Well picked this up on the 2nd and truly loving after having no end of problems with my 335i; nice and practical yet awesome when you want it to be.
Its standard apart from:
- Sat Nav,
- Cruise & rear parking sensors,
- HK Stereo,
- Heated front seats
- Rear tinted windows

That's a very red interior! Camera playing tricks or is it THAT red?
I think I like it... 
Really like this facelift over the older, down syndrome afflicted 1-series.
That steering wheel looks comfy as hell.

Thank god they changed the light's! Looks decent now.
I think it needs a bigger rear spoiler, but apart from that, I really like it.

Lovely! Done 900 miles in mine now and enjoy it more with every drive. Still surprised by the sheer pace of the thing but then stick it in comfort and it's a pleasant drive too. Got an MPerformance exhaust on mine, pops, crackles and bangs galore

A mate of mine has one. Lovely car. Great alrounders. Quick, efficient, comfortable, loaded with toys and well priced
M Performance exhaust is a must and can be had for sub £500 used.
Eibachs from German eBay are less than £150 and improve the ride and aesthetics.

Great stuff the front end is so much better on the facelift
Keep an eye out for the radiator fans there was a common fault in which cars have been exchanged because BMW can't fix them

I was under the impression that this problem had been rectified now? Mine failed after 2 weeks last year, but since they replaced the fan and did the software update it's been perfect...
Have just clocked up 7000 miles in mine 13 months after it was sorted, been to the ring and back as well in that time. Such a great car, I'll be gutted when I have to give it back

Cheers all; M Performance exhaust is on the list but think I will give that 6 months before I try and find one.
The red leather is a bit Marmite but I really like the contrast; always wish I had had it last time I bought a new BMW. So glad they changed the steering wheel on the facelift; as that is one thing I felt let down the pre-facelift.

The BMW M135i sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.1 seconds (automatic: 4.9 seconds)
Holy shit that thing is fast!

Don't chop in an M3 for one unless MPG is a huge factor. The m135 is a special car but wouldn't trade my M3 for one. The noise being the main reason!
