[AUS] Early 1addicts members

woosh · 06-08-2017, 07:53 PM

Thought it'd be interesting to see what the members from 2008-2012 are driving now

Are any of you guys still around?

RadiuM · 06-08-2017, 08:36 PM

Still got mine from when I bought it new in 2009. Still a great car.

dh58 · 06-08-2017, 10:21 PM

Sold my 1st 135i.. Went overseas for work..

Came back and looked around for a new car.. regretted it.. Bought another low KM 135i.. #highlymodified

Blader · 06-08-2017, 10:47 PM

I went to a 2013 Lotus Elise S and then to a 2016 Lotus Exige CR.

Both have been have been daily drivers and have seen at least 15 track days a year.

Not as comfortable as the BMW as a daily but way cheaper to run on the track and always delivers an awesome drive.

Nugget · 06-08-2017, 11:40 PM

Since I sold my 135i I've had

Renault Megane 275 Trophy R- sold after 6 months, couldn't get on with FWD and needed something with more than two fixed back bucket seats for impending first child.

So bought E36 M3 track car. My favourite car ever.

doing it's thing

and e90 M3 daily

E90 engine ate it's bearings. Just finishing up swapping in a replacement engine, then will offload.

Waiting on delivery of a M140i Performance Edition.
Grey, manual, LSD, exhaust etc.

Passing me in limp mode no less.... Lol.

Looks like it turns into corners way better than the 135's, expected. But when I was behind you I was surprised out how well it got out of corners as well. Going to be awesome with the new motor.

Simonnn · 06-09-2017, 10:07 PM

I bought my first 135i in 2012 then sold it early 2015.

.. Bought another one in late 2015 and still driving it now :P

UR25IO · 06-09-2017, 10:39 PM

Not sure if i was and early member but,
Currant still have my 2011 135i N55 DCT.
heavily modded with PURE Stage 2 turbo.
I used it as daily with now 156000kms lol
bought the car with 1500km LOL

Alpha Trion · 06-10-2017, 05:26 PM

still have mine since brand new in 08.

just bought a c43 AMG.. now that the mrs drives that more, i get to mod the shit out of my 135

NPVPositive · 06-10-2017, 11:13 PM

Still driving the 1M as a daily. Part of me is bored and ready for a change, but then I keep thinking I'll regret it if I sell the car. And what would I replace it with?

Couple of potential daily drivers for the future: Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, Renault Alpine, Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo.

I also suspect that 1M prices have finally bottomed out in Aus and may be heading up so really the smart thing would be to just keep it.

Few hundred kilos less weight helps in the corners.
For reference my old 135i was 20kmh higher on the back straight, but only half a second faster.
Yours will be a beast with a well sized single.

Prodigy. · 06-11-2017, 08:09 AM

Sold the 135i early 2016 and have owned my M2 now for just over a year...loving it.

Yeah, his 2008 MT e92 M3 still only has 47k on the odo 😔. Bloody drive the thing!!!
The e30 325is on the other hand - 380k and going strong.

hummel · 06-18-2017, 09:56 PM

Never been a big poster but I never did get that 135i...

Back when I joined I had a VW Polo Gti mildy worked.. I miss that that thing.

Then I had a VE SS ute for work... yuk

Now in a 2015 M135i which has been serving me well.

Sometimes I toy with the idea of getting a 135i for the wifey so I can mod the crap out of it and then my rational mindset says keep the money in the bank.
