Original 1addicts

BMW86 · 04-13-2015, 02:22 AM

Hey everyone... I am curious to see how many original 1addicts are still around here.

To qualify you must have purchased the car new/demo, or, purchased a new/demo E82 and replaced it with another E82

I've had mine for over 6 years

Esteban · 04-13-2015, 02:49 AM

I bought a brand new 2008 135i in 2008 and replaced it with a brand new 2011 135i in 2010. Been reading 1ADDICTS since 2008, didn't sign up to become a member till June 2014, though. Do I still qualify?

yawn · 04-13-2015, 03:11 AM

Yep still kicking with my e82 bought new in late 09.

pepper135I · 04-13-2015, 03:25 AM

On my second e82 and third n54 since 09. Man our cars rock!

Wow you're a long time lurker. I remember doing the same thing but I eventually signed up. So the big question. Which 135i do you prefer more?

3 n54's? That's crazy!

TS135i · 04-13-2015, 03:54 AM

Yes, I was a long time lurker and now I'm trying to make up for lost time.

To answer your question, the 2011 with the dual clutch transmission. That's the reason I traded in the 2008 with the steptronic... I wanted the DCT. Fastest auto tranny I ever drove.

I'd prefer a manual, but can't work a clutch anymore. Severely broke my left ankle in 2008. Pretty much just drove manuals before that.

Liub · 04-13-2015, 04:07 AM

Still around gents. The boys were bugging me for a meet but I'm a bit over the whole 'scene' lol.

Bought my E82 135i new in 2008 sold in 2012 > F30 328 > Mini JCW > and now back into a m135i

Purchased 1M in 2011 and still here..

Tj303 · 04-13-2015, 06:54 AM

Yep, signed up in late 2008... specifically requested a 2009 model.

Only got around to adding a JB4 a couple of months ago, only 42000km on the clock and still loving it!

Raz0s · 04-13-2015, 07:17 AM

Bought my N54 BMW 135i at the start of 2010.... its sold now and waiting 3 weeks for my CLA45 AMG.... but that forum isnt as good .... well except for the fact BMW86 is there :P

Yes the DCT is pretty good. There's a good reason why BMW didn't put in the 1M

You've probably got the record Joe!

dontask · 04-13-2015, 11:02 AM

No fair, I don't quality cos I bought my 135i second hand from Wayne! (waay back in 2009)

Whats your fave car in your stable now Vin?

COZ01M · 04-13-2015, 07:25 PM

Started lurking around the site and toying with the idea of buying a 1 series in 2008, finally brought my 1M new in 2012,last boat load, still got it, love every minute of it.

I did the same thing when I got word the iDrive was being updated. So glad I waited for it too. 42000km is nothing. You need to drive more!

Haha there's a few ex 1er owners on the CLA forum. You will love the 45. It blows me away how good it is for a bone stock car.

Adrian, you've had your 1er as long as I've had mine. Except you have 2 x N54's with upgraded turbos!

It's hard to say what's my favourite. I've been driving the Macan a lot lately because I'm breaking it in. Filled up the meth tank in the 1er yesterday... can't beat that boost though

That would be a great feeling after waiting that whole time. The 1M will be a classic. I would keep it forever

BMWRX · 04-14-2015, 02:12 PM

Bought mine in August 2009 but was on here a month or two before that.

wmj73 · 04-14-2015, 03:54 PM

Sold mine but still lurking around 😄

tritonx · 04-14-2015, 04:25 PM

Got my lovely one 5 years ago.

The biggest "stupid" buy of my life but I don't regret it, it served me well and it will for years to come.

It's now paid for and I plan to keep it until I buy an autonomous car.

It's not stupid if you love it and enjoy it

RadiuM · 04-14-2015, 08:46 PM

Ordered mine Oct 2008, got it 6 months later. GFC, factory "closing down" blah blah.

Best thing I ever bought, even with all its issues.
