Finally decided on next ride....

[Chips335d]

Hey guys,

After much confusion regarding what on earth could replace my beloved E92 335i, I have decided to order a 2011 135i coupe. This will be my 4th BMW. Retired cars : 2001 330Ci, 2004 ZHP 330i, 2007 335i.

2011 BMW 135i
Lemans Blue Metallic / Lemon Leather / Grey Poplar
M Sport Package
Convenience Package
Premium Package
Value Package
DCT Transmission
Navigation System
Harmon Kardon Surround Sound
Heated Front Seats
Satellite Radio
Smartphone
Automatic High Beams

MSRP is about $3000 less than a '10 model equipped the same.

Have never seen this color combo, but thought it would look gorgeous.

Planning on Performance Exhaust and Black Kidney's at delivery.

May can't come soon enough Can't freaking wait!

Congrats! That does sound like a nice color combo. May is light years away.

[scorcherjf]

Welcome! Cool color combo... never seen it myself either.

Oh and light years are a unit of distance =)

[BroDoze]

Good choice on the LeMans!

[BrokenVert]

Ive seen the Lemans/Lemon combo in pictures and from what ive seen it looks great.

I think that youll like the perf exhaust. Its a perfect compromise between everyday driveablity and awesome sound, ive had mine on for almost a year. Its awesome.

congrats!

where did you find the 2011 pricing? I would like to spec out "my next 1 series" for fun..

[elciddragon]

I have that exact combination! Well, at least the same logic. Its Lemans/Savannah Beige/Grey Poplar. I think its great and I like the two-tone interior with the Savannah Beige where the dash is black but the seats are the beige color.

[Noer]

That sounds nice. Congrats.

[Ash83]

Congrats... u will have fun with the DCT

Only when loaded up with options. BMW is giving a lot more in the new packages. The Value Package is free and includes Boston Leather and USB/iPod. Convenience Package groups Comfort Access, PDC & Alarm at reduced price. DCT is only $150.00 more than Steptronic and includes the new paddles. Premium Package is much much cheaper.

All my pricing was done at my dealer. You can find pricing on 1addicts. The BMW USA site should be updated soon. First 2011's are arriving in April I was told.




Thanks guys for all the positive comments. I'm really pumped to try out the new N55 and DCT.

And I'm in lust with Le Mans Blue

All my buddies are telling me I'm crazy and should of ordered a 335is, but I really think the 135i is a more entertaining drive than the current 3'ers. I still am madly in love with my current car and drool over the 335is but I want something more chuckable. And something different. And something unique. My loaded 135i MSRP is about 15 grand cheaper than a loaded 335is I spec'd out and the "is" just didn't seem worth it to me personally.

So after 3 3'ers, I'm joining the 1 community

Post pics the day the car arrives.
