135i from IAA (Sedona overload)

I took these months ago but thought I would share.

Thanks for sharing, could you give us your personal impressions on fit, finish and interior room?

ChrisK · 11-19-2007, 09:46 AM

+1 for the pictures. However, I'm irritated that some get to sit in the car

It is so hard to tell on the trim .... at that view it looks different that some other pictures .. can you give us a detail impression of the trim .. also are these pictures resized at all? Can you send me a full sized picture if these are resized?

thanks,
Crowley

Was the shift knob weighted?

MOTO69JOE · 11-19-2007, 10:34 AM

No to the weight knob and as you can see no m sport steering wheel. This was a very basic 135i probably used for these shows. The head and leg room is very similar to the the e46 coupe. The back seat isn't that bad either and as you can see the trunk is pretty decent. The battery is directly under the middle of the trunk as opposed to the right hand side of other models. I felt very comfortable in the drivers seat and it definitely feels like it will be a very fast stable well handling car.

I'm surprise they didnt put the //M bits in that car. The only reason I'm getting the sport package is because of the seats and //M bits. I dont care about the shadowline trim.

I could be wrong but in the last picture it does look like the sport seats though. I guess it could be a very early build.
