Hi guys, I'm from Cambridge ontario,
I got a '08 135i white on red leather, "M" sport pack, stick....... I've named it the White Knight....lol.... I work in sales at BMW and can honestly say that the 135i is the most fun car to drive.
Edmonton here. Stock 1984 318i.

Hi Folks!
Just wanted to introduce myself as I picked up a used '04 645ci coupe earlier this week.
It's an automatic in silver with Dakota leather. I'm in the Mississauga Ontario area and was wondering if there are any good BMW service people I can be referred too. Does anybody have any history with this model? Is there anything I need to watch out for?
Now we just need for the snow to clear
Owner:
2008 Mazda CX-9
2009 Nissan GT-R
2014 Infiniti Q50S Hybrid AWD
2014 BMW 535d AWD

=============================
That car started life as a BMW Press Car. It was PDI'd by BMW Canada in Whitby, ON. It was then sent to the media, TSN's Motoring, The National Post, and a couple other Eastern media outlets hadt it. Before an Ontario winter, it was sent to BC for Global TV's Driving Television to sample it. After the Western media was done with it the car then was sent to Brian Jessel BMW to be reconditioned for sale. It was sold to a Vancouver resident then lease returned at the end of the lease. Bavaria BMW in Edmonton then brought it in. That's when I bought it. I bought it because A; I loved how my fiancee's car drove and B; it was the hottest looking 330Ci I had ever seen!
The car drove very well. It handled excellent, got amazing fuel economy, was quiet on the highway... BUT the seats were SO hard it was rediculous! It had the Buffalo leather, which for those of you who have felt it, is quite hard. I tried everything to soften it up but without any luck. You could make it to Leduc before you had to start shifting in the seat.
The VANOS noise was another issue. The ZHP M54 suffers from chronic VANOS noise due to the intake cam used. It was so loud that driving down a residential street, the sound would bounce off of the houses and cause people walking down the sidewalk to look up and stare. It was between the 2200-4000 RPM range. At 4000 RPM the car would shudder and stumble until 4200 RPM then start to pull. My fiancee's red 330Ci felt alot stronger. After a new VANOS unit and cam went in the noise went away for a while. It came back.
The electronics on this car were screwy too. The doors would lock and unlock themselves whenever they felt like it, the radio would change stations, the "subs" wouldn't turn on, the drivers side seat was intermittant, the rear defrost didn't work all the time....
Bavaria did fix everything though and did an EXCELLENT job but by the end of the summer I was so sick of this thing I was ready to buy anything. My back was killing me and I was fed up. I looked at a bunch of Mustang GT's, X3's, a Cayenne S, etc... Bavaria then got my 540i in on trade. The day the 540i came in I made my intentions clear and traded the"Spinal Assasin" as it became known off on the E39. I haven't looked back! The build quality of the E39 compared to the gray car is unreal! The build quality of the red car compared to the gray car is unreal too! It goes to show that even BMW can build a lemon! LMAO! After all, the car was built on a Friday! A guy from Calgary came up and bought the 330. I wish him better luck than I had!!!
