Hi chaps,
Been lurking for a while, so thought it was time I said hello...
After a bit of chasing, Vines of Gatwick have finally managed to get hold of a maual 135i for me to test drive tomorrow. I can't wait to see for myself what the car is like after reading so many positive comments here and elsewhere...
I had an E46 M3 SMG a couple of years back, and if the 135i is anything like as quick I will be more than satisfied! Has anyone heard any news about a DCT version? If (when!) I order a car it will probably be pretty stripped down (Alpine white, cloth, no nav) but I could well be interested in a dual clutch box if available.
I acutally have an order in for a new Nissan GT-R, but am getting cold feet about over-stretching myself, and have always fancied the 1 - its a great combination of performance, efficiency and (dare I say it) practicality, in a compact package. In the current climate, the GT-R's <15mpg, £450 tax and £500 a pop tyres may not be prudent. So perhaps I will be the first one to chose a 135i as an economical solution!!
