Even though i don't like the M235....i still think it is waaaaaaaaaay better than the Lincoln-like 428 or 435 which has just grown way beyond the dimensions i would like to see in a 3-series (or 4-series..whatever). i think we need a RWD "0-series" soon......i'd get in line for a 035is! lol |

Glad you got 'em so quickly! Let us know if you end up switching out the "M Performance" badge for the proper PPK badge. And then post some pics, too! If anyone else needs the badge & sticker-set, let me know. If we get another 5 interested members, then I can place another order.

I am the proud owner of a new 2013 135i! I just traded in my 2011 328i on valentines day. It's got the M sport and tech packages and I also had them install the variant 1 PPK. Absolutely LOVE this car!!

I still want to add the German language one somewhere. I think that would be cool. Thoughts on where the German one should go??

Wait....you're kidding....right? PROS: - That estoril blue - The brake calipers - Slightly more modern interior - No "sag" on the door panels CONS: - Bigger - Heavier - Stupid front fender M badging - Electric steering rack - Don't think you can opt out of nav package - Rear end is gross - Front end looks too much like everything else - Not a fan of any of the wheel options - Synthetic engine noise through the car speakers!

Hey, synthetic engine noise enhancements via your stereo speakers is a great feature. Maybe they'll add some sort of signal processing so you can pretend you're driving a V10 while you piddling around in your quiet little twinscroll turbo'd four banger.

As for the nav package - it doesn't come with nav, but like the 3-series and such, you are forced into the giant ipad jammed into dash screen. But you still have to pay the $2500 or whatever for the tech/nav package. Otherwise, you get less of the screen being functional and looks like crap. It'd be interesting to see what it looks like though with some more aggressive wheels or a set of 313s on there. Those wheels are awful. |

My kid and I play little big planet karting and you have the option to select your engine sound and they have options like euro tuner or muscle car and there's one that sounds like a mosquito. Take note BMW.

Thanks, i want to place the german sticker on the inside of the door frame where the ppk install signature sticker would go but im not sure how it would hold up if it constantly got wet from rain/car washes.

As I look at the car more and more (sitting in our showroom right now) I really love the roof line...estoril blue is fantastic....and I like the front bumper (looks a lot like the 1m's to me)... And I wish we had an option on ours for a colored brake caliper. Other than that I can't help but just stare at the ugly rear....
I have not yet driven it, however, everyone who has said it was fantastic... May take it to cars and coffee in the morning and see for myself!

Looking at them, I think the front looks weird to me on the M235 cause the lights are so big and stretched/pulled backwards compared to ours, which gives ours a much squattier/bulldog look on the front end if that makes any sense. |

Got you. I have no idea what I'd call that curved line either. I can see why you are interested then in the performance sideskirts (if you still are). It would be a nice, more aggressive look if both the sideskirt and line on the door panel both were angled up and back like the sideskirts are.

And I hate how each time we open/close the door after washing the window then gets wet from going up/down that lil bit. So annoying. I should learn to do that trick they did when they tinted the windows so it stays all the way up when the door is open. That bottom 1/4" of the window is a pesky lil SOB to keep clean and streak free.

I'll be curious to see your thoughts on the new TT design then when they reveal it in a few days at the Geneva Auto Show. Supposedly is both modern with throwbacks to the one you still have. If it's aggressive enough and perhaps if they drop a 290-300hp version of that turbo 4 engine into it that's in the S3 I might potentially take a look at a next gen TTS or TTRS down the road if an M2 doesn't come to fruition or doesn't meet my stringent standards.
