Will get better pics later...spent the weekend getting acquainted (over 200 miles worth). This car is a blast! Had 3 (from 2002-now) 3-series BMWs, they were nice but wanted a change (and a bit more power!), this fit the bill nicely. So nimble and quick, I don't think I'll never go back to a 3-series...

So a 135 has more room that a 3 series? That doesn't make sense to me because I though the 1 series where the little guys and the 3 series small to mid sized cars. Please educate me.

Yours looks good from what we can see.

:skep: No, it doesn't have more room than a 3 (nor did I say that :) )...it is smaller and weighs about 200ish pounds lighter than a 3 series.

I've had 3 3-series BMWs and found that I don't need the extra room, and wanted something with more power, hence the move to the 1-series. :cheers:

Just read a review of the 135M. Sounds like tons of fun in a small package.
Have fun with it
