You have the same problem my buddy has.

In the last 2 years he has had and modded a 350z, Camaro SS, 2011 WRX and now in a 2012 5.0 mustang. You guys should start a support group. Lol

Why did you get rid of the 135i? I like all the cars you have owned, just wondering.

Also, I am selling some 370z parts for my best friend who sold his a while ago. Here is the thread I made, let me know if you want any of it and I'll do better prices for you as a former Evo dude.

Yeah no kidding, if I wasn't going to lose so much, I'd trade in my Trailblazer SS for a crewmax Tundra.

I will check out the parts but to be honest, I am "trying" to hold out until next winter once race season is over.

135i was nice.....great power even stock. But an open diff? Thought I could live with it but the first spirited run showed me otherwise. Yes I could have bought one, but for over 40k and voided my warranty. But I would think any rwd performance oriented car should come with it.

The open diff was the deciding factor, the other little things were in the back of my thoughts but didn't make me get rid of it. Back seats are useless, getting in and out of it to put a baby seat back there? Better not be a hot day, you will be sweating your @ss off by the time you were done.

hitemp warnings shut off factory stereo when heat is on full blast, heated seat came on at random times, both of these the dealer cant duplicate. Even though i had a phone pic of the hi temp warning on the stereo.

Paint......and here we thought EVO's had bad paint? I didnt get the small rock chips like on the EVO, I got the huge rock chips. Seriously each one about a centimeter wide. I do not follow traffic closely either. I put 70k+ on my stock EVO IX clutch and 50k+ on my EVO stock clutch.....even with road course days to show how easy I am on the car.

One big thing......when I think of BMW, I picture nice wide, big lip of extremely concave wheels. Not possible with the 135i, just no clearance between fender and suspension. I am a wheel guy.....this will not cut it for me.

Apologies for my story book lol.
