Picked up the car yesterday and am very impressed with it. Will add a bit of a review once I have used the car a bit more.

So lovely...for a car with the steering on the wrong side. :-)

Congrats!

WHOA!!! Would definitely trade my 335is for that in a heartbeat.

M3_WC · 09-28-2012, 03:45 PM

Why do brands purposely make certain cars they sell look goofy?

This things looks too goofy to fit in the hot hatch category.

Imola.ZHP · 09-28-2012, 03:51 PM

Congrats! Please bring these to the States BMW!

kgroschi · 09-28-2012, 03:53 PM

Congrats. The car looks great. But why is the steering wheel on the wrong side?

Youngen · 09-28-2012, 04:27 PM

I think this is a great little car, extremely capable. Congratulations, enjoy it!

So capable, and so much potential...

Diver · 09-28-2012, 05:06 PM

I have this funny feeling that the only way to get a 6 in the 235i when it gets to the states will be as an M235i.

Pentium · 09-28-2012, 06:24 PM

Great car and great color!
love it a lot!
and you seems to like hot hatches so will enjoy it to the max!

Dackelone · 09-28-2012, 07:13 PM

Looking GOOD! LOVE that MCB color.

Q: Are your Michelin's RFT (RDC) or regular tires? I understand that these M135i's do not get RFT tires. ?

Lee22 · 09-28-2012, 07:14 PM

sweet color, its a great bonus that your brake calipers match the car.

also, what does this car weigh?

positiveions · 09-28-2012, 08:14 PM

congrats. looks really good

AGAV13 · 09-28-2012, 08:29 PM

Very nice, congratulations. I wish the 135i m-sport or 135is had the same front bumper. It annoys me that its the same bumper on all 135's.

one_driver · 09-28-2012, 08:38 PM

so jealous....congrats man! I wish BMW would bring that stateside.

Love it. Nice choice.

wolz · 09-28-2012, 10:23 PM

Nice one m8, i'm just amazed by the bang for the buck on this car. Nothing compares really. Just crazy, even at stock... Later on with a tune it's just insane

1'M Blue · 09-29-2012, 12:39 AM

About 1,450kg's (excluding sat nav, sun roof etc) - approx 100kg's less than the 1 series coupe. Hence the 0.2 sec increase (manual) in 0-100 km p/h times, although the M135i has a slight power increase too which helps a little. Definately moving in the right direction.

I was going to suggest a rear wiper delete mod but living in the UK, you need it!
