I considered a Cayman as well, but I would have had to have the S, and as IEDEI said, its not as practical as a 135is, so I'm happy with my choice. The Cayman S was definitely more expensive compared to the 135is, so that was definitely a factor as well.

I'd like to replace that gross plastic "diffusor" with the BMW CF one, but good lord is it pricey. Thinking about possibly wrapping the stock one black while I save up some cash. Do you have any photos of a 135is on BMW performance suspension? I'm curious as to how it looks.
Your car looks great! I'm interested in spacers, too. Let me know if you go ahead with it. Also interested in BMWP suspension, as I can't stand too jarring of a ride (or too low a ride height).

Welp, you went and did it, didn't you!?

That is exactly how my ZHP ended up sold and my E82 ended up in my driveway. Damn test drives. Good luck finding someone to take your 1er and on your Cayman purchase.

Haha yep! I got a 128i as a loaner and that did it for me, I had to have an E82. I didn't test drive a Cayman S for fear of bankrupting myself.

Agreed. The "s". Practicality is not an issue. Price is always a consideration of course. Don't get me wrong. I love the IS, and if I had more than one parking place in the parking garage......I would likely do very stupid things.

I like the purity of it. An "s" stripped basically. No funny buttons on the steering wheel. No electric seats. Just car....


So any takers??

Yeah.....damn invitation brochures. I simply can't resist. Combine it with the fact that I despise where BMW is headed.....

Ok. I'll stop the thread hi-jack now.

It's not too hard to get out of your lease if you find someone to assume it. BMW has to approve them and I think there's a $500 lease transfer fee once BMW approves them. You just can't do it within the last 6 months of a lease, which obviously doesn't apply here.

I'm waiting for the dealer to put on the performance CF spoiler. I'll be looking into a CF diffuser possibly at that point. I just don't want too much of the stuff.

I was thinking about a CF spoiler as well, but I think I'll just wait till I can afford a proper CF trunk with the lip built-in, and paint color-matched.

Do it, the lines look really good with the spoiler

I love this sound in the morning! Today, from a stop sign, I accelerated into a short tunnel with my windows down. As good as a cold start sounds, acceleration into a tunnel is a whole new orgasmic experience! I've got to try to capture this sound and post it online...

Sounds like you're back Rick, and now I'm gone from mine. Will be curious to hear what you think of those PSS after a few hundred miles.

If anyone needs me, I'm in Vegas and remembering why I always swear I'm never coming back. Hmm, who to bet on in tonight's WNBA final game...Lynx 6.5 point favorites over the Dream? Hahaha.

I love the eyebrow lights on this thing!



I'd also like to add that I took this with my iPhone 5S. Pretty damn impressive for the dark.
