Picking up my 135 vert tomorrow

Raudy · 09-17-2010, 08:56 PM

So my lease on my 07 335xi is up and I decided to go a bit crazy and get a 2011 135 vert jet black/coral red/m-sport/prem etc. After ordering on 7/16, the car finally arrived in CT last week. I was on vacation and am picking it up tomorrow. So excited and it is supposed to be mid-70's for the next week.

I hope I like it!!!

So I picked up my new car, it was absolutely gorgeous. Put my 3 year old in the back and we set off. The car felt great and we were all excited, THEN as I crossed the 36 mi mark, all of the lights check engine, brakes, tpms, etc went off. What the???? I called my dealer and he was shocked.

I returned it to the dealer under limp mode and got a loaner, what a sad turn of events.

Hopefully I will get my car soon and it will work.

Sorry I did not update, but after Monday morning at BMW service, my wife picked up the new car, again. She said it seemed to be working fine. I finally got to drive it that night and have been driving it all week. My initial thoughts:
-Car is gorgeous, the m-sport rims are beautiful
-absolutely love the coral red with the glacier silver trim
-at highway speeds with top down, car is awesome.
-stock stereo is much better then I was expecting although does not seem to be as good as the L7 in my 335.
-seat of pants feel is noticeable increase in throttle response and 6th gear feels stronger???
-Love the exhaust note, sounds raspier then my 335, in a good way.
-my golf clubs fit in the trunk without a problem(I was a little concerned)

All in all very happy so far, now trying to figure out if I want to install a sub/amp to add a little extra low end to round out the sound. Any thoughts here would be greatly appreciated.

Will add some pics soon it has been a crazy week.

Sorry for the delay in pictures, and also sorry I used my blackberrry for the pictures. Just been really busy working and trying to drive the car as much as possible in this great weather, thus the reason it is a little dirty as well.

Enjoy

Congrats on the car. I've been enjoying mine for just over two years. It is a great car to drive with the top up or down.
