Video of 2 135i's at BMW Welt

Some of the sound effects are a little OTT, but some good shots around and inside the car.

(Picture quality not that great.)

Yeah, quite the budding director there.

Am I crazy or did that Sedona Red car have the big brakes on all four corners?

AFAIK, they do have similar looking brakes on all 4 corners, it is just that they are 2 pots at the rear compared to the 6 pots up front.

SA135i - Any chance you could give us a scan of the TopCar review? I went to their website, but it's a bad joke from the 90's - zero content.

Early in the video it is cute that the little kid puts his hands on the car when the camera approaches as if to say "that one is mine"

Yeah, I think I actually like the 264 style wheels over the 261's. They seem to fit the personality of the car better. The only thing that makes the 261 slightly cooler is the tiny M logos on them.

+1. I would also say Le Mans Blue.

Ealier I was highlighting the benefits of being in a third world country, i.e. no emissions taxes :thumbup:as they have in Australia and the UK and then promised to post a copy of the reviews of the 135 done by our local mags.

However, our wonderful electricity system has been shut down for a few hours (a concept called load shedding which they implement at the most rediculous hours - just as I was about to heat up my dinner for the evening), so I'm sitting here working by candlelight on my laptop until the battery dies, but sorry DevonK no scanning this evening. Will make a plan tomorrow.

I doubt it will be on ours, but you can always buy them after you have your car; which is what I'll be doing.
