 PM

I swung by Hunterdon BMW on Rt 22 this morning and saw a very lucky gentleman taking delivery of his silver 135.

This is the first 135 I have seen in real life but I have to say the silver shows off the curves so well... beautiful car and I am now convinced this is my next car! Oh and the gentleman said he is a member of 1Addicts...

I took some pics but will wait for his permission before posting...

Bringinthewolf · 03-15-2008, 05:28 PM

Pictures of you washing it? Ok now you are just being nasty.
Congrats on your delivery. Wish it was me.

mateo · 03-15-2008, 05:29 PM

Wow.

Congrats to you...:roundel:

If you don"t mind me asking, what did you do with the R32?

ForceFedX5M · 03-15-2008, 05:32 PM

Keeping it, it's been one of my favorite cars ever. 46k miles and not one problem.

A great addition to the garage!

Did I miss the driving impression?

Congratulations!

Same here.. I wonder how many M3 sales will be lost to the 135. Your car looks great and you have M3 performance for $30,00 less!

AWESOME I cant wait until my Alpine White 135 turns up.The high gloss black looks fantastic, we can't get that in Australia - so I had to go with Alu trim. I may need to retrofit it though later...

Lets see some videos, driving, of the exhaust..

Looks great! I bet your over the moon!
