That sounds like a good swap to me. The Golf R seems like a pretty cool ride.
Really just waiting for the US 2018 model details to come out. Probably June-July. I almost bought a new TTS and fell in love with the virtual cockpit.
Just don't even think of trading your beautiful Mineral Grey 135is.

That car is so much better than the Golf R. That sweet in-line six.

I just got the 135is. The R would replace the Avalon.

Looks great in that color. I like the M4. A lot of people like the M3 better. I think they're both nice, just depends on what you need and what you want.

Did you drive it? What'd you think?

Nah, I did start it up and get comfy in it, but it seems so huge and I can't do an orange interior. It looks hot but I don't think I could live with it day to day. I was actually underwhelmed at how it sounded. I think my car sounds 10x better. But maybe it sounds better when you drive it.

Beautiful... I really like that color, but Black seems to find me...lol This was the day I picked up my 2012 135i M sport with only 19,000 miles on it. Couple exterior mods accomplished already

I'm trying to figure out what maintenance needs to be done.

First issue I noticed was the climate control fan was always running on high and was very loud when set on auto (middle intensity) and 72F. Checked the cabin air filter and sure enough it was clogged with leaves, so I cleaned them out and will order a new filter. Much better now. Any suggestions on where to buy and what brand?

Checked the engine air filter and it appears to be dated 20.07.11 and my car was built in Aug 2011, so it was probably never changed? I thought all BMWs have the maintenance included, although my car only has 33k miles.

Brake fluid indicator pops up when I start the car and says 09/2016, so I guess I will get this done.

Oil was changed by CarMax before I bought it, but who knows what oil they used. Any suggestions on which oil to use that is also readily available? I have some Castrol Edge European Formula 0W-40 and it does say it is BMW Longlife LL-01 rated.
