135i owner events?

noelle · 06-07-2009, 05:34 AM

Hi,

Anyone aware of any 135i owner events / meets in the UK?

JBizzle135i · 06-07-2009, 09:20 AM

+1 I'd be interested to know this too.

clived · 06-08-2009, 04:50 AM

Only if we organise one I guess!

noelle · 06-21-2009, 05:05 AM

So that's three of us already!

JBizzle135i · 06-21-2009, 11:17 AM

I know another owner who would probably be interested as well.

noelle · 06-22-2009, 07:26 AM

Great - anyone else?

Si-M240i · 06-25-2009, 07:49 AM

could be......

There don't seem to be many 135i's in the UK

///Mike135i · 06-26-2009, 05:33 AM

I am in Berkshire and would be happy to attend.

I just need to wait for my car to arrive, looking like the first week in August at this point.

Mike

noelle · 07-01-2009, 03:14 PM

If we have enough interest (maybe 10 people?) I'm happy to organise a get-together in Oxford.

How about sometime mid-August? Should still be good timing for a BBQ...

JBizzle135i · 07-02-2009, 12:04 AM

I'm up for that, I'm over in Gloucester so not far for me anyway.

Besides the confusing american dates it looks really cool. If you're thinking of something like it, let me know.

///Mike135i · 07-06-2009, 06:46 AM

Noelle I would be really interested in a local meet in Oxford. The only issue I have at this point is that BMW have called me to say my car probably won't be first week in August. If its later in August I am going to wait for September for a 59 plate. Maybe I can attend the next one if its successfull.

ru55 · 08-03-2009, 03:03 PM

why ? and what remap did you have ?

///Mike135i · 08-04-2009, 03:39 AM

If there were to be a meet in August around Oxford I would happily come up in my bang bus (e34 525 tourer) for the purpose of saying hello and seeing what some of you have done. It would be to go for a spin as I haven't actually been out in a 135 even though I have one on order lol.

Good luck with the BBQ though haha.

Also RU55 what's happened with yours?

ru55 · 08-04-2009, 06:24 AM

Arrrgh!

SOMETIMES when i accelerate hard in 2md or/and 3rd the power delevery isnt smooth, its delevered in short fast bursts!

Got it re-mapped at chippeduk in Bromsgrove, i'm going to ring them up today and cry...

Shawncube · 08-05-2009, 09:30 AM

Its not broken then.... its just a bad re-map or could be a number of simple things ie. plugs etc.

///Mike135i · 08-05-2009, 10:42 AM

Russ when you say its intermitant are there any other common factors when it happens. Is it really hot outside? Is the fuel always the same grade from the same garage etc etc.

It may not be the map as pointed out, could be a dodgy fuel pump? I know very little about these cars but I have read a number of times about a fuel pump issue with these cars on the stateside part of this forum, I am sure of it.

ru55 · 08-08-2009, 08:32 AM

Yeah ive heard of the fuel pump probs too...im waiting for a diagnostics test...

Does anyone know if I took it to BMW to do the test, would they find out its been re-maped?
