first post on a new forum - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

Good morning 1ers. The name's Mike. Tonight after work I'm stopping by my local BMW dealer (Wagner in Shrewsbury) to get my current 1998 Audi A4 (see pic below/above depending how this forum works) appraised for a trade in. If I get a good enough offer, I'll be signing on a 135i. SGM over Coral Red.

I test drove it last week and was sold before the tach hit 3k. What a car!

I've been lurking for a couple weeks now and was gonna hold off on posting until I had a car to post about, but I really can't imagine my deal tonight going south, so F it. Here we go...

sim simma?

Welcome to the community Mike. So did you do a deal?

Duckw · 08-20-2008, 10:16 AM

Welcome to a very small sub-group. As you are probably aware if you've been lurking, SGM will not be offered next year, so the number of 135s in that color is going to be almost undetectable in the huge pool of cars on our highways. Enjoy your car.

Welcome............and...SGM FTW :roundel:

What ever you do, keep the Audi!! You not going to get much for it. Keep is as a second car, especially up in Mass. Quattro is God send

Last, head over to audiworld you'll get a little more $coin$.

Audiworld is a great forum (I was EnzoA4 over there)...I'm kinda bummed to be leaving it.

And you're right, Quattro is God. Never in 5 years of owning the car did I ever get stuck. Not once. I wish I could afford to keep her, but I'm basically committing every dollar I've ever had and ever will have for the next 5 years to the 1er. A worthwhile cause for sure

Welcome. Make yourself at home. "One" drive does it again.....

i agree, what ever you do, don't trade it in to BMW.....sell it yourself or keep it.
