Just though I'd introduce myself...

cristopher1014 · 03-04-2014, 09:54 AM

Hey everyone,

I'm Chris, 24 years old, living in upstate New York. I'd been looking for a 135 for a couple months and finally pulled the trigger a couple weeks ago. 2008 135, with 73k. I love it and I look forward connecting with the 1addicts community! In addition to the 1 I've also got a 98 318ti (which will be going on the market soon), an 87 Porsche 944S and an 05 Buell XB9R.

As for mods in my future; some day but not immediately. For now I plan on making sure the car is solid and ensuring it is up to date on all maintenance. After that I think the best mod for me would would be seat time. The car is amazing and I think to do it justice I should develop myself as a driver before changing anything on it. This summer I plan to look for some autox events. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get involved, any advice is much appreciated!

Thanks in advance for the help, advice, and probable ball-busting I know you all will provide throughout my 1 ownership.

I attached a couple pics the dealer had posted.

pics of the 944??

suspenceful · 03-04-2014, 09:02 PM

Awesome! My favorite exterior/interior combo.

What packages does it have? If you don't mind me asking, what'd you pay for it? Only reason I'm curious is because I'm looking at a 2008 with 80k miles and I'd like to see how the prices compare.

Oh... and welcome!

johngrossi · 03-04-2014, 09:08 PM

Welcome! Great community here.

That's a great color combo

I can try and grab a couple after work. Unfortunately the car is currently in an unlit garage with the battery out charging...

I paid 18,5... It was a bit more than I was hoping but I decided to bite the bullet and pay extra to make sure it had the color combo/options I wanted rather than regret not having them later. There were cheaper options, but unfortunately nothing close to me. After shipping they would have been about the same if not more. In the end, I don't regret a thing.
