I'm 46 but most people think I am 35-38. Not fat, grey, etc.

I was considering the new 2009 Acura TL supposed to be AWD. I will probably get a 135i manual sport next Feb 09. By then the new Acura will be out. The problem with the TL is I don't think they will offer a manual with AWD. And I heard the engine will be 300+ HP, but without a manual and more weight, I think I won't want one. The next car I get must handle great, do 0-60 in 5.5 or less, and look great. SO FAR the 135i fits the bill perfectly except all the problems with overheating, runflat tire bullshit, fuel pumps, and sometimes having to wait 2-8 weeks for parts from Germany.

I was also considering the G37 S but the torque is not very good. And I like the looks of the 135i much better. I really don't need all the bells and whistles. I won't buy any other German car, just BMW.

I'm 27 here. This will be my first bmw, first luxury car, first sports car, first RWD car, first turbo-powered car, and the first car I've bought with my fiance. Hence the personalized plates I already have that reads, RFIRST1

Being that we never plan on having kids, this car is by no means a stretch for us. Our honeymoon will be spent driving our new 1er around Europe.

Well, I suppose I will ad myself to the list of youngsters on this...23 with a 135 on the way. Fingers crossed for the end of the month (or better) for pick up.

I turn 37 next week, but I can pass for 20. I was asked for my ID when I ordered a drink at my buddy's 40th last week! And this was a scotch at the Capital Grille, not a pitcher of Pabst at a local college bar! This is only my second new car, but it is my first (and second:biggrin turbo. Also, my first vehicle with 4 wheels that can reach warp speed by the end of the on-ramp......

Cracka,
I had a feeling that was coming, but you were particularly quick on the draw...

I'm 30, the 135i is the first car that motivated me to part with my 2000 328ci.

I'm 23 and a believer in the Bimmer. Drove an E46 M3 for a couple years and am getting the 135 because I think it is a true driver's car and will be an absolute blast.

I'll say it again but I'm glad there is a good age range of owners... I had a feeling it was going to be like he GTI croud just a little too young and to show off... I got very tired of hearing my GTI beat a M3, 911, etc...

44 , former Marine and looking forward to my first BMW. My current car is a 06 MkV GTI, nothing wrong with it but looking to step up.

Probably won't look to get into the 1er until spring/summer 09.
