Should I order a new 1 series? I was thinking about getting a 2004 M3 certified with low miles. Should I wait and get a new 135i. Can you preorder them now at the dealerships. How much is a loaded 135i.
I haven't seen one if the flesh and that scares me a bit. Is there any in south FL yet that I could go and see?

 

No they wont be on sale till next summer... oh and I would go with the M3 love the 135 but the M3 is still hot

 

The M3 and 135i are very hot. From what I've heard, the pictures do not do the car justice. Join 1addicts to get all the info. They officially go on sale on March on next year. BUT, there will be demos and such at the dealers by January. Look out for magazine reviews within the next month. The car goes on sale through out the world in October/Nov.

Pricing for the 135i is more than likely going to be $35,000. Fully loaded could get you pretty high considering it will have almost EVERY option availabe to the 3 series.

The 135i comes standard with:

M-tuned suspension
Adaptive Bi-Xenons
M-body Kit
Sunfoof
6 Piston Brembo brakes

Either way you cant go wrong. I would go with the M3 for now.

 

Thanks for the input. I am hoping to get a certified M3, 2004, with max 35k miles on it. Not sure yet whether to get smg or 6 speed. My wife will be driving it sometimes so she wants to get the smg. I just don't know if it will be as much fun as the 6 speed. I am hoping to get one for around 35k.
Need to sell my 2002 325ci first and I am not having much luck

 

i would go with the 135i I think its a hot car and its new so you will be cover if something happens

 

I am purist when it comes to driving but you cannot beat the shear speed and fun of the SMG......

 

Something like this if I could get one for 35k:

for what it's worth,

Bmw's are great cars. that is until you run out of warranty. A good friend of mine had an M3. He absolutely loved the car. Just before it went out of warranty the alternator went bad. Of course BMW fixed it under warranty. I saw the bill.... 2500.00 to replace an alternator.

Shortly after that he sold the car cause even though he makes great money, hi didn't want to have to deal with the ridiculous serive charges for the car.

I would wait for the 135 and get rid of it before the warranty expires.

If I get a certified I should be good until 2010. What does that warrenty cover?
