335 in shop...135 loaner

Arle09 · 07-10-2009, 02:05 PM

With 2300 miles my 09 335 is in the shop for making that whistling, whirring noise that some of you have posted. They gave me a jet black 135 loaner and I must say it is a lot of fun to drive with especially with the sporty m steering wheel - I wish they had this on my 335.

NewSong · 07-10-2009, 02:06 PM

What do you think about the difference in grunt, and handling?

drift90 · 07-10-2009, 02:09 PM

but its on a 3 series =(

its expected.. the 1 series is reallly small.. and its a twin turbo motor... thats beyond epic.

Arle09 · 07-10-2009, 02:12 PM

The grunt and handling is certainly more apparent in the 135 - this certainly has to do with the size compared to the 335. I do miss my 335, just saying its fun to drive the 135.

MCMLXXXIX · 07-10-2009, 02:14 PM

LOL i really like that "year one of the one" design on the start button. great detail!
haha

darkphantom · 07-10-2009, 02:25 PM

dammit, why do you guys get all the fun loaners? They always stick me in a 328i....bah!

bubbletea 4 me · 07-10-2009, 03:08 PM

why is it that the 135i gets all the lil goodies that we dont on the 335i? (steering wheels, cooler start engin button/design, nicer looking brakes, exhust, shift nob, and so on..)?????????

tjnptel1 · 07-10-2009, 03:24 PM

i am sure we can get that steering while on the 3 series

E90RWC · 07-10-2009, 03:50 PM

Yee the brakes are pimp on the 135i!

cstavaru · 07-10-2009, 05:34 PM

That steering wheel comes with the M Sport package regardless of whether its a 1 or 3 (I have it).

You're lucky! Last time I got a Buick, granted it only had 35km but it's still a Buick... real appropriate for a BMW driver huh

jmsent · 07-10-2009, 06:39 PM

I was in Norway last month, and one of my colleagues has a 118d. This is the hatch version. The 1 series is very popular over in Europe, but is seen very much as an entry level car. I don't care for the interior design very much, and the car feels rather tight inside. But on small Norwegian backroads, the car is a blast. And that little turbo diesel is amazing. 50+ mpg, and a boatload of torque. I find the market positioning of the 1 series here as awkward. I just don't see the point, given how close the pricing, performance, etc. comes to the 3 series.

lol, I got the BMW loaner after asking for it. The first time they gave me some crappy jeep product....HUGE,HEAVY,SLOW AS SHIT...and to top it off....HORRIBLE MPG!

stressdoc · 07-10-2009, 11:19 PM

I have the M sport wheel on my 207 E90. Great mod if you don't have it (ZMP). Tischer has them for a good price.

Last month I get Z4 as a rent-a-car.
After work take my wife to Malibu throe Malibu canyon - man, that was fan!

WTF with pealing paint?

Maxim S · 07-11-2009, 04:36 AM

as much as i love my e93 i love my 1 series too. The road handling of this vehicle is totally superb. On the turns you dont even feel your turning.

Spydeputy · 07-11-2009, 05:33 AM

it seems more like a date car, surly not a family ride.
i need to test drive one to appreciate the handling.

I don't know what pilling paint is, but that paint is pealing. It's been repainted-poorly.

I have m sport package 335i and the same steering wheel as the 135 (see my garage pics).

radiantm3 · 07-11-2009, 02:20 PM

You don't need the m sport package to get that wheel on the 1. It comes with the regular sports package. The 1 doesn't feel entry level to me at all, but maybe that's because mine is pretty loaded. The only thing better about my e90 is a bit less interior plastic and more room when traveling with the family. I think the 1 fits the bill better as a BMW and being a driver's car.

DisGuy · 07-11-2009, 03:05 PM

i remember when they gave me a 135i as a loaner. HAHAHAHA i f 'ed that car up so bad. i was thinking how could i treat a bmw like this and then the lil devil on my shoulder said fuck it, it aint yours.
