New to the forum, Traded in my Benz (ML500) for a metalic megenta blue 2009 135i with M sport package, Automatic (none of my kids or wife can drive standard and my Jeep is a standard so I required at least one automatic in the household). Had it for a week now and am starting to finally appreciate the little rocket. Was having a bit of buyers remorse as I really wanted a Benz AMG c63 but that is no longer the case as I like the fuel economy, the quickness and agility of this little BMW. Even had the joy of spanking a little puke in a Acura with a fart tube exhaust today. It had to be done as he kept pushing me on and I really have a hate on for Jap crap cars so it gave me great pleasure. Figure a couple more days in my little car and I should be completely converted, Sorry Benz It is becoming inevitable.
Expected delivery May 2012

Greetings all! Very exited to be a BMW owner again (my last was an 1982 320I !)
Simply loving this amazing auto. I came from a 2008 Miata Grand Touring and am in awe of this amazing car.

Tomorrow we fly to Virginia to pick up a 2009 135i, auto. LeMans Blue with Grey leather interior. Sports seats. Now before anyone laughs, this car will be my wife's car. Mine is still a bit faster and it is a 6 speed manual not a BMW either. I am also working on an E36 LSX swap.
So we will drive it back over the Easter weekend. Never been to Virginia.
Looked all over US and Canada to find a 135, 2009 or later, leather, sports seats with low mileage and in a color my wife would like.
Whoops, got all the way here and car didn't have a power seat so my wife wouldn't have been able to drive it! Got our money back and was searching all over US and found another one 40 miles away at another dealer. This one has premium and M sports. This one a 2010, with fewer miles and more options for $1500 more! Same Blue but with Brown leather seats.
We had some issues cashing the cheque from the original dealer and had to go find a bank that had more than $30,000 cash to pay for the car. While we were in the bank a US navy plane crashed maybe 2 blocks away. That is the one on the news from Virginia beach. It is somewhat of a miracle that no one
was killed since it destroyed 3 apartment buildings.
On the road back now. Great gas mileage and comfortable driving. Have to be pretty careful not to speed.

Delivery is expected late May 2012: 6M, Deep Sea Blue with Terracotta Brown interior & light walnut trim,

I am really looking forward to it as the test drive was a total hoot (even thought the test car was saddled with a Steptronic). I also test drove the new 3-series that day, but could not stand the over boosted steering. It seems that the current generation 1 series is the last stand for great steering feel (my 2010, 6 MT A-4 has terrific weighted steering feel compared to the new 3 series - not quite as weighted as the 128, but in the neighborhood).

Hey, everybody. Not exactly new to the forum since I had a '99 M3 quite some time ago, but I've been out of the BMW world for quite some time and I'm glad to be back in it! I have a 2012 135i Coupe, 6MT, Jet Black with black leather interior, nav, BMW apps, etc. that's (hopefully) going to be here on Friday! Even though it was originally supposed to be here on Monday, I can't wait for my new car to get here!

Hi, I am in the club!
2007 118i Auto in Sliver
My 128i , manual deep sea blue, sport package. It's a blast to drive.
Well I'm kinda new here so bear with my lack of information.
11' 128i, All stock except for the black BMW rims,
Anyone have any good ideas as far as modifications go? I want simple, effective mods, right around the range of $500 and less. It will be my first mod, so any ideas??
And it's the sport package.Originally Posted by Dan31Man
