Finally saw a 135 in person

I was at my dealer last night signing my PO for my European delivery, when I saw that they had one Black Sapphire 135 sitting on the lot. Wow, this car does look so much better in person. Some proportions can look odd in pictures, but that's not the case seeing it in person. I was offered a test drive, but unfortunately did not have time. Maybe next week (plus it was an auto). There were also two new M3's on the lot; a coupe and a sedan. Absolutely striking cars, though incredibly expensive with the options they had. I remember E39 M5's being a little less expensive.

I have to agree, it does look better than in 2D. I saw and drove one this morning.

Drive it when you get time, I was reluctant to even drive an auto because I will only take a manual, but it's a few few months before my local dealer will be getting one with a manual so I said what the hell. I was seriously impressed with the car even with an automatic and it was a blast to drive.

Oh btw, what dealership are you getting yours through? My local one doesn't want to talk much about ED.

I'll definitely drive it when I have the chance. I'd like to compare it to the 335 manual I drove. I'm working with Ralph Schomp. My family and I have purchased/leased several cars from them before. They didn't have any problem working with ED, but it took a little while for me to get on the list (there was one person ahead of me).
