Hey All,

About 3 weeks ago I had a YOLO moment and decided that my previous 3 cars (2 x F10 520ds and a Nissan Qashqai+2) hadn't been that special, so I saw an offer for a new M135i and decided to buy it. I'd never sat in one, never mind driven one. I didn't even do the usual insurance or man mathes checks, I just went for it.

A week a go today I picked her up - a 2016 M135i in Apline White with Coral Red Inteior. Its a 5 door sports auto with comfort pack, sun protection glass and heated seats.

I am in love. The noise, the power, the noise and the styling are just amazing. I'm averaging about 17.5 mpg but I don't care - for the first time in my life I'm off out at night just for a drive. Already planning a quick stint accross Europe in summer.





THanks!

Congrats mate looks nice. Don't worry the fuel will get considerably better once run in. Europe trip is on my mind this year as well. Enjoy your new purchase.

Welcome and congrats on the new car!

I'm still loving mine in my 3rd year of ownership for all the reasons you mentioned. This forum is a great source of info.

Enjoy!
feel free to post more photos :)

lovely car. is that 17mpg from ragging it??? :0
A quick google of YOLO to find that this is precisely what kicked off my decision to order an M-Lite! :D

Although I did have to work out if I could afford said YOLO moment, tax (£205 to current £145), tyres (£145 to current £215), insurance (£550 to current £395) and fuel (est £200 pm to current £120 pm).... :lol2:
Thanks all.

RE: 17mpg, I've had the occasional sprint in it, but not ragged it quite yet. Although I have done ~400 miles since I picked it up so on my third full tank now.

I'll get some better pictures uploaded later today.
Nice car, good choice F20 !

Welcome and enjoy...
Good taste. Same colour options and options as mine
Very nice but I am biased.
Looking at that boot, I hope you've got plenty of tar remover in. Mines the same!
Congrats, good taste in cars, shame about the football team. :****: :lol2:
Congratulations! Almost the same as the one we ordered for my wife last week, apart from ours is a 3 door with black leather. I would have has Coral, but it wasn't my choice.

I really think white suits the LCI. I'm hoping I'm allowed to drive it from time to time when ours arrives :)

More photo's would be good.

Congrats.
I pick my alpine white 5 door up in 3 weeks time. But I ordered last year. How did you get a 2016 so quick ?
Welcome aboard and congrats on the purchase. Glad to hear you are enjoying your new ride

Good choice, welcome to the AW CR club.
I'll second that (albeit mine is pre-LCI)
I have mine arriving VERY soon. Ordered 31st December from Halliwell Jones Chester. I can't wait now, it's been a while since owning a quick "mondern" car.
