Awesome vid! Are you still running it in? It sounds like you weren't hitting full revs yet

How loud is it when generally accelerating around town, not really hard acceleration?

One thing I've been wondering.

You can leave the auto box in D or move it left into Sports mode with higher shift points.

Or you can leave it in D then select Sport or Sport+ on the drive control. This also alters shift points.

Or I suppose you could have the box in sports mode and then switch between eco-pro, comfort, sport, sport+.

So my question is how do the shift points compare? For example when driving in "Comfort" with the box selector in Sport are the shift points the same as driving in "Sport" with the box selector in Drive.

Cheers
Lee

Big Congrats on your M135i

The sound is great, could you do another run, this time in a tunnel.

I imagine they are the same, bit if I am in sport I dont like the way it hangs onto gears so end up in Manual or back in drive quick.

Are the side bolsters on the seats useful for when cornering hard, or is it like they don't exist?

Seriously CSL like sound, definitely better than a stock 1M and imo better still than a 1M with N55 mid pipes. Absolutely no need for an aftermarket exhaust for this car

I ordered the car late Sep, and I was told production is delayed from Nov to Jan. It will be Mar the earliest by the time it gets to my car park. This shows how nice BMW is treating it's customers in Hong Kong.

I'm also from HK. Think I might be one of the earlier ones to order the M135i, so I'll be getting mine middle of next week. Can't wait.

Sales said any price changes should not affect me, since the original planned production was in 2012, and it is not me that ask for the delay.
