Regarding comfort access, I don't have it on the 135 but my wife has it on her X1 and it is pretty cool. They only drawback is when two people have fobs and try to get it at the same time. I find that I have to race my wife to the car and open her door for her (she keeps her key in her purse), just to make sure the car opens with my fob settings. It does make me look like a gentleman when I do it, though! |

Love those stingrays as well, one of the prettier cars from the states almost as nice as a Dino or a gto 250. The only genuinely pretty modern bimmer to me is the z8. The prettier sister is the mazda rx7 to me .

The One is a unique vehicle which mimicked the iconic 1600, 1602, and the 2002 of the 1970s. It isn't a pretty car just like the cars it payed homage to, but it is a very good ride. It is very unlikely that another example similar to it will be coming down the road soon or ever again.
After my recent experience in the Floaty Boaty or X4, it is clear that BMW is headed in a very different direction. That is building goofy looking land yachts with lots of electronic gizmos and loads of comfortable amenities primarily for the kiddies and their parents. Anyway BMW mechanic laboriously worked on my 135i for several days and eureka my Vanos bolts have been replaced. The SA didn't want to let me see the Vanos bolts until I told him I'd have him excommunicated by the pope. He changed his mind and produced 8 bolts. Seeing 8 bolts was important being that none had disappeared into the engine! Anyway they looked fine. What lays in store for me as the odometers rolls on? I had better buy an extended warranty before the original expires. |

i3 is pretty awesome. I'd drive that daily and keep my future classic in the garage if I had two cars.

About 30 years ago, I had a racing buddy in the car biz let me drive a 70s Stingray (C3) he was delivering to a customer. On the way back (in a 7 series) I said "gees, that car drives horribly." "Yeah, they do." he replied. I suppose modding it heavily could help. Or just looking at it as an art object. On the other hand another friend's C5 was awesome. Unfortunately the electronics (top of the line options) were buggy and unfixable by his dealer. He sold the car. I think, based on the reviews, the Corvette is finally a world class sports car. |
