I recently installed the SSTT and replaced my BMS Intake with the stock filter... one of the hardest things I have EVER done... my hands were shredded.

The stock filter is so hard to replace, I am dreading removing the SSTT prior to service

Hi All,

I'm new on here and just ordered a 135 this week for March delivery from the lovely people at Park Lane (they offered the best discount :w00t

Hopefully see some of you around on the roads, I don't know if anyone else on here is from the Gloucestershire area?

Anyway hope the next month or so goes by quickly as I can't wait to take delivery :biggrin::biggrin:

Cheers,
Jamie.

I'm thinking about ordering a new coupe soon, would you be able to say what % discount you got ?!

JBizzle135i · 01-18-2009, 02:20 AM

I got 10% off but it was through there military sales scheme. Still might be worth seeing what they can oiffer you.

I initially went to my local dealer and booked a test drive in a 135i when I turned up they gave me the keys to a 123d

and I couldn't get them to shift on price at all the only thing they would throw in was the paint protection... I promptly walked out and started looking again which was when I saw I was entitled to the above discount. :drinking:

nickc · 01-18-2009, 05:50 AM

i got 20% discount

JBizzle135i · 01-18-2009, 09:29 AM

Was that on the military scheme too? Am I getting screwed or is it model dependant?

Hi Guys just saying hello.
I have M5 2008 and 135i 2008, both Sapphire Black

Bob W · 03-01-2009, 08:53 AM

Just got a 2nd hand 120d, '54 - it came fully loaded with lots of nice extras.
I'm trying to get the "Perspective View" working on the Professional Nav (iDrive). I know that it can do it 'cos I've seen some photos. I've upgraded to 2008-1 map disk.
Any ideas?

Si-M240i · 03-02-2009, 02:51 AM

I've had my 135i about 7 months now and my signature below shows the mods so far. I have 7500 miles covered now and it took about 5000 before it "woke up" properly.

Hi, just picked up a Sparkling Graphite (58 plate) 135i myself. Love it!

ab2pcs · 06-22-2009, 10:37 AM

Hi all here are a couple of photograhs of my new AW 120D M sport coupe.

///Mike135i · 06-25-2009, 06:17 AM

Hi all, I ordered a 135i last weekend and I am currently like a child waiting for Christmas. I have been a member of e36coupe.com (now bmwowner.com) since 2004 but given my new purchase I am sure there will be far more activity surrounding the E82 on here.

For those that might be interested in my new car, spec is below:

E82 135i M Sport Coupe

Alpine White
Black Boston Leather
18" Double-spoke style 261M alloy wheels
Ext. mirrors - folding, auto dimming for reverse park
Seat heating
Brushed aluminium trim with accent
Headlight wash
Xenon headlights with LED rears
Cruise control
Navigation Professionall with 80GB hard drive and HD screen
BMW ConntectedDrive - Assist
BMW ConntectedDrive - Online
Voice Control
Bluetooth phone prep + telematics
Loudspeaker system - LOGIC7 Professional with surround sound and subs under front seats
M Steering wheel with controls
High gloss showline exterior trim
Headlining Anthracite

BMW Performance Carbon rear spoiler and BMW Performance exhaust will be added upon delivery by the dealer.

Mike

It certainly will be different mate! Can't wait to see it in the metal

First day drive it round to ours like I have always done when I get a new car! Oh...and check your typing git!

M type r??? WTF!!! Arse!

Hi All,
Had mine 3 months ish, 135i Sed Red, Loaded with toys, 365bhp remap from celtic tuning

Lopster · 09-18-2009, 08:43 AM

I'm taking delivery of a Space Grey / Coral Red 125i MSport AT end of October from Stevenage. They were pretty good on price but pretty poor on pinning down a delivery date as it's been put back twice. Admittedly I changed a couple of things after ordering but they told me it wouldn't affect the date, then it did. I daren't even ring them now in case the date changes again.

It took me a whole week and 2000 pics to decide to revert to shadowline after changing it to chromeline. I initially thought the chromeline tied in with the alloys beautifully, but then seeing all the pics I concluded it made it look like an SE and not an M! Plus, there's the "street cred" factor my more clued up mate was telling me about, where less chrome == more cred.

Then the decision about Coral or Black interior took another week or so, and 3 trips to the showroom. At least they have free coffee and biscuits.

Can't wait to get it, and run it in over one weekend !

(by the way, I've owned a E36 320i for 12 years and still looks new, doesn't use up a single drip of oil between services, and loves to rev round to 6k on a weekly basis - my wife wanted to trade it in as scrap value!)

quaker_31 · 09-28-2009, 02:55 PM

Hey been a lurker for a year or so on e90, now Part X that for a 120d.

I got mine from Berry Chiswick in London. Great guy there.

Simple stuff really - 120d coupe in Sedonda Red with M Sport Package. Should come Late Nov.

I love driving - my brother lives in south west germany, so go to the Nurburg Ring every year or so; when i visit him.

Always prepared to make trips, so give me a shout if anyone is interested.
