135is delivered
I took delivery of my 135is on 8-21. I ordered it on 6-10 and it was ready at the dealer on 8-20.
It is everything that I expected (I ordered without test driving one). Mineral Grey, Oyster interior, premium pkg, heated seats and most importantly 6 speed manual. I love the steering, the suspension is stiff enough but much more comfortable than my Z4 35i, and seats are comfortable. This thing really does drive like a classic BMW. |

Ooh so jealous. I think it is going to take much longer to get mine. Do you know if yours was a new order or were they able to modify an existing one?

I ordered mine, so it was a new built for me. And yes it was a long wait, but I took a long vacation to distract myself from the wait

Good idea - wish I had time to vacation right now! I ordered mine on 7/14 and its not even on a boat yet so I doubt I'll have it within 2 months of ordering. Before Oct 1 would be really nice though...

I am waiting on my new lemans blue 135i to be shipped from New Hampshire to Tennessee in a dealer trade for me. Thank goodness I am not waiting 8 to 10 weeks this time like before. I can't wait. It is amazing that a Bama fan and a Vol fan such as myself can actually have similar tastes in something. Only joking.

I do like the Tide, but mostly because we like Saban in this household - he was the defensive coordinator for the Browns under Bellichek (before the move to Baltimore), so we've followed him along his varied and successful career path - can't argue with his results, that's for sure. If you're up in Knoxville, I think you should take your new baby down 129 then over to Telico Plains and give her a proper introduction to meet the TN roads. |

While the dragon is impressive, I actually prefer the fast sweepers of the skyway. I drove it last fall, mid week and had it essentially to myself - was spectacular with a clear road and the leaves changing. |

I'm also interested in this. Especially "how many 135is cars have been shipped to the USA?"

Sorry gents, we don't have that final answer just yet.....
BP and I ran into a VIN issue in that once we passed VY60899 on 9/26, the next one in sequence (60900) is an X1x25d built in April. This means they either shifted to another VIN sequence (which has been done 2x in the past), or that 60899 was the last and final one produced. We are waiting a couple weeks to see if a new sequence shows up in any of the W+W shipping documents before we call the 1 series production "done" As of 60899, there had been 609 "is" coupes total and BP had counted just under 300 verts. |

yep....and since the 1M was only built as a Coupe then if we just count Coupes then the 'is' is a rarer car; that being said, the issue with the 135is for future collectability is that it is more of a 'special package' than it is an entirely different model. It's basically an optimized version of a 135i....but i have a feeling they will still be desirable in the future----not to 1M standards by any means, but on a different scale compared to standard 135i models.
