It took me a whole week and 2000 pics to decide to revert to shadowline after changing it to chromeline. I initially thought the chromeline tied in with the alloys beautifully, but then seeing all the pics I concluded it made it look like an SE and not an M! Plus, there's the "street cred" factor my more clued up mate was telling me about, where less chrome == more cred.

Then the decision about Coral or Black interior took another week or so, and 3 trips to the showroom. At least they have free coffee and biscuits.

Can't wait to get it, and run it in over one weekend !

(by the way, I've owned a E36 320i for 12 years and still looks new, doesn't use up a single drip of oil between services, and loves to rev round to 6k on a weekly basis - my wife wanted to trade it in as scrap value!)

Now have it.

Pleased? Oh yeah.

Hiya.

Had my E82 123d M Sport Coupe since July 09, registered Sep 08 - tbh not the best car I've ever had ... suffered quite a few niggles, which I hope are behind me now - thank goodness for the warranty. I'd also forgotten what it's like to drive a rwd in the snow and ice - time to invest in some autosocks I think!!

Hi Guys

I have just ordered my 135i, it should be here mid February just in time for a March delivery. Spec as follows

Alpine White
Black Leather
Sun Protection Glass
Folding auto dipping mirrors
Front Seat Heating
Aluminium trims
Xenon headlights
High beam assist
Front and Rear parking sensors
Cruise control
Pro Navigation
Bluetooth
Connected drive / assist
USB
Business hifi

Really can't decide on the colour though, this is the first white car after a string of black e90's and e46's but yet I still fancy black again!

What are people thoughts to the red leather in a black car?

Regards

Adrian

The red leather goes really well with white, black and suprisingly grey body colours. We agonised over the coral red interior for weeks with our space grey, but it's been best decision for years.

Hi Guys

Just thought I'd say hello. Ordered a 135i Coupe (AW,Boston CR, Dark Grey Poplar + bits and bobs) at the end of February and am looking forward to a Mid April delivery.

Have been viewing the site for the last week or so and have picked up some useful info from you all so many thanks.

Thought long and hard before choosing the colour combination (still wonder about the red leather !) but have had black leather interior too often before. Also some trepidation about the N55 engine over the 54, looking forward to seeing some reviews as it starts to hit these shores.

Bye for now

[mad chemist]

LBeamer1,

Welcome to 1Addicts. I remember like it was only yesterday when I was in your position. Been getting good info off this site for the last 2 years of my 135i ownership. You're going to love the car but I only hope the popular tuners get something out in the near future because you're gonna want that extra power eventually.

Best,

Mad.

[Slim1892]

Hiya,
Nice to know this forum exists, thought I might be the only 135i owner in the country! Have to keep an eye out from now on just in case I run across any of you. Nice weather is here time to start polishing your cars and start cruising around....

Hi all

Have a 118D Msport Black Sapphire had it from new (56 plate). just found the forum and the car goes back to lease company in 3 weeks!

[Joer]

Hi guys,

New here, but have been following for the past few months.

Will be getting 1 coupe sometime next year, however haven't decided on whether I should go for a 135i or a 1M.

If I go for the 135i, not sure which transmission to go for. As I've just come back from test driving a DCT version (with some very nice BMW performance parts) and it really is amazing! Maybe a bit too smooth though?

Cheers,

Joe

Hi guys - yet another newbie on here - still getting used to finding my way around. Just thought I'd introduce myself and post some pictures of my recent acquisition, which are on my profile. I have a 123d M Sport, in space grey, with various additional bits and bobs, but nothing so exciting that it's worth adding at this point. If there is anyone on here from the Southwest of Scotland, get in touch and maybe if we can arrange a meet, I'd be up for it! Looking forward to posting and generally getting used to this site.

Hello everyone,

Ordered my Saphire black 118d Sport back with Xenons, Cruise Control, Rear parking aid, Sun Protection glass and De-badged on October the 4th and finnaly recieved it on January 8th, Its very lovely to drive and so comfortable.

I do alot of motor way miles so diesel was a priority, Cannot fault the car.

Perhaps when I reach 25 in a couple years ill think about upgrading to big beefy petrol.

Hope you are all enjoying your cars.

Kyle.

I'm new here as well and have only just recently ordered my first BMW. I've probably got about a 16 week wait, so I'll be looking to the forum for my BMW fixed until it arrives

Cheers,
