Hey all. Just saying hello. Traded in my E92 M3 a couple days ago for an E82 135is in carbon black. I'll post a pic when i take one.

Congrats on the new car, and I imagine we'll be curious to hear what you think and your opinions comparing it to the other BMWs you've owned as you get more time in it.

Thanks. I really like it so far, but have had little chance to drive it much. They're two very different cars. The 135i is DCT (my first ever "auto") and the M3 was 6MT, and of course turbo v. NA. I like the paddles, but having trouble figuring out when to shift since I'm used to the high revs.

I was about to chastise you in the other post to say you need to post a picture, too!
Wow, looks amazing. Love the carbon black and that picture really shows off the blue of it that in person you only seem to see at certain angles/lighting situations. Man that looks great! How much smaller/better does the size of your car feel now compared to the M3? |

I'm holding my thoughts on comparisons until I get some more time driving the 1, but so far, for my driving and circumstances, I'm finding the 1 to be a better fit. Now, if I were a track rat........

Gorgeous.
Carbon Black is the second color (next to Blue Water Metallic) that I didn't have the cajones to order. Swirl marks make me cry, so no black/blue/purpley/awesome-colored cars for me. But damn it's nice.

I'm sure I'll finish the weekend and not be entirely excited about the stock 1er's capabilities. But I've been down the road of turning a non-track car into a track car, and the road does not lead to good places. For track, M3 please!

Thanks. Me too. Never had a 'black' car before. This one was a demo, the GM drove it for a while. Loved the color when I saw it.

Thanks for the compliments all. Enjoying the chats too. The M3 side was pretty active on the forum. Hope this side is too. I enjoy the talk with fellow owners.

Beautiful car.... I have CB 135is on order and it's scheduled to be at the port this week. I'll post a pic in a couple of weeks. Will put Dinan tune on asap, also.
Being honest, I'm questioning my decision right now, though. I have loved my 2 e90 N54 cars. The one I have now has PPK with Dinan S2 over top. Has been a fantastic car for 3 years. I didn't even test drive the 1er...dumb move. I hope the car is awesome.

For you, the biggest difference might be the N55. I can't speak to that as I am not very experienced with the tuned N54s. I will be curious to hear how your Dinan tune goes on top of the 135is. I had inquired with them about a tune in January and they told me it was not available yet. Please update this thread with info. For me, I'm not really considering it anymore, as the stock car has more power than I'll ever need or use. In any event, we want lots of pics when the car arrives! I think we are up to three CB 135is's on 1addicts now.

Snapped two shots while defensively parked today:
Beautiful day, just a bit cool.
