just ordered the new ship

Well after trading in my evo for an F-150 over a year ago; I'm finally back in the game. Today I ordered a 135i, and Im very excited to recieve it. Before choosing the BMW I test drove six cars; the x, sti, rs4, m3, isf, and the 1. The x was not up to par with my old evo, for it seemed reasonably slower. The sti was ok but i couldnt get over the unattractive appearence of the hatch. The audi and m were asmazing machines but The price was probally out of my ball park. The 1 was amazing (even though it was an auto convertable) fast, comfortable, great stopping power and looked amazing. just thought i'd share.

You got it!! I wouldn't drive the 6 speed manual over the steptronic. The steptronic is faster and get better gas mileage.

I think you got a heck of a deal my friend, I test drove both(the manual and the steptronic) and they are amaizing. I miss my 335i a whole lot.

Congrats on your purchase, you can't go wrong with that car.

Carlos
