Drove my 6er to the local dealers on Saturday...



Took this out for three hours...



Decided to PX the 6......



Ordered one of these...



Got sent home in this...

Very nice. I went to look at an M135i at Williams, rochdale last weekend. The M135i looks miles better in the flesh. I'm going to wait for prices on the CLA amg to be released before deciding on my next car.

Have you gone for silver? What options?

I couldn't agree more about seeing them in the metal. Photos don't show off the lines very well.

Spec..

3 door
Silver (still undecided)
Red leather
Auto
Adaptive dampers
Pro Nav
Electric seats
Smokers pack (only because I like the cover over the oddments tray)
Folding mirrors
Heated seats

Think that's it

Visibility pack standard?

[willhollin]

Wow that 6er didn't last long!

Good choice on the M135i though.

[Ste133]

It feels like yesterday when I was reading your thread on the 635!

The M135i is growing on me!! Enjoy.

No + £390 although part of it is auto lights and wipers which is standard anyway.

[xenon]

So are xenons standard? In other words, by not having visibility pack you're just missing out on adaptive and HBA?

Exactly that Ian. £390 buys HBA and adaptive.

[Kerr]

Good choice.

How long is the wait?

To be confirm early July.

Nice!!

I honestly never realised there was a 135i hatch, I thought it was limited to the coupe. Not sure I'd have chopped in a 635 for one though...

They are very different cars of course. I enjoyed driving the 635d and it is a lovely car.Mine had issue though and detracted from the driving please.

BTW I fancy a sliver one, although I have time to change

[Josh1a1h]

You may as well start collecting modding parts now haha

Nice purchase. Random going backwards from a 6 to a 1, but will be whole load more fun to drive.

Congrats you wont be disappointed...i went for the 116D due to the mega miles i do...but to get a feel had a test drive in one of the 135i which my dealer had and its very very powerful...you should definitely choose the visibility pack and retrofitting is expensive and this is the first time am having that and night driving is really nice with the xenons and its worth every single penny you pay for it...you will get the black panel display by default with pro nav...but check on the extended bluetooth functionality it was a mistake i made when misunderstood with the bluetooth functionality comes with the car by default as i didnt select nav and had to get the BMW y-cable....and you get non-run flats in the M135i...also opt for the sports auto to get the paddle shifts...

Jay. Xenon's are standard on the M135i. Are you saying you have adaptive and high beam assist?

[Cyprio]

I've been considering one of these myself, though the 5 door version rather than the 3 door.

I really need to get to a dealer to see one. I'm hoping they look better in the flesh, or at least the front end will - the side and rear look good.

I've narrowed it down to two cars - this or an Audi S4 avant, or saloon providing the seats fold down.

[jayakrishnanv]

Yes in the visibility package, it came with xenons, adaptive, high beam assistant, head light washer, rain sensor with auto headlight activation, rear view mirror auto-dimming.

Also if you plan to go for OEM black grilles do get it agreed with the salesperson to get it provided to you for free and get it fitted during PDI...i got it done of my own but had to take the front bumper off as its a pain unlike E9x or F30 front grilles...

Good advice, but it's not offered on the M135i like on Sport models. because I'd prefer the gloss black mirror caps over the grey.

[Apl440i or 335d?]

Good choice! Looking forward to reading your write up on it.

Very Nice, Enjoy
