Gotta love the weather out today, nice and sunny. Was cruising around with a friend and got so many looks this morning, felt really nice.

I had several compliments from various on my alpine white 135i [mostly from women].dunno if its good or bad in that sense.
The funniest I have heard is unfortunately on this forum .Such a comment coming from a BMW owner was just sad at first but I had to laugh after while. "BUT at what point are you diminishing the premium portion of your brand? Everyone I work with calls the 1 series the BMW for people who can't afford a BMW, I have to agree." |

Co-workers who've been in the car think it's a pretty big deal. Techs at the dealer and my indie shop love the car. But I have never had a headlight flash or beep-beep returned by another 1er. And I've never seen anyone in the next car or on the sidewalk seem to notice at all.

I signed up to a Miami-based "car enthusiast" forum, but I later found out it's just a place for high school ricers to mingle on. Anyway, I made an intro and said that I sold my Scion tC and bought the 1er...
Ricer #1: I won't congratulate because you're a person who wasn't able to work with what he had, so he bought his way there. Ricer #2: All you had to do was just put a simple turbo kit on it, make 250-300+/- whp all day stock block and rode out with some decent suspension on it. Ricer #3 with tC: Good job buying a girl car.

- I had a 335 and was hating on the 135 when it first came out. The I started seeing them and the look grew on me. Sold the 335 and bought a 135 and have not regretted it once.
- Surprised by the comments here. Everyone who's come up to me about my car has had nothing but positive comments. And I've never had a comment about the car being girly, but maybe the fact that I'm 6'2" 225lbs has something to do with it - Both e90 and e92 do look cleaner then the e82, and god knows the offsets suck on our cars, but there is just something so bad ass about a lowered 135 with nice wheels and tints - BMW owners are the WORST offenders of the "my car is better then yours because it has a higher number" game. Nothing worse then when a 525i tries and pull on you |

Haha you won't believe how many positive comments Scion forums would give to that kid if he posted that.

Comments about my 125i (128) convertible:
Good looking sales lady helping me load large painting in back seat with roof down: "What a Snazzy Car !" Me: "Thank you, almost 2 weeks old" Her: "You gonna come back for more I hope soon ?" Me, after 5 seconds of thinking: "Definitely, will bring my girlfriend too" My 12yrs old son standing by car while I move it out of parking spot, roof down: "Dad, your car is LOUD !" Me: "Yes, it has a big heart" My girlfriend getting in car, as I reach to roof-down button: "Don't put roof down, makes me feel like I'm showing off" Me: "Tell me that again, when you are a 70yrs old grandmother" |

I've only gotten compliments.
The guy working the gate into my gym's parking lot: Nice M3! Me: Thanks, but it's actually a 135. Him: Oh cool! The next day, same guy: Hey man, I'm so sorry I called your car an M3 Me: No worries, i took it as a compliment The other day at the gas station, an older gentleman with a 650i walked over and said "Nice car! How do you like it? I've heard great things about this!" |
