Is your 135i insanely fun to drive?

Xtian · 11-21-2011, 09:40 AM

I don't have many opportunities to drive this nimble beast, but it is insanely fun to drive.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Cheers,
Xtian

ksparks · 11-21-2011, 10:10 AM

yea, that's why most of drive one.

doublevanosrc · 11-21-2011, 10:33 AM

Trying not driving it for a day, when you get back into it it's Deja Vu all over again.

audimotion · 11-21-2011, 11:18 AM

Mine goes into storage in a week....then I will know what it is like to be without it for 4 months! The love affair will start all over in April....

ken1137 · 11-21-2011, 12:13 PM

Yes, as KSPARKS said "that's why most of drive one"

Although Winter tires go on next week so the fun will be dialed down a bit until April

Xtian · 11-21-2011, 01:01 PM

So all this fun is normal?

sparkyblue · 11-21-2011, 11:25 PM

I've been stuck in a 128i loaner for a full week now, while its being repaired for the half window-pop up & cruise control stalk rattle. I miss the power so much!

IS+1 · 11-24-2011, 02:16 PM

Yes

Big1 · 11-24-2011, 02:37 PM

Agreed hahaha

thez99 · 11-25-2011, 01:11 AM

Quite fun indeed sir, so much that at times I feel it necessary to let other less fun drivers know this as I wizz past their boring american-made dumbasses

Sir! Like you I feel compelled to share the 135i love with other drivers, it would be rude not to! Especially on the grid at The Traffic Light Grand Prix.

mBlesso · 11-27-2011, 08:56 PM

Yes.

Sylon · 11-27-2011, 09:06 PM

Always.

anttmann · 11-27-2011, 09:09 PM

Wakka · 11-27-2011, 09:56 PM

Maybe we should start a web site and call it 1Addicts or something.

jonnyrocket · 11-28-2011, 04:01 PM

I don't know if nimble is the best word for it, but it is insanely fun to drive. I do love to spool turbos and make boost.

IZAGLO · 11-28-2011, 04:21 PM

2 years of ownership and my car is like a fine wine.....it's keeps getting better..Today(my day off) with 57=59 temps, no one on the road(everyone's at work) for a monday morning afternoon drive, the 1 was a beast. Since putting on the JB4 over a year ago and now being able to put the power down with the AD08's this car is gripping and pushing me back in the seat at will. DOWN LOW in the rpm's and not hitting more than 10psi. and handling so nice for "street" driving..I could not ask for more...it felt so quick today ..the JB4 is amazing.

BrokenVert · 11-28-2011, 04:25 PM

I havent driven my car in 3 months...and I wont get to drive her for another 6

My car currently has 70K miles on it, is 3 years old, out of warranty, and will cost me no less than 4 grand in maintenance the day I get from England.

But goddammit I love that thing.
