BMW Performance suspension ?? Specialy designed for the 135 + warranty. Try to make a test drive before to be satisfied after.
In Belgium you can make this test drives at the Belux Importer - Bornem. Before I bought mine I did a test with a fully Performance equiped 135i.

Congrats on the new car.

Very interesting info. on the Auto box and the auto is something I never considered and was holding out for the DCT system to be available for the 135i if I decide to buy one.

I may consider the auto now. Do you know if it's also the same box as in the E87 130i?

Hi,

Thank you!
Yep, it's the same gearbox. But you need to test it because it is very possible that BMW tuned a bit the one on the 135, but I'm not sure

Hi Robmaster,

I'm live in Fribourg (speak french and english), where are you from?
I see you have corsa Linea wheels on your car. I considered these to replace the stock ones, are you happy with them?

Cheers.

Good to see another driver who tested both the AT and MT and went for the AT. I've been waiting a while and buyers remorse is starting to set in but i'm confident i made my choice for a reason.

That gearbox is really amazing, I love it. It's not like the VW DSG, you still feel the gears going up and down, which keeps you in contact with the engine ;-)

Cheers

Great pics - wow - just amazing - congrats - welcome !

My other car is a 2010 Taurus SHO which is an auto - sorry - but it's boring beyond belief *even with the "paddles"* LOL. Just no comparison. Great daily driver and family car of course. Get's tons of looks but just doesn't compare to the driving experience of my 135i stick.

Miami traffic can't be that bad - if it was - change location, jobs, whatever to get a stick. JMO

The stance is just perfect! Love the photo of it in the snow. The performance exhaust is awesome really brings the car up another level.

Which anti[sway bars did you finally fit, or did you just modify the HR?
PSS9 are no longer available on the 135, replaced by PSS10.

On my side I have the standard PSS, non adjustable. I've requested them to be modified because they were too soft, especially in high speed compression/rebound.
CDR_UK who's got an account here could give you more information about the PSS10, as he had them on his 135, suffered issues and finally fitted the KW Club Sport that he found much better.

I went for the H&R swaybars kit for the 135, front and rear, non adjustable. I did not modify them.

Cheers

I've always liked the Titanium Silver 1-series, it matches well w/ silver rims, the chrome window line, and the orange corners.
