Saw my first black 135i on the street yesterday

S4to335 · 06-09-2008, 12:22 PM

Gave him a thumbs up. Surprised I am not seeing more of them seeing as that I live in the BMW mecca...California.

TheAcAvenger · 06-09-2008, 12:58 PM

All the 1s i've seen have been convertible 128s. And i've seen about 5 of them.

ALPINE6SPD · 06-09-2008, 12:59 PM

They are limiting the number of 1's that are sold in the US. This has a lot to do with why you dont see them. In fact BMW is making more m cars this year than they are 1 series cars.

GreenThree · 06-09-2008, 01:09 PM

I saw the first one about a week ago. It was a black convertable. Pretty sharp.

kmoy2002 · 06-09-2008, 01:18 PM

Saw plenty of them at the dealer but not so much on the streets

Boben5 · 06-09-2008, 01:37 PM

looks good except for the fish-eyed front. Interior is sweet though

MrSoulE93 · 06-09-2008, 01:38 PM

Yeah i live in burbank and aparently a guy who works and or lives on my street order a black 135 right around the time i ordered my black 335, because my street now has pimp black with red interior 1 series and black with saddle brown interior 3er parking on it!

P.S. This 135 hides sometimes, id say i see it like 3 or 4 times a week. Both cars came from Century West.

Saw a 135 coupe in Chicago over the weekend, looked like a matchbox or clown car...too small for my taste but I betcha he has no problems parallel parking!!

to_riffic · 06-09-2008, 04:49 PM

i still hav yet to see a 1 series in my area

I agree. Saw one over the weekend, not a big fan.

LI E90 · 06-09-2008, 05:14 PM

I saw a black on black 128 conv, looked "cute"

I saw a 135 AW on red, looked much better

Davinhci · 06-09-2008, 05:50 PM

You saw BMW's at a BMW dealer. Wow.

AV9 · 06-09-2008, 11:14 PM

^ lol good one...

anyways...i've seen about 3 or 4 in my area, various colors, but only 2 135i's and the rest were 128s...

ZuerstBMW · 06-09-2008, 11:46 PM

Ive seen one black 135 in Orlando the other day, but thats about it.

Craigito · 06-10-2008, 12:40 AM

Looks like a cute car...I bet they sell a boat load of 128i convertibles to the ladies.

Was it Sparkling Graphite / Coral by any chance?

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 06-10-2008, 02:04 AM

Come to SoCal. I've seen like 20. . . maybe 15.

hellrotm · 06-10-2008, 02:04 AM

I drive a lot in SoCal, I have seen quite a few 1ers.

Actually surprised how many I have seen, considering there is only 10,000 coming to the US.

kwakr738 · 06-10-2008, 09:33 AM

Saw a few 128i cabrios around Long Island, NY. It's more of a girl's car. Saw a 135i in NYC and it looked badass.

BMW_TT · 06-10-2008, 04:55 PM

i saw couple of 128i convertibles only and one black 135i

to_riffic · 06-10-2008, 10:49 PM

there was a 135i parked across my house today.
