Hello. I am so pumped about the 135i - United Bimmer Community

Hello all. I am so excited about the new 135i coming out 3-22-08.
I was honored to see and sit in a new 135i at MWerks on 3-1-08.
The car was a 135i manual in Alpine White with black leather with aluminum trim. It had the sport package. The car was awesome and had the best seats I have ever sat in. I am planning on purchasing one in about 11 months. Alpine white, manual, black interior with gloss black trim, sport pkg. comfort access. I am not sure if the leather is worth $1450.

I hope to learn more about BMW's since I have always wanted one but never have. I had a 2007 Acura TL-S automatic. I bought the 2007 Civic Si sedan about 9 months later because I wanted a manual and figured it would hold me until I get the 135i. Jeff D. from Northern IL. USA

Joining to find tips on those little maintenance routines that never seem to be covered in the manuals or at BMW support.
Our 2002 325iT Wagon has been a dream with virtually no problems in 57K. It's the most reliable car ever owned, and folks mistake it as being brand new.
Unfortunately due to knee problems I cannot drive a manual, as clutching often causes severe pain.

thus it had to be an automatic.
We're anxiously awaiting the 1-series at the local dealer, unless the right Mega Lotto numbers hit, in which case we'll be looking at the M's or 5's

Really love the car in any type of driving (sans accidents, i.e.), and get a decent 27-29 MPG in open road travel, depending on terrain.
