F20 BMW M135i

[pangsterZ3]

Wait is killing me for my new car... I got rid of the F20 116D M Sport I had and then ordered an F20 M135i LCI in Mineral Grey with black leather and sports function gearbox (with paddles) plus a few other mods - was due in around now.. and then it was early January and now it's a confirmed delivery for the 8th February.. seems like I've been waiting AGES for this car..

Anyway - I realise that this isn't a car you get in the US (easily) so thought I'd share some pictures and specs:

Power: 322 bhp
Torque: 332 lb/ft
0-62 mph: 4.9 seconds (auto)
Top speed: 155 mph (limited)
MPG: no one cares!! LOL! (rumoured to be c35 mpg combined though)

Here's some pictures of what mine should look like when it arrives:



The pre LCI M135i was only one hundredths of a second slower going round the Top Gear track than the 1M (and the new LCI version has 10 bhp more than the pre LCI version and is rumoured to have had some suspension tweaks as well) - so is a very fast and capable car (in the right hands!):

Wow! That's gorgeous! Idon't know why they don't bring that over here. I think it would sell like hotcakes. (Um, or Oatcakes, maybe?)
I'd have to be put into a coma until it arrived...
Cheers!

thanks Craig! - yep really looking forward to it!.. I waited for the LCI coming out.. and now I've had to wait a couple of extra months!! LOL!.. I'm not the most patient person -even less so when we're down to one car at the minute and I HATE driving the C-Class!

took delivery of the new M135i LCI on Friday (4 miles on the clock) and needless to say that the weather has been pretty crap since!! - so haven't even broke the first 100 miles yet!! (currently on 99!!).. BUT I managed to get out for a bit of a blast today... a few pics of it (manky already and needs a proper clean!!) - probably should have taken some proper pics BEFORE I took it out with my DSLR in good light - but these crappy pics with my phone camera will need to do just now!

























Very impressed with it and it was definitely worth the wait!!
