I live just outside of Boston and I have yet to see one on the road. My brother lives in Philly and he hasn't seen one either. I'll have to ask my parents, who live in NY, if they have seen one. I bet there are plenty around there.

rocketpop · 05-05-2008, 10:06 AM

I have not seen any in the Dallas/Plano/Mckinney area. Hell Crowley lives in Mckinney and I have not seen him either. (Mckinney is not very big)

Berduderunner · 05-05-2008, 10:11 AM

I also live in tampa and havnt seen one at all! I drive 40 miles everyday also!

roldan · 05-05-2008, 10:18 AM

I've seen a 128 vert on the road on Storrow Drive in Boston, which was shocking to me. I was walking along the side of the road with friends and my head shot around as it went past. "Hey, that's a 1 series!"

"What?"

Heh..

Not until today. Saw a black 135 on my commute to San Jose. It was in the carpool lane and I could only see 1 person in it. Beautiful car - looked like aftermarket wheels.

Joraq · 05-05-2008, 10:34 AM

I have not seen 1 other than my own. I haven't even seen my twin, i.e. the car I was supposed to buy, around anywhere. It does freak me out when people tailgate to get a look though. I like the exclusivity, at least for now...

Not suprising. I see 1-2 E92's a month, as coupes are rare here. Still haven't seen mikeo's 1er on the roads here.

AdamG1164 · 05-05-2008, 10:39 AM

I live in Tampa. I just picked up my 135 last weds. at Reeves BMW. I havent had much time to drive it, having put on about 50 miles, mainly commuting to work. However I must say it was worth the wait. I'll post a review after I've had time to open it up on the interstate.

Genericuser1 · 05-05-2008, 10:51 AM

Not a single one yet. Actually I have yet to see a 1 "in the metal" yet. Need to get over to a dealer and have a look.

Akien · 05-05-2008, 11:46 AM

Nope, haven't seen 'one' yet in neither Chicago or Cleveland.

After the weather got nicer, I have seen at least 1-2 e92 a day but no 1er.

I was about to say "hey! that was me!" but then I realized I haven't driven on Storrow in mine yet. I bet that was a test drive from Herb Chambers - that's probably the closest "highway" speed road they can do test drives on.

Who was your sales rep at Reeves? I wasn't impressed with the service. My sales rep never followed up with me while I was shopping. I ended up going through Fields BMW in Lakeland.

SlickShift · 05-05-2008, 01:38 PM

^ Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Reeves either although I bought my car there. We know a salesman so we get good deals, but the service department sucks.

AdamG1164 - Maybe I'll see your car around town. I go to UT and take the Veteran's a lot.

M3_Dust · 05-05-2008, 02:13 PM

I have not seen one outside of the dealer yet.

lacrosse · 05-05-2008, 02:23 PM

None yet but I know there are a few out there. Actually, seeing one would only make the wait that much harder.

golfinaz · 05-05-2008, 03:02 PM

Still haven't seen one out here in Tucson...been up to Phx/Scottsdale and none there either.

Oh, good call.. could have been that. It was jet black with a lemon interior, I think -- didn't see if it had dealer plates or not.

Saw my first today :headbang: Black going the opposite way on Manhattan bch blvd. near El Camino... wonder if it was someone on here
