Goodbye 1er

510135 · 12-14-2013, 04:03 PM

Hello guys,
After two years of ownership I have sold my 135i and bought a 4 series. I was simply blown away with the styling and tech in this car. It's a completely different car to my 135i.

Anyway here is a pic the day I bought it from the showroom floor.
428i Msport fully loaded

Congrats on the new car Nick. You're 135i looked and sounded tough. Keen to see what you have planned for the 428i.

Thanks Vinney!

The new 428 looks great Nick, very nice car and colour combo (shoulda went superman lol).

Your 1 er certainly looked the part, I wait patiently for your 4er mods to be put in place.

Congrats!

Nice car and color. What made you choose a 428i over a 435i?

Lol Price. Couldn't stretch the extra 20+k for the 35i. Besides I haven't driven my 135i hard in a long time. Mainly work etc.

Edit , just saw you are from canada. We pay a lot more for bmws than you guys

P1 · 12-14-2013, 08:05 PM

Excellent choice, I would not think twice either.

Dumb question - I know - I thought money could have been the reason. I cant afford a new one, and even if I could, I dont think I would. I always bought my BMW used, and the longest I kept them for was 3 years.

I test drove both the 428i and 435i at a local BMW driving event. The 428i still packs a decent punch for a 4-cylinder.
The base 435i goes for $10,000CAD more than the base 428i.

I'm still in run in period at the moment. I was impressed with the demo I drove. At the end of the day it's a 4cylinder. It won't be as quick as a modded n54 ever. But i feel as though the ride (comfort), styling and build quality leaves the 1er for dead.
It certainly turns heads.
