He's telling the truth, there are impossible to get a hold of.

Each dealership only has an allowance of 2 1 series coupes per month.

My dealer had a demo for 3 months, sold it and has to wait until August to get another.

However, they have just received a 135i cab last week.

Would suggest driving any manual 335i (if you are after a manual) to 'get' the engine and then try and get a hold of an M Sport coupe of any engine type.

To be fair, if you like the 335i, the 135i is better to drive - more driver focused, more agile and a much better handling car. It doesn't crash over bumps like the 335 either.

Good luck!

PS try searching the BMW Used Car locator for used 135i's and see if there are any close?
