New 135i owner!

license to funk · 12-16-2014, 05:42 PM

Hello everyone!, I just purchased a titanium silver manual 2011 135i with 45k miles yesterday. I am switching from a G35 (finally). I live in chicago so I am currently preparing for the harsh winter for the little 1. I am excited to start modding as soon as the funds are avaliable!

Welcome, fellow 1addict. You have joined the dark side.

She's looking good! Hope you got 1 with heated seats :P

Ed P · 12-16-2014, 06:39 PM

Welcome aboard! Looks nice - M-Sport?

delta-9-ginseng · 12-16-2014, 07:31 PM

Congrats! Looks ah-mazing!

JuanMata · 12-16-2014, 08:42 PM

Great color and it looks like it came w/ tinted windows

. Welcome aboard!

Esteban · 12-16-2014, 09:08 PM

Welome and congrats on your new purchase! Yeah, It's Msport. You can tell by the 261 style wheels.

Thanks!, and yes it has m sport but no heated seats. I need to find some winter tires asap cause the Bridgestone run flats are gonna be pretty sketchy.

Esteban · 12-16-2014, 11:20 PM

Aren't those sport seats to die for? What about that chunky ///M steering wheel? The sport pkg on the 135i is the best and only real option necessary imo.

Gray_Panther · 12-17-2014, 06:34 AM

Looks extremely clean and glossy!!!
Congratulations! And gl getting winter tires asap!

CAVU · 12-17-2014, 07:47 AM

Congratulations on your new ride! I came from a G37 and really appreciate the BMW straight 6 motor over the NVH of the VQ engine.

Are you planning to install a set of winter tires on your 261 rims or get a set of dedicated rims?

BMWX1-35i · 12-17-2014, 12:36 PM

Congrats and welcome to the happy place.!

Chicago and no heated seats? Oh the horror!

Looks good. Avoid those infamous Chicago potholes.

I'm fearing the -20 it can get to! Luckily I'm far enough away from the city so I don't have to see as many potholes..

BMWX1-35i · 12-17-2014, 07:33 PM

My son just moved from Chicago back to New York in Manhattan. He said it was too damn cold and too windy

Congratulations from a fellow 135i newbie. I fall in love again every time I step on the accellerator. Does that mean I have a problem? Although I did fill up w/ Shell V power for $2.69 a gallon, so I don't feel too bad.

sdpauly · 12-18-2014, 07:42 PM

Congrats, looks a lot like mine.

Definately dump those RFT tires as soon as possible. I replaced with Michelin PSS and it's a night/day difference.

mike@x-ph.com · 12-28-2014, 11:33 AM

Congrats!!
