Which 1 Series to purchase?
I've been looking for a coupe to replace my Miata. I've toyed with a couple of things (G 37, Cayman, Corvette, Elise - but She Who Must Be Obeyed will never put up with riding in an Elise) but haven't found the ideal device yet. The 135i may be it - the ~3200 lbs weight is a bit heavy for my tastes but the power is outstanding (and the Vishnu's PROcede is spot on perfect). I'm waiting to get a chance to drive it.
I fell in love the 2002 when I was a kid and have been puzzled why BMW has strayed from that. Bang for the buck on the 135i looks pretty good!! |

Good luck to those of you hoping to get the M sport package as apart of the deal stateside. BMW NA product planners aren't bright enough to make this an offering to us Bimmerphiles in the U.S. More likely than not, the M sport package will be apart of the accessories equipment offered for the 1er coupe/convertible. Bummer.

135i. The Blue 1.
I've already been to my dealer and let them know I want the first 1-er in my metro area. Done deal?...pretty much, yes. Once hard specs & prices are released I will be assigned an order number that basically allows me to get placed in line as I design the car...options, etc.. As I understand it the order # gets assigned a VIN# as it goes into production. When you get the VIN# there's no turning back...no changes can be made to the car. So I'm told by the dealer. btw...you can always back out and not accept the car once it arrives...for any reason. However, you've pissed a lot of people off!:biggrin: |

I've bought my Z4 coming off lease. I'll be holding the title in my hot hands by this time next week.
Long story...but it's a good $ deal and I have ecquity...ie, the pay-off price vs what it goes for on the market today. Yes, I've done the research and the #'s. I'll sell the Z4 as we get closer to the 1-er's N/A debut. |

btw atr, I notice you're close by...it will be a very different experience bargaining this time since Baron BMW was sold to a conglomerate out of Houston...this is their first experience with a premium brand - all the old salesmen are taking advantage of the know-nothing owners by absolutely racking the customers. Awful to watch these a-holes in action. I've already had "words" with a sales guy and the new sales manager. In this little city there's one dealership- it's them or the highway. |

Yes understand - fortunately there are options - I don't have to get the car in KC. I may test drive a couple of cars in KC - but I ain't buying one from Baron ; -).
BTW, you really in Brookside? I'm a member of a gang (Age & Treachery Racing - hence the atr) that meets at Sharp's every Saturday morning at 0800 for breakfast. |

Tell the Baron folks that you won't think twice about driving a couple of hours to visit with the folks at Joe Self BMW down here in Wichita.
