I believe each of us is allowed 3 truthful posts per month. The other folks here must have exceeded their truthful allotment, so they get to talk about how wonderful the 1 Series is. I only have 1 truthful post remaining in June. Luckily, it is almost the end of the month.

Replying to: tagman (Jun 21, 2008 6:17 am) I started to reply earlier and the post went off into cyberland somewhere. If it happens to appear, please forgive me for repeating myself. I have configured a 135i about 5 times and ended up not choosing a single option. The sports package seems like an obvious choice, but the standard seats appear to be well bolstered. The shadowline trim is nice, but for 1,100 clams I can do without that. I guess I should sit in one and/or drive one the next time I am at the dealers instead of just looking at them. I think they are a little homely looking, but that's not something I base my car buying on - color either as long as it isn't blue. The wife likes heated seats so maybe I'll choose that. Whatever it takes to make her happy. Just curious - did you choose many options or just go "bare bones"? The 135i seems to have all the goodies already included. I've waited so long now I guess I might as well wait for the '09s to come out.

Replying to: venture (Jun 24, 2008 7:41 pm) I have a fairly loaded 135i Coupe, but I am trading it in for the 135i convertible which I've had on order for months. It is ready in a few more days and I am excited as hell. It is imperative that you order the Sport Package in order to get the Sport seats. I and others have made that error, and regreted it. Fortunately, I am able to get the Sports seats when I re-ordered the car as a convertible. If you have any doubts about this, you should ask me about it. BTW, Mr. Hpowder's posts are some of his most ridiculous posts he has made in a long time. He obviously does not like the 1-Series so he picks and chooses the few unusual sources of information to support his dislike. In actual fact, while Edmunds does not have an abundance of 1-Series owners yet, it is pretty obvious that the car has just been released for sale only a few months ago. There is a dedicated website to the 1-Series that has a monstrous membership roster. So any idea that I am a lone owner is incorrect and pointless. I agree that there aren't many 1-Series owners yet on this website, but that will change. Also, hpowder's reference to a couple of negative reviews does not in any way diminish the multitude of positive and complimentary reviews. Few cars have EVER been so praised as the 1-Series. The 3-Series is a great car. But it is not the BMW entry vehicle any more. So there is obvious sibling rivalry and jealousy. It makes no difference... the 1-Series outperforms the 3-Series. All the talk in the world can't change that. BTW, I will likely buy my wife a 335i convertible to go alongside my 135i convertible. The 1-Series is more of a man's car and the 335i hardtop convertible will be perfect for her, as the 3-Series is perfect for a female, with it's graceful and softer lines. Since the 3er is about to get a refresh, we will wait for the '09 model. TM |
