It Was a Fun Ride

bimmerfan15 · 03-01-2011, 12:13 AM

It's not really a sad story. I had my beloved 2008 135i for just over two years. I had intended on keeping it until the end of the lease next december but increased income and my growing love for the new 2011 z4 35is prompted me to turn in my 135i early in favor of a white, loaded with white napa leather, z4.

It was a fun ride. I won't miss the awful performance on runflat tires but will miss the steering and overall coolness of the little white super car that was the 135i. Here they both are along with my awesome girlfriend.

Great engine and nice to see your still behind the wheel of a BMW!!

Wow, not many people can say that these days. Are you an investment banker by any chance? LOL j/k... Anyway good luck with the Z car! Check out the ZSCCA.

Nice ride. I just remember when I had my S2K and dropping the top on a nice summer night. Nothing like it.

There was a bright red Z4is last time I was at the performance center. Looked GREAT! Your's and your girlfriend also look very nice.

Very nice on all counts. Keep making money and buy a new 135 for a daily driver. Like the Z, but not as a daily driver and I do need that.
