My Last Week with my e90

eleven11 · 06-21-2010, 10:31 PM

So my e82 135i will likely be in my hands this Thursday or Friday, which I'm stoked about. However, on my way home tonight, I took my 2007 335i e90 the long way home, on a great set of twisties and "drove it like I stole it." I'll admit that I've been pretty tame with her recently. All stock.

Essentially, I just want to reiterate how amazing I think this car (and I'm hoping my 1 will be) is. This is my first "nice" car. Even after 3 years, tonight I, once again, giggled like a little school girl at the shear power and control I had as I destroyed the road. Amazing. That is all.

Your 135 will feel just as good, if not better, without the steptronic holding you back

The 135i is definitly more nimble. I had an E90 330i before my 135i. To be honest I liked the handling of the E90 better. Felt more planted/stable/less roll. Both are fun but definitly different.

hope this is true. if so my 135 purchase is right on for me. i love the edge of the smaller, lighter car in general. I think going from e46 to e82 is the right move, not to the e92.

the 135i will feel less heavy.
