"One-Three-Five" or "One-Thirty-Five"?
I've always called my car a "one-thirty-five-i". I'd never heard it called a "one-three-five-i" until I saw people referring to it that way in another thread here (T-shirt thread). And some of them say they've never heard it pronounced my way. So I'm curious - what do you call it?
And, BTW - your vote will be public, so we can ridicule you if we don't like your answer.

I may be wrong but I think the Brits tend to spell it out number by number.
Case in point:

Ditto on the one thirty five. Actually never heard anyone say one three five until reading a T-shirt post recently.
To each their own..

Yeah it seems the Brits call out each number and here in the US we call out series number followed by a double digit number.

I reckon "One Thirty Five" is an American thing. In both the UK and Oz I've only every heard "One Three Five", "Three Three Five" etc...

I call her Felony.
The e46 is Miss Demeanor. Failing that, I call it the 1-series, the 1, or the 1 thirty-five.
