Our new daily (passion bmw)
Wanted something that the wife could use and something a bit fun for the weekend. So 5 doors and a wolf in sheeps clothing. Finally decided on the M135i. 320bhp out of the box (although been known to produce 340+ out of the box). The book says 0/60mph in 4.9s but when tested by 5th gear and other people they seen as low as 4.4s. Motorway driving sees 45mpg and just knocking about sees on average 35mpg. Fully loaded with all the extras. Its £60 less to insure than our Leon FR Diesel. Makes a lovely sound out of the turbocharged 3 litre straight 6.

Looks nice that, I like the way the brake discs really fill the gap behind the wheels, front and rear too.

The car really shifts, can only imagine what the JB4 tuning add on does to these things. Keep watching videos on u tube of the JB4 in action and looks well impressive.

Didn't really like them when they come out, but the more you look at them the better they are.
Nice cars, look the nuts now, and go like stink.
Great colour too, same as my 330d M Sport.

I recommended the 123d to one of my guys at work. its nice
Might be tempted by a 135i next year to replace the 530d and focus rs. Won't be that new though, I prefer the old shape

I test drove the auto and was extremely impressed, so impressed that I would have bought an auto... which would have been a mistake, because I bought the 335iA that 3FRD now has and soon afterwards, realised that I'm a manual man.

Was unsure about the comments I was gonna receive about the car on here. Honestly they are a real pleasure to drive and a great alternative to a stage 3 cossy. I think its quicker than my old E46 M3. Like people have said easily tuned upto near the 400bhp mark. Love all the comforts, heated electric seats, front, rear parking sensors, upgraded speakers etc, fancy computer displays, massive brakes, lovely sounding exhaust, xenons, adaptive suspension, adjustable driving modes and on and on.

Not keen on the wheels on these but the actual shape is nice though, great colour too
Also you know what they say, once you drive a BMW you don't want to drive anything else, you've been warned lol
EDIT just realised you had a BMW as you last car too, point proven! Lol

agree that the wheels arent the best looking but as they are wider rears and aftermarket wheels are very limited.
