a month, whether we need it or not. Pretty dead board for what's supposed to be the "entry-level" bimmer.

| Make sure you get this option. You get full iPod/USB integration. It comes with a special cable to plug in your iPod and of course you get full integration. Americans get the cable included but Canadians don't get the cable. They could probably purchase it in the US for cheaper than what they charge. | |

I doubt I see more than one i-Series coupe per month out on the roads. They're almost as rare as the late lamented 3i8ti. Since they have come out I have seen perhaps two of the convertibles. Anyone other than owners or dealership employees seeing these much?

The 135i got a great write up in ROUNDEL this month. The DINAN 135i looks like a yummy ride too

Replying to: dborla01 (Feb 10, 2009 9:20 pm) Have to disagree about the 3 series, though. One reason I chose the 1 series is because it looks better in the flesh/sheet metal, although it's not as photogenic as the 3. Also, have to disagree about the bland interior. I have coral red leather in mine, with black trim. Nothing bland, here! However, I have to agree about the better price. What a bargain for a beautiful car that can give you a 60mph rush in about 5 seconds, or so! Yeeha! |

Replying to: andys120 (Mar 12, 2009 4:44 pm)   Okay. I just read the last two pages of this forum and agree it needs to be livened up. I live in the SF Bay Area and have only seen only two other 1 series, both convertibles. I have yet to see any coupes outside the showrooms. After two years of researching and agonizing over too many marques and models I recently bought a Sparkling Graphite, Coral Red/Black interior, 135i convertible. It came from the dealer with every stinking option. The car is absolutely gorgeous and dazzling, the handling and speed are exhilirating and breathtaking and the sound of the engine is sweet music. Almost 6,000 miles later, this is undoubtedly the perfect car for me ( except for the cup holders). I find myself grinning like the Cheschire Cat every so often, with my foot on the accelerator or while waiting for a light to turn. It's quite remarkable.

Replying to: davidc1 (Apr 06, 2009 7:37 am) I've seen two black convertible 128's with the coral red and black boston leather. It looks much better in actuality than in photos. You should definitely go with this color interior. It really gives the car an extra wow factor with the top down! I still have not seen another 135i convertible. I did see a 130i in Half Moon Bay. Must have been an overseas delivery. You could look around for left over 08's. I see them on Auto Trader, still. They are discounting them at least $6000 off MSRP, here in the Bay Area. However, there are no financing deals from BMW on 08's, as far as I know. If you shop around on your own, I'm pretty sure the financing department at the dealership will try to beat whatever financing you may have lined up. Good luck and let us know what you end up getting! |
