I am thinking to do the same gloss black on my wheels Edwin, it will save me some money doing this rather then getting a set of v701s in the same colour. I am just waiting on good old DTM Rack to stop screwing me around and sort my H&R Sport Springs!

If you can grab a good showroom model (NOT an ex-demo, should stay away from those) then you might be able to get away with $85k if they are desperate.

Go black with those stock wheels. H & R's and black wheels will look pretty nice Matt.
Did you like the wheels in my photos? Last edited by JB4-335; 06-02-2011 at 10:07 PM.. |

What's the reason you want an N55 model with DCT? I'd suggest you just slap on a tune to your N54 and you'll have all the car you'll ever need.

If they don't and I need to replace futures ones out of my own money, I'm sure it's probably cheaper to sell my current 135i and get a new one. I also don't have much mods..... My v5 is on my table waiting to be installed... |

Vishnu seem to be working on a permanent solution to the issue so if something comes out, that might solve our HPFP woes for good. Put that V5 in and you'll fall in love with your car again

I wonder how much money they care going to scam from this... Considering US is on recall.. Anyway slightly back on topic yes the n55 has same issues from what I hear... I haven't tried the n55 engine but I'm sure it won't disappoint. If i can find something decent with DCT without breaking the bank to upgrade I'll do it. Ive looked into getting a m3 but I'm not a track day person so there's absolutely no point buying one if you won't get much chances revving it over 6000rpm. It's nowhere near as fun to drive on a daily basis. |

<3 this thread.
Seriously though, I went to Trivett and they quoted me north of $90k with a low ball on my trade-in (the Evo X). Turned me off because they said that was the best they could do taking into account the fact that there were 'incentives' with the new facelift 135i coming out in only a few weeks time (from when I made the inquiry about a month ago). Funnily enough I actually had a figure in my head and if they were able to get me a brand new one for $70-$75k with DCT and satnav, or a changeover price of $30-35k, I would've quite possibly signed it within a few days or so (after getting my firm's leasing company involved). Oh well, in the end I wasn't that wowed by the 135i (i.e. wowed enough to spend $50k changeover) and decided to stick to my Evo |

Your post just shows your lack of appreciation that the dealer is a business and not a charity. If they had the car there for a while on the floor - they will consider getting rid of it with no profit because it starts costing them money. Would you work for your boss for free? I don't think so unless you are gaining something. Getting somewhere is about win-win and hard work. Don't expect someone just hand it to you on a plate. I can tell you if you have worked a little bit you would be able to get very close to a changeover in your budget range. People with atitude like yours are the ones who's giving the gen y a bad name. I am glad that the gen y's that I know on the forum are not like that. Sorry about my rant, but unfortunately, that's the attitude of many young ones who come through my door for interviews and they really p#ss me off as they are such a waste my time.
