Just an update on my M135i.
Im dailing this car and in a space of 9 months, I have already done 20000km, bearing in mind that i picked the car with only 5000km on the clock. I must say that i drive it like i stole it, almost everyday.... such an awesome car this one.
I have taken long distance trips to kosi bay, portshepstone, pmb, jhb, clarens, newcastle, etc. Local driving its such a complete package, so much drama on twisty roads and when it rains, its really a fun car to drive. On open road, it does everything you want with ease, but no so comfortable as your standard 3er.
Long term fuel consumption is about 10.1 l/100km as most of my routes are highway driving. Fuel is not an issue, i fill up almost every weekend and just have fun. No major issues to date, gearbox is bulletproof, tires i have another 40% left, no accidents except minor scratches.
Its very sad that these are the last rear wheel drive hatches as bmw will be migrating to the fwd in the next gen 1er.
