Finally...my M135i Ordered ... and it HAS arrived!!
Hello everyone! I’ve been hovering around the forum for quite a while and finally I’ve put in my order for an F20 M135i. A little bit about myself, I’m a mechanical engineer living in Saudi Arabia and I’m from Lebanon. I absolutely love cars and it took me a good 5-6 months before I decided on the M135i. I went from 370Z to Scirocco R to C250 coupe to 135i coupe and finally decided on the M135i. So a big HOT hello to everyone on the forum and warm thanks for helping me decide on the car!
I believe it is common to say the specs of the car, so here’s what I ordered: Exterior: Estoril Blue Interior: Coral Red Dakota Leather Trim: Black Highlight Gloss with Aluminium Hexagon Sport Auto. Transmission Adaptive M Running Gear Alarm System Comfort Access System Rear View Camera Electrical Glass Roof Interior & Exterior Anti-Dazzling Mirrors Electrical Seat Adjustment with Driver Memory Lumbar Support for Driver and Passenger Storage Compartment Package Headlight Washer System PDC (Front & Rear) Rain Sensor + Automatic Headlights Xenon Headlights Adaptive Headlights Automatic Air-Conditioning Dynamic Cruise Control Lights Package Lane Departure Warning High Beam Assistance Front Passenger Airbag Deactivation Rear Headrests Folding Navigation Professional Harmon Kardon Hi Fi Instrument Cluster with Extended Contents Smokers Package My dealer says the car should be ready in a couple of months, but I'm not too buzzed by the wait time because I've got a lot to keep me busy till then! Other cool facts: This will be the first M135i in Jeddah and they're going to launch the model with my car, which means it'll spend some time in the showroom I have to give a special thanks to both AusF20 and Zj for their priceless contributions to a previous post of mine, alas, I tried my best to get the F21 but it just didn't work out and I'm content on the F20 guys. I'll revive the post when the car arrives Update Finally, the car has arrived! I have been waiting seven months for this baby to arrive and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it in front of me. I've taken some quick photos for you to see, I have yet to see photos of the same colour combo. Many people won't like it, but I'm ecstatic about it and it looks gorgeous. I got it tinted since these photos were taken and hopefully pick this Thursday P.S. Sorry for the poor quality photos. Last edited by HasanK; 04-29-2013 at 06:48 AM.. Reason: Added Car Photos! |

Congrats HasanK, welcome to the BMW 1er family of friends
I am please that all of us on the forum were able to provide you with valuable advice on your selection. It is 'King' when it comes to the inclusions. Just heard from my dealer, I will be getting my F20 EB in a few days time I plan to be in RSA again around Feb 2013, so I might get to see yours in the Jedda showroom or getting around the streets |

Indeed! A fitting colour combo/name for a great car I hope
Thanks mate! I first thought the wait wouldn't bug me, but it's beginning to get to me and it's only been a couple of days! |

So, after hearing and seeing lots of people receive their M135i's (big congrats btw ), I got a blow from the dealer telling me that they could not get apply for production in November, December or January. The soonest would be in February or March.
I opted to go for March since I'd get the new iDrive system. That means my car will probably arrive end of April 2013 as a 2014 model. I think I earned the longest wait on the forum, I put in the downpayment on 24th September => if I do manage to get the car in April, that's a 7 month wait. *sigh*

I placed deposit in Oct, seems the earliest I can get mine will be Mar/13 or even April or May (I don't think dealer in Hong Kong would be able to fight for production quota) Good luck!

Yeah there is, it was featured on bimmerpost a while ago. Here's the link: http://www.bimmerpost.com/tag/bmw-idrive-touch/
All you need to know Haha good luck to you too! The only plus that I can make out of it is the new iDrive system, which is worth the wait IMO.

Hello everyone! Just thought I'd update all those who remember this post that I've finally gotten a production date! Week beginning March 11. I'm ecstatic, after 5 months, I was starting to feel like it was never going to happen anymore.
Another month and a half wait from now

Congrats on the car. This is my first post def more to come. Like you I had a hard time picking the m135i as my next car. I currently own a abt scirocco. Oh one more thing it will be the first one in Lebanon but here it only comes with x drive, and a 2 month waiting period and as you know a massively high price tag due
to taxes etc etc. Just wanted to tell you congrats Allah yib3ad el darbet hahaha |

Ya ahlan!! Dude, I feel your pain. But a 2 month wait isn't that bad, by the time I get my car, it'll have been a 7 month wait!!!
How much is it costing you there? It's bloody expensive here relative to Saudi (around $60K), in leb I'm assuming its goin to be 80-90!? Mabrouk salaf if you're the first! Definitely gonna stand out, maybe one day I'll take mine to Lebanon

Yeah, the price 60K is for the options I listed above, almost all minus the heated seats (don't need them here!) and the speed limit detection (I doubt it'll read Arabic numbers haha).
Still waiting! If you get yours we'll be receiving them in the same month I believe (April) Performance parts.... I've given it thought and I don't think I'll buy them. They're only cosmetic and on the long run I'll get bored of the toys. Oh and FYI, fully loaded Golf R here is less than 50K. My brother has one
