Finally, Ive decided!

QJS · 08-12-2008, 12:20 AM

Hey folks

After months and months of researching on what hatchback or coupe car to buy ive decided to go for the 1.

I went to the dealership here in Bahrain to checkout the 1er, there was just 1 135 and the others wer the lower models. The 135 they have is in Montego Blue/Boston Terra/Aluminum Trim but sadly in auto.

So ive decided on this and im gonna go to the dealer to order it in a couple of hours :thumbup:

Alpine White/Black/CF Trim, 6 speed Manual, the way it should be

, FULL option, M-Package, 261 wheels.

Cant wait!

After im done with the dealer im gonna come back home to finish my mod shopping

Thanks to 1addicts.com and to its members for making me go for the right choice. Safe

hey guys, thanx for the welcome, appreciate it

just got back from the dealer and everything is under control. There's one thing im not sure about, the sunroof, shall i order it with it or without it? im leaning towards without it cuz most of small sport coupes dont come equiped with it for many reasons, 1 is weight. So any of u guys without the sunroof regreting it? or are u cool without it?

Don't get it!

bdardashti · 08-12-2008, 11:17 PM

You mentioned you're getting it fully loaded...you may also wanna rethink active steering. Definitely drive a car with it before you make your decision. I'm guessing by full option you mean you're getting that as well, but from a performance perspective, you MAY not like it...

imported_mega · 08-13-2008, 06:32 AM

I sure wish we did not have to get them in the US

WhiteOne · 08-13-2008, 11:25 AM

Car sounds great. I would skip the sunroof. Your car list is awesome.

RobLS · 08-13-2008, 11:53 AM

Yeah, in my current car I have the sunroof/moonroof, I can't tell you the last time I used it.

yup, u got that right...im getting it with the Active Steering.

i had a chat with the salesguy today and told him to delete the sunroof from the list.

now, im still researching for what to shop for mods.

The CPE exhaust system sounds nice and imo is the best looking one too, which i think im gonna order.

The Tii kit, i know BMWunited sells them, but who do u recommend to contact from ther sales? I would like to know if they ship international and would like to know if the warranty is international or just for the US?

Im thinking of ordering those racing seats and some CF bits from them and probably a chip? if they have one? and if it comes with warranty that will be great too, if not, then i guess im gonna go for the AC Shnitzer chip cuz the BMW dealer here is also a ACS dealer, and if i purchase any engine mods throu them i get it with warranty so it doesnt fck up my 5 year service contract.
