M135i Add

[Neil M]

In a recent add on PH, NJ refers to an M135i as:
"With breathtaking performance that puts a CSL M3 to shame in a straight line this is by far the best hatch back ever made."

The 135 was probably taken in part exchange against a CSL? Obviously saw the error of their ways! :hahaha:
There's a moral to this story - don't bite the hand that feeds you!

[AlexGTT]

It might feel quicker in a straight line but in reality there's not much in it.

Anyway, NJ and his ad text content = :smt009

[Mike R]

Around town due to the M135i's superior torque to weight ratio (332lb ft and 1440kg compared to 273lb ft and 1385kg), I don't think the CSL would see which way the M135i went. However, the CSL ISN'T about the daily schlep - it's far more special than that.

Sport Auto achieved an 8:18 around the 'ring with the M135i - at almost half a minute slower than the time they figured for the CSL, I won't be selling up just yet ;).

[73CSL]

Had an M135i the other day & whilst it was quick, it left me feeling a bit cold.

This would only happen with 4th gear and 1200 rpm.
No chance the m135 is anywhere faster than a csl.
I have a z4 35is which is faster than the m135i but is not faster than the csl.

Come on Mike, who races around town at our age. :wink:

Trust me, I have both. In a straight line it's close but shown a proper Welsh A or B road and the M135i won't hang onto the CSL for long. However, real World 40-80mph overtaking ability is stonking in the M135i and effortless.

What the big guy said:smokin:
Plus above 100mph the csl would pull a gap,but spend a little dosh like cups pads and camber plates it would be very close on track against a standard csl.

Not sure your politically correct

is more apt for a poorly designed car.

Get in Shim.:smokin:

[shimmy]

Order has gone in, it is now looking beautiful in my eyes :-D

Delivery end Mrch and if it comes later deal is off apparently as BMW only discounting until end March (so i3 may be back on)

Alpine White (£0)
Black Dakota Nappa Leather (£0)
Black wood trim (£0)
Silver trim finishes (£0)

Rear and side badge delete (£0)
Drivers comfort package (£385) - inc rear PDC so I don't drive into things :)

I calculate costs over two years inc everything like fuel etc is £7000 so £3500/year through the business, as it is a pool car. Not bad for a sporty little number.

It doesn't have to "work"... Just follow the five rules and hey presto. Easy if your home address is work address and you have more than one employee.

When I bought the Range Rover Sport a few years ago I wrote to my tax office and asked them if it was ok as a Pool Car and they said they were uninterested as to it's value, just that the rules were followed.
