I'm stopped at an intersection, also waiting for the same red-light to change, headed in the opposite direction, is a car-load of younger fellows in a modified MazdaSpeed3, they're pointing at my car, I pretend to not notice...it was amusing.:wink:

While inside coffee shop (trying to be über incognito), I noticed a gaggle of customers gathering outside, walking around my one. They were checking it out from all angles, peering inside, trying to figure out what it was. My guess is they hadn't seen any 135s before. Definitely a first for me; I never got reactions like this from my old Boxster. I couldn't decide whether to be super-proud or weirded out - or both. I get the feeling this is what it feels like to take a supermodel out to dinner. Gonna take some getting used to, I think.

I was pleasantly surprised this last weekend when I parked the 1er in the paddock area of Hallett for a vintage race. Had a lot of folks scope it out as we were wrenching on a buddy's 240z.
That was gratifying in that these guys know cars and my experience so far in the city has been that it attracts little to no attention (which is just fine with me ; -). |

135i: List. Tank of Gas: $50.00. Serengeti Sunglasses: $100.00. Car getting nods of approval from legit auto enthusiasts instead of blank stares from clueless wannabes: Priceless.
