Default M135i

Had a test drive in a M135i at Elms with a few trick bits on , good power when you got it to rev, lots of dials to look at also the rev lights were quite cool on the steering wheel, had a nice sound when you put your foot down hard, the brakes were good but if you tracked it I would think they would fade and get very hot quick but ok for road use, it did hold the road well but had quite a bit of roll when you hit the corners hard, all in all a nice car for £34k new so in 2 or 3 years time would be great value for money, good car but not for me the search continues

I've got one of these today whilsy my daily is in for a service

Impressed , drives nicely , quick etc .... but as a daily driver think I'd prefer a 6 cyl diesel , like a 330/335 of 530 etc , and as a toy its no way near the fun levels of the CSL. If I only had to have one car though, it would be up there on the list

I love mine. Had it a year now and still brings a smile to my face every time. Noise is better with a few miles under the belt and also engine feels keener. It's a proper hooligan machine when your in the mood.

All I need to complete the full owners experience is to get it on track with Curly for scalpin'.

Might throw an LSD on it but leaving stock otherwise. It's quick enough.

Drove an RS3 a couple of weeks ago and other than being quick it was boring in comparison.

Agree with Alex,it's not a csl! But any cars gonna be a comedown after them

But for under 30k it's a quick well sorted for road and a bit of trackwork as standard.

Did a wet trackday last week and the grip it had was quite impressive
