Wow, ditto.

I will be 22 when purchasing the 135i and will be buying it as a graduation/commissioning present for myself before going off to undergraduate pilot training (UPT) for the Air Force.

I figured the 26-30 bracket would blow up...

I'm not no steenking Boomer.:wink: I'm a War Baby, born during The War (don't ask which one!) but I've been into small fast cars since I was a kid.

As a former Advertising/marketing guy I'm interested in Demographics. I'm not the least surprised that there's a lot of interest among 20-30 Somethings in 1 Addicts, after all they are cool, exciting cars.

I suspect most of the actual buyers will fall into the 35-55 age groups based on the projected price points. When I was ypounger I passed up many chances to buy a 2002 or 320i because I just couldn't quite swing it.

If I had it to do over I'd buy a nice used...oops!..pre-owned one.

Food for thought.

Hello, all. I'm 24. I'm a 135i hopefull I figure I'll be snagging one in about 2 years. Never owned a BMW but I've always lusted after them. I'm a car / bike guy. I like speed and class and small cars. So for me the 135i is perfect.

I feel old now, but when I got a new '99 M3, I was only 25. You'll be glad you are when you have to pay your insurance. My insurance was 1/3 the cost when I turned that age.

I think so too, especially the first few years.

[imported_Mimi]

Nice to see the age demographics. I've always had fun cars, so why not the new 135....?

[my07blkgti]

I will be 21 when I am ready to purchase the 135i next year.

[colonel1961]

[Italteen3]

I am 20 now. Should have the car by the beginning of April and I will still be 20. Voted 21-25 because Im almost there.

[JSierra]

I am 25. It seems like yesterday I was waiting for a new bike. Not the new 135i.....

[Year1of1]

Wow!! I'm surprised to see what a young crowd we have here..
I think we should start a thread/poll, to see what age demographic is actually buying this car?
I'm 31 years old and I have been saving my $$ for a long time to buy this car. With options, I'm into it for about 47K of which I'm financing 27-28k. The more I think about it, I think I might be cutting it close as far as $$"S go. I wonder how the younger demographic is going to swing it!

[curtdragon]

Im 27 and Im financing with about 10-12K down, I have a great job and havent had a car payment for a while so I dont mind much getting into a payment again for a car like this. I always told myself my next car would be a BMW and I definitely I plan on keeping this car

I think younger crowds are more into online forums than anyone else. I have a few friends in their 30s that also join online groups while the people I know in their 20s practically live online.

[jdesclafani]

20 years old here....getting the car in about a month...
