Off to BMW

It's been a good run here but you can't argue with that new twin turbo setup in the 135i. Just swung a sick deal on a used on. The suspensions alot tighter then the 335i, more like the evo. Have to do some CSL rims so t doesn't look like such a chick car. The interiors pretty sweet too,not as good as the 3's but I'd rather pocket the extra dough.

Had a 335i and a 135i.
The suspension on the 135i is nothing like the Evo. The Evo is much more track ready. The BMW engine, interior, and fit & finish are a lot nicer, though. But the 1 was the lose in the handling game.

Enjoy it, its one heck of a car.

You should just get the Dinon (sp?) for it too. I think it's suppose to give it another 100 horses.

Yeah, evos more of a track but I need a fast daily and I want some luxury. Those folding side mirrors are sweet and the power leathers are comfy, perfect for my sore hemrhoids, LOL!!!

But seriously, you cannot argue with a twin turbo 6 cylinder or your def fanboi material. Still love the evo and my dads Z06 is incredible, they're all cool, ya know.

Eh I think the 1 looks like bubble head chicks car but to each his own. You'll miss the rawness of the Evo in a few months to, I'd put money on it.

The 135i is a heck of a car, I had a 335i back in 07, I was one of the first people to break in the 12s and for a while got the third faster times until all the new vendors started releasing their software, remember, I already had my Vihnsu software before I even got my car, is that crazy or what?

The 135i is a win to win situation, no matter how you look at it it is a pure breed winner. Great quality, great engine, best transmission on its class(Steptronic) by the way, I highly suggest steptronic.

You can now get 400 whp and 400lb-tq with silly mods(turbo back, terry burguer JB3, air filters and a couple of galons of race fuel. 135is are now trapping in the 120's still on stock turbos and minimal mods.

Enjoy your mini monster german muscle car!

Carlos

1 guy went from X to 135, back to X.... perhaps you will like the car more than he did. I like it personally... never drove one though.. i'd like the 335d, 36 mpg is good... but sadly I don't have 44 grand.
